His actions seemed totally consistent with those of somebody being fed lines - say a few words, wait a little, say a few more. Some of you might say this is just the way Bush rolls, but apparently a NASA imaging analyst thinks differently: http://images.salon.com/news/feature/2004/10/29/bulge/story.jpg http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2004/10/29/bulge/index.html I have to say, it looked to me like he was wearing something.

This raises an interesting question, just what would Jesus be doing today? 1. Spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the subjugation of an already traumatised people and killing 15,000 of them in the process. 2. Diverting the same resources and zeal towards the elimination of AIDS in Africa or providing clean drinking water for the people of that benighted and ignored continent? “When we pray for His Will to be done…..”

“Dear Mr Brooker

You are the kind of strident pseudo-intellectual that has brought the image of my country (England) so very low in the eyes of most around this world”

The only people who have brought England (sic, shouldn’t that be Britain, or don’t the Celts count?) to the state of worldwide opprobrium in which we find ourselves today are the arch appeaser, Blair, and his hopelessly inadequate sidekick, Hoon.

“Do you really want a following of bi-sexual losers?”

If it’s a choice of bi-sexual losers and the likes of you, I know what my preference would be.

“…..of one of America’s finest Presidents”

Stop! Stop! My sides are splitting!

“Fourscore and seven years ago….” – Abraham Lincoln
“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” – Franklin D Roosevelt
“Ask not what your country can do for you….” – John F Kennedy

I doubt it would be considered an "ironic joke," and I'm sure the Guardian would be among the first newspapers to deplore such a "call to action."
