Interesting post. I remember reading once that Mc Carthy (an absolute bastard who gave Eisenhower sleepness nights), was so pissed ( years after leaving the Senate), one night, that he fell over into the gutter and people spat on him. He was the epitome of the 'small man' who was given too much power. He abused it but had a ready audience due to the dark clouds over America. If we knew then what we know now!
I have written about the "mercenaries" incarcerated in Zimbabwe before. This groupof 70 mercenaries was arrested in Harare about 6 months ago as they landed to pick up some arms they had ordered. They have been accused of planning a coup in Equatorial Guinea, an oil rich country with a ruthless, corrupt and backward government. We do not know all the facts bu
Problem is: Too many people confuse John K. with Senator Bob Kerrey who was multi-decorated in 'Nam.
Hear hear!

I note that Joeuser has disabled comment on the Harteis group. There must be a good reason for this and I suspect that the good "Doctor" and his spouse are up to no good (oops, I mean they are not entirely above board). Forgive me if I'm wrong but I get the distinct impression that the Diamond D's of the world have a little advertising going on here. Could i
We have to remember that Jesus, how great He was, was an ordinary man who had insight into things the the normal Palestinian person probably did not have. He was probably a philosopher or a seer who saw life in a different perspective to your ordinary Palestinian. He was obviously a very wise person but one wonders whether, because of the harsh death He was subjected to, that He was hailed as someone far more important than He really was. However, ther
I'm stunned that an application has been made for sanctions to be instituted against the Sudan. Is this how the world is going to solve the problem? We know that the government of Sudan is partly responsible for the genocide and starvation in the Darfour region. We know this because: * The Janjaweed (Arab militia) is govt. backed. *The Janjaweed

Great stuff Draginol, I was in NY Times but I suppose that pales in comparison. We're famous Buddy!

Dear Joeusers, Sudan has been in the news lately. I have lived in Africa for 50 years and I can tell you it is no surprize. Every African story is a nightmare, a tale of horror and a reflection on how the poorer African countries cannot get their act together. The Dufor region in the Sudan is subject to ethnic cleansing and the government (please cho
I;ve been around a bit and I can't help noticing all the fit young men who are accompanied by fat wives and girlfriends. I seem to anticipate fat men with skinny ladies but that doesn't happen as often. In fact, on a ratio of 2 to 10 (my observations only), there are more fat ladies with athletic men than fat men with luscious, lithe ladies. Before all the fa
Dear Joeuser Bloggers, I'm on a two month sabbatical so I don't get to write as much as I would like to right now. In fact, I itch to get that laptop onto my bed and pluck away at the keys. Especially when I see adulterated crap on the TV as I did the other night. In fact I was so disgusted I did pull the old laptop out and decided to vent my fury with this missi
The USA is due to hand over Saddam Hussein to the Iraqi authorities any day now. Little information has been given out by authorities as to Saddam’s whereabouts at present, but we are led to believe that he is secure in Iraq. If he is, the forces in Iraq deserve a medal. That country is in turmoil and close to blast-off. How they could have concealed him in
Points taken. You know little about South Africans though, the black population has the highest standard of living in Africa and 3 in 10 have internet access.
Adnaustradamus says Bush will be re-elected. It does not matter whether George Bush, in his election year, knocks the crap out of Iraq, bin Laden or, for that matter, Colombia or Zimbabwe. What does matter is that he sent in the big guns because of the terrorist threat to the World. It matters not a whit that he miscalculated on the WMD, or the
One Saturday morning you see an advert in the newspaper soliciting donations for the starving people in the DRC, Sudan or Somalia. The photographs fill you with guilt and despair so you dig deeply into your pocket and send $100 to one of many aid organisations. Most are quite legitimate. You receive thanks for your donation and are told the money will be use
Sorry, I was interrupted. Don't ever give up!

Perhaps you may feel better if I tell you that my first novel---12 months work--went into the bin after I decided it was crap. Tried to re-write, never got down to it.
I'll kick off with: The most original way I've embarrassed myself: I stubbed my cigarette out in my bosses full beer can! You should have seen the look on our faces.
