News & Events - October 2006

Fox superstar Bill O'Reilly is running neck-and-neck with Washington Post editor Bob Woodward as the two vie for top spot on the New York Times list of nonfiction best sellers.

In the Time's list published this past Sunday, Woodward's Bush-bashing book, "State of Denial," came in as No. 1, with O'Reilly's "Culture Warrior" close on Woodward's heels in the No. 2 spot.

Last week, "Culture Warrior" was No. 1 and will take the No.1 slot
yet again!

The Times has reviewed Woodward's book positively.

But so far the paper stubbornly refuses to review O'Reilly's books.

The New York Times has fallen so low on the ethical journalism scale, that it is actually embarrasing!

They are so Far Left Wing Radical ACLU Supporting, that their readership has dropped 38% in the last year alone...instead or reporting the hard News...they fabricate it !!

Refusing to Review Mr O'Reillys Best Sellers books is symptomatic of the "control" they attempt to exert over the public.

Why?

DO you think "Bennie and the Jets" is the greatest song in rock and roll history?

BERNIE TAUPIN

Hey kids shake it lose together
The spotlight's hitting something that's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight so stick around
You're gonna hear electric music, solid walls of sound.

Say Candy and Ronnie have you seen them yet, oo but they're so spaced out
B-b-b-Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and wonderful, oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit, you know I read it in a magazine, oh
B-b-b-Bennie and the Jets.

Hey kids plug into the faithless maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets to find out who's right and who's wrong.

What do you think of the BA employee sent home because she wore a crucifix?

When other people are allowed to wear symbols of their religion, which were in direct conflict with their stance on unfiroms? They changed the rules so that headscarves and turbans can be worn. Shouldn't it be one rule for all? And if you don't like it, don't work there?

What's with veils all of a sudden?

I get the impression more people want to wear them nowadays, I have little recollection of people wearing them before, not at school or in the work place, sometimes saw Indians with a sari over their head or Sikhs with turbans. That didn't bother anyone.

Are we becoming intolerant? Are we feeling provoked?

Why does Belgium seem to be riddled with killers?

Is it because they talk about it? I mean some countries have a media policy like the UK whereas others try to keep hush to preserve evidence. However, it seems that there are constantly children going missing in strange circumstances or killers getting caught! You've got that crazy guy who killed 2 little girls not so long ago, you've got Dutroux, the guy they never caught who chopped people up and then left bits in places with grim names, not to mention bodies being found and legs appearing strange places...it's such a small country!

No offence to Belgians by the way!
