People, the US election is over... Chuck Norris spoke.

" Experienced: Some high schools have more students than Wasilla has residents. Many cities have more residents than the state of Alaska. No legislative experience other than City Council. Little hands-on supervisory or managerial experience; needed help of a city administrator to run town of about 5,000. " -- About Sarah Palin: A Letter From Anne Kilkenny

On one hand :

" U.S. President George W. Bush expressed "deep concerns" over religious freedom and human rights in China " - CNN

and on the other :

" The International Court of Justice in The Hague sided in 2004 with the Mexican government's argument that the United States had violated the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations by failing to inform the arrested Mexican nationals of their right to seek help from the Mexican Consulate.

(...)

But the court, a branch of the United Nations, has no power to enforce its rulings. A spokesman for Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, has said that "the world court has no standing in Texas." " -- Los Angeles Times

The USA - where the Union can sign an international treaty the States dismiss - should worry a bit more about their international commitments before giving lessons to the rest of the World. I think it'll be MUCH harder in the near future for US nationals emprisoned in Mexico to have access to a consulary representative... Action, reaction...

"The United States has used precision missiles to strike a "known terrorist target" in southern Somalia, a U.S. military official said. The strike destroyed two houses killing three women and three children, a local official told CNN" (emphasis is mine)

• 54 per cent of Afghan territory has a permanent Taliban presence
• The insurgency now controls vast swaths of unchallenged territory, including rural areas, border areas, some district centres, and important road arteries
• the question now appears not to be whether the Taliban will return to Kabul, but when this will happen

Better and better eh ?

A l'aéroport de Boston hier soir, un très sympatique et cultivé couple de retraités américains en partance comme moi pour Paris avait envie de papoter avec moi et ils ont fini par me dire ça : "Dites à votre Président que ce n'est pas une bonne idée de faire ami-ami avec le dangereux imbécile qui occupe en ce moment la Maison Blanche". Voila, on va dire que le message est transmis.

Bwahahaha ! Tack så mycket David...

Yep, there's at least one true artist in Albania. Wow.

So true...

So apparently, there is terrorism in Second Life too. Quick, let's send Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, ask the Congress for a few more billion dollars and let's install Democracy there, fighting that new axis of evil ! (source : Laurent Jouanneau)
