Yo Caspah!

I was going to give a loud shout to my boy Caspah when I saw the tabs were a bit overheated about some politico-governmento types being caught out both here and abrizoad:

Police in the cash-for-honours inquiry are examining details of meetings attended by Lord Levy, Labour's chief fundraiser, at which the question of political honours may have been discussed, the Guardian has learned.

Detectives are investigating whether Lord Levy later suggested to colleagues that they should not draw attention to his involvement in the discussions because of the fevered atmosphere surrounding the inquiry.

And:

George Bush suffered a fresh setback yesterday when a top White House aide, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, was found guilty of perjury in relation to events leading up to the invasion of Iraq.

Yo Caspah, what page is the 'dog bites man' story at? Politico-governmentos don't tell the truth and are turned out, stop the presses.

Son of the preacher-man

Another harpie sets out to rid the world of bLiNg:

"I think that Jesus would be disappointed in our ignoring the plight of those around us who are suffering and our focus on our own selfish short-term needs," John Edwards told the site. "I think he would be appalled, actually."

Edwards has often cited religion as a part of his politics, frequently linking his efforts to fight poverty as a matter of morality.

Especially the religous art of faith healing. As demonstrated circa 2004, tight:

This is John Edwards on Monday at a rally in Newton, Iowa: "If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk, get up out of that wheelchair and walk again."

Sing that song preacher-man.

Nature Balances Itself

Needless to say, I may start paying attention to this climate change beef:

Brothel owners in Bulgaria are blaming global warming for staff shortages.

They claim their best girls are working in ski resorts because a lack of snow has forced tourists to seek other pleasures.

Petra Nestorova, who runs an escort agency in Sofia, said: "We have hired students, but they are temps and nothing like our elite girls."

Maybe it is time to start paying attention to what is going on outside the estate. Not really, No Pasaran with the save and the travel book update:

Switzerland entered a treaty with the European Union to import workers, seeking more bankers, managers, and academics. What it got was an influx of prostitutes.

The number of people offering sex for money has risen by a third in Zurich and 80% in Geneva since Switzerland opened its borders to workers from the 15 E.U. member states at the start of 2004, police estimate.

Some lawmakers predict prostitution will grow even more after the government last year removed work restrictions for residents from 10 newer E.U. countries, as well.

I need a break from Majorca anyway.
