• Sunday the 5th of november 2006 : death penalty for Saddam Hussein.
• Wednesday the 8th of november 2006 : political death penalty for Donald Rumsfeld.

In 1991, all citizens living at the east of the iron curtain gained back freedom to travel. 2007, citizens of the only superpower at the west of the iron curtain may lose their freedom to travel. Who won the Cold War again ?

Note to my american friends : such a decision would trigger a revolution in Europe. People would be in the streets, demonstrating before rioting. What is really amazing is not HSA's proposal, it's the lack of reaction of the citizens. In the name of security, you accept freedom restrictions far beyond what's usually needed to call a country a dictatorship...

No comment...

Apparently, this image, that no european would ever care of, the cover of Babytalk magazine shocked so many people in the US it triggered a new poll : 57% of the people are against breast-feeding a baby in public and an incredible 72% think it's unappropriate to show breast-feeding of a baby on television. A mother of a four month old baby sent this line to Babytalk to complain "Gross, I am sick of seeing a baby attached to a boob". Oh dear, she needs a shrink ! And another one wrote "I was offended and it made my husband very uncomfortable when I left the magazine on the coffee table." Well, if her husband is "very uncomfortable" because of such a cover, there are only two options : (a) he's a lier (b) a very partial view of a woman's breast gave him an erection, he and his wife having two children because they had sex only twice... Gayle Ash, of Belton, Texas, even said ''A breast is a breast -- it's a sexual thing" ; Gayle, you should really document yourself about this part of your anatomy before making yourself totally ridiculous in all the newspapers of the world.

A famous french author mocked, 342 years ago, religious posers : "Cachez ce sein que je ne saurais voir". The US should start living in the 21st century and forget about the 17th...

BTW, in Sweden, nearly 100% of women breast-feed babies. In public. In Spain, that's an outstanding 92% if I recall correctly.

Oh, and while we're here, sex is good.

Update: merci à PolarPaulo de m'avoir passé le lien vers le sexoblogomachin de Maïa Mazaurette, qui comme d'habitude pour ce qui touche à la femme quand elle a l'idée saugrenue de vouloir ou apprécier être mère, se déchaîne et se rend - de mon point de vue en tous cas - encore plus ridicule que les puritains américains sur le sujet. Ne pas rater non plus certains des commentaires sur son article, pesant de peanuts garanti...

So Hu is at the White House today. Time to resurrect that old joke.

On CNN's home page, France is burning again. I guess they have nothing more interesting to lie about today... So dear american friends : NO, it's not another revolution, yes these are very very small uncontrolled groups of extremist people taking advantage of students' demonstrations to instill chaos, yes everything is under control. Turn off CNN and go back to real life.

ROFL ! (source: beaufour)

That's a so large number you probably have to count the zeroes to read it in english... And that's the estimated cost in US$ of the Iraq war... "The Cicada and the Ant" is still a good read.

More than five hours ago, at a time CNN was already showing George W. Bush and his faith in US victory in Iraq, the death of Ronald Schultz, american hostage in Iraq, was apparently shown in a video released by Al-Quaeda on the Internet. He was shot multiple times with a machine gun. I saw the news appear this morning on Libération. Reuters told about it seven hours ago. It's still not on CNN, not on Washington Post. Don't disturb the President, he has enough problems like that.
