Over the last couple of days I’ve read thru the archives of the mailing list for Move American Forward – the organisation behind the campaign to persuade US cinemas not to show Fahrenheit 9/11. I’ve never come across such an incredible amount of bigotry and intolerance in one place. It’s full of people with the… Continue reading Moving America Forward
Martin Linton is an Idiot Too
Seems there are a lot of idiots around recently. In this article from my local paper, Martin Linton (who is my MP) explains why he supports identity cards. He does, however, say that he is canvassing opinions from his constituents. I’ll give him some bloody opinions!
John Gibson is an Idiot
Earlier in the year I mentioned Fox News correspondent John Gibson and his My Word segments that presented an astonishing view of the whole Andrew Gilligan and David Kelly affair.

Instead I ended up in the geolocation session. The most interesting talks for me were Earle talking about OpenGuides… Continue reading NotCon 04
Dead Presidents
Manchester Online has a story about Morrisey commenting on the death of Ronald Reagan at a gig in Dublin. Apparently this got a large cheer from the audience and when he went on to wish that George Bush would die too he got an even larger cheer. Pretty standard stuff from a once -contraversial figure… Continue reading Dead Presidents
