Give a thought to the world’s youngest political prisoner - Gedhun Choekyi Niyama. Remember him? He was 18 years old Wednesday and has not been heard of since 1995 when he and his family vanished after the boy had been declared the reincarnated Panchen Lama, second only to the Dalai Lama himself. Remember him when you hear Bush and others like him – people to whom civil liberties come second to economic interests – praise the growth of China. Remember him when you hear Bush and his kind talk of democracies and human rights. The “virtuous” Chinese government put a communist puppet in the boy’s place. Nobody has heard of, or seen, the boy since. Your doubts or beliefs about Buddhism matter little when compared to yet another example of how the thin veneer of progress in China covers a seething dictatorial regime determined to crush any opposition. Empty rhetoric from Bush and his ilk when they are wedded to the principle of democracy in Iraq and have the government of China in bed with them. Adultery at its worst.
I see Snoop Dogg has been refused entry to Australia. He can frame that on his wall along with his refused entry to the UK. We have enough troublemakers without importing them, thanks! All yours America – you keep him home where he belongs – leave him playing in his own backyard.

Had the blood tests this morning – the phlebotomist at my doctor’s surgery doesn’t seem surprised when she opens here door and sees me yet again. Wonder why? Wonder too what she’d think if I went to her instead of the hospital for the other regular tests. Guess people would start talking about us. More waiting for results – more wondering what this bump on the road is about.
I watched the video of my friend, (sic), Bush dancing and playing the drums – he’s much much better at playing the fool. At lease Tony Blair fared better when he took part in a sketch with Catherine Tate for Red Nose day, (a day-long event from the BBC to raise money for charity). At least Tony was intentionally funny – far less embarrassing that Bush being amusing when he doesn’t mean to. Politicians really should stick to what they are good at – hoodwinking the public.
A lot in the British news now about Prince Harry serving in Iraq. He’s a member of the armed forces and should, BUT will his presence place his men at greater risk? That is the question. One more death, British or American, is one death too many. Those of you who followed my previous blog know my feelings on the situation. We should have got out once Saddam Hussein was ousted. Are the civilian deaths now any more morally justifiable than those when that bastard was ruling Iraq? I hope Bush has a good answer when he gets where ever he’s going, as heavenly or as hot as that place may be. Blair? I do believe he genuinely thought there were weapons of mass destruction. No excuse, though, for continuing this debacle.
The citizens of Plymouth UK have been named as the worst dressed in a survey conducted by a certain Miss Butterfly web site. Having visited the site I don’t think Plymouth has anything to worry about – judging by the home page, their butterflies seem to have suffered a certain amount of wind damage.
I don’t think Richard Gere will be visiting India in the near future, in spite of his recent trips there. Seems there’s an arrest warrant out for him after snogging Shilpa Shetty, a glamorous, if somewhat daft, film star. Daft? Yeah daft – only daft, mentally disturbed and/or self-centred, egotistical idiots appear on Big Brother. And what does Shilpa say? Her spokesman says she’s away visiting temples. Images of Gere have been burned in the streets of Mumbai. Get a life Mumbai people – plenty of more important things to worry about - seems they’re daft enough to appear on Big Brother too.
Another encounter with the Ghengis Khan’s of the pushchair brigade – those demented mothers with the crazed look in their eyes and blood-lust in their hearts. Got on a bus yesterday only to find three war chariots taking up 3 seats – all handles in the aisle so as to trap unsuspecting passengers. One of them had so much shopping suspended from the handles that the death wagon tipped backward when the bus went round a corner, leaving the tiny occupant staring roof wards. The owner, a teenage mother, seemed to exude hatred to all those around her – I guess a certain number of smiles didn’t help. The child did survive the ordeal, encouraged by the warlady, (female of warlord), as she dropped her “h’s” in a stream of invective. And, yes, she was wearing hipster jeans over her more than ample rear, together with a short t-shirt and far too much cleavage showing – and I’m not talking about the upper half either.
See ya
