British PM Gordon Brown’s wife Sarah Brown seen in a lovely jacket on Channel 4 News this week. The title of the video explains all…
Half man, half badger.
That’s all.
Apparently (but can’t find a link to the story) 20 of the climate protestors at Heathrow airport flew in from Dublin!
That’s like driving to a WeightWatchers meeting!
Yesterday there was a comment about the Harry Potter spoiler. The comment seemed a bit over the top for the subject matter:
Who decides which books get press (Harry Potter) and which get censored? After all, censorship is becoming America’s favorite past-time. The US gov’t (and their corporate friends), already detain protesters, ban books like “America Deceived” from Amazon and Wikipedia, shut down Imus and fire 21-year tenured, BYU physics professor Steven Jones because he proved explosives, thermite in particular, took down the WTC buildings. Free Speech forever (especially for books).
Last link (before Google Books caves to pressure and drops the title):
America Deceived (Book)
The book “America Deceived” does not appear on Amazon, but if you Google the comment, there’s loads of them very similar to the one above. On another site, someone else speculates:
Regarding “America Deceived” It was NEVER available via Amazon or B&N. It was published via “Fast Track” at iUniverse.com (a subsidiary of B&N, btw) IT WAS NEVER BANNED FROM ANYWHERE
The author choose not to have it released via B&N or Amazon per iUniverse. Political motivation or just a cheapskate? You decide.
If you would like, you can call them yourself and ask. The phone number for iUniverse is 1-800-AUTHORS. No, really, call them and ask if it was ever distributed by Amazon or B&N and they will tell you it wasn’t as it was a “fast Track” publication.
It is the speculation of this commenter that the author of the previous comment is actually the author of the book looking for some easy publicity via blogs. A Google search on “America Deceived” will bring up hundreds of very similarly comments, but all have the link to iUniverse in them.
Coincidence?
It’s definitely not the usual comment spam, as the commenter doesn’t provide a URL, so it’s probably publicity.
Cheeky monkey.
