    Should be a quick trial.

    Everyone in the jury will be totally familiar with the evidence.

    Alleged evidence...

    I personally find this whole trial by media business despicable. Since when was it ok to attack an alleged victim and include photos of them in an article? Journalistic integrity??!

    And by technically illiterate, I dont mean that in practice he can't read.
    Ahem.

    I am beginning to think that it would be possible to have a worse president than Dubya. McCain.

    The fact that he cannot use a computer at all puts Bush's 'Teh Google' gaffs in perspective.
    Even Ted 'series of tubes' Stevens knows something about the internet.
    Imagine the technology policy that would come from a technically illiterate President's administration... Ugh.

    Anyone seen the video of Saakashvili being interviewed by CNN and then being spooked by the sound of planes overhead... At which point he sprints off to cover leaving his bodygaurds in his dust?
    He may or may not have lost it but he is definately very scared.
    video
    And then there is the Bush plan to essentially piss off the Russians:

    Aren't the Russians being neocons too in their own way? Seeking to achieve your desired economic / security situation by military bullying would be my definition of a neocon foreign policy.

    I would have said more nationalist or national conservative than neo, but yeah.

    Hey, its only a month until the Large Hadron Collider comes online.
    Maybe the ensuing black hole will suck in all the worlds issues and leave us with nothing to talk about but baking and furniture.

    And lets not forget, that while Iraq was a mistake originally, it hasn't turned out all that bad.

    Ummmm.... Okay.

    It was more an observation about the similarities in flags between two nations at the opposite extremities of Europe.

    The same could be said about most sport mad nations... South American countries come to mind.

    I've been fascinated by the suggestion that Russia has launched a internet attack on Georgian websites.

    It is the obvious new front for conflict in the 21st century. China is playing the game also.
    A coutry could be severely hobbled by a web attack with communications and more importantly public knowledge of events being blacked out.
    Forget 'shock and awe'... Its 'confuse and conquer' at work.
