George Bush’s Legacy Marked In George Clooney Film And Wind Power

BARBRA Streisand says George Bush, whom she had just been kissed by, will be remembered for “the ruination of our country”. And – irony of ironies – “But, he was very disarming…”

Indeed, he was disarming in Iraq and Afghanistan. So Bush is war. Or will Bush be remembered for his environmentalism:

The United States overtook Germany as the biggest producer of wind power last year, new figures showed, and will likely take the lead in solar power this year…

Green Shirt Offer: Save The Planet With The Earth S-Mother

JONATHAN Porritt, chair of the government’s Sustainable Development Commission, says “couples” who have more than two children are being “irresponsible”.

The third child creates “an unbearable burden on the environment”. So the third child has to go, for the good of mankind. Abortion for Mother Earth!

Says Porrrit:

“I think we will work our way towards a position that says that having more than two children is irresponsible. It is the ghost at the table. We have all these big issues that everybody is looking at and then you don’t really hear anyone say the “p” word.”

The P word is of course Baby P. He is the ghost at the table, or one of them.

Israel And Gaza: The UN School Massacre That Never Was

THE Israelis killed the 43 schoolchildren by bombing Ibn Rushd Preparatory School for Boys, run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in Gaza. Fact. The Toronto Globe and Mail has been picking though the debris:

Physical evidence and interviews with several eyewitnesses, including a teacher who was in the schoolyard at the time of the shelling, make it clear: While a few people were injured from shrapnel landing inside the white-and-blue-walled UNRWA compound, no one in the compound was killed. The 43 people who died in the incident were all outside, on the street, where all three mortar shells landed….

A terrible loss of life. But the facts are not quite what the media reported at the time:

Pilot James Blunt Says Stay Grounded With Emma Thompson

SINGER James Blunt has created a protest “paper plane” in support of the Stay Grounded campaign.

Later this month, which is the heaviest flight-booking month of the year, we’re going to ask people to Stay Grounded and avoid booking or taking a flight if they can. To do this, we’re going to launch a collection of Protest Paper Planes in London created by talented famous people and talented normal people alike. Each paper plane will be a folded up sheet of A4 artwork with a brilliant piece of anti-flying or pro-flying alternative artwork on it.

When they are not swimming and walking around the world promoting their careers, James Franco, Emma Thompson and the aforesaid Blunt are telling other people not to fly on airplanes.

Blunt’s father, a Colonel in the British Army Air Corps, was a military helicopter pilot.

Blunt is a member of Harrow Aviation Club. Says he: “I can fly anything with a single engine.”

Blunt earned his pilot’s licence, aged 16.

Take it up, up, up and away, James:

Yes, she caught my eye,
As I walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high,
And I don’t think that I’ll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

The Ten Best Birthing Songs Ever

CHARLOTTE Church delivers the customary celebrity post-natal blow-by-blow and reveals that throughout the birth she listened to Phil Collins.

Church says he was plugged into lover Gavin’s iPod and when the song In The Air Tonight came on, out flew Dexter.

Might Church have stumbled on an alternative drug-free therapy? Make a pain somewhere else in the body – in this instance, the ears – greater then the pain elsewhere?

True enough, the baby’s first earthly sounds will not be mum’s comforting screams but the soft rock of Collins, but you take your chances. We will only understand the perils of such exposure when Dexter grows up and expresses himself by rolling up the sleeves on his linen jacket and shaving his head into a sharp widow’s peak.

Anorak has passed this news on to our resident scientists and by the process of playing a stereo in the vicinity of Poole General Hospital they and we now bring you the…

Nancy Pelosi Accepts Role As Contraceptive Device

NANCY Pelosi advocates a “stimulus” package for contraception. Her face will from September 2009, be used to stimulate a crisis of confidence in men and women of breeding age.

Black vans will patrol neighbourhoods of high birth rates and low incomes and beam a holographic image of Nancy into the night skies, down alleys, into cars and wherever people are copulating.

A megaphone will blurt out at all hours of the day and night:

“Before pregnancy Nancy Pelosi looked like this (picture of nubile young woman) and now after five children – Nancy Corinne, Christine, Jacqueline, Paul, and Alexandra – as well as seven grandchildren she looks like this.”

Then the clincher: “Nancy Pelosi is 15.”

In schools, adolescents will be encouraged to masturbate frequently and take classes in premature ejaculation (see poster of the young Pelosi). Pelosi, a Catholic school graduate, will seek out predatory priests and get them to scare the kidz off sex by a series of one-on-one sessions.

All hot water will be turned off, boys will be issued with a regulation sponge and collecting vial (with calibrated targets) and girls… Well, women don’t like sex anyhow, do they Nancy, so they will all become lesbians, nuns, Democrat party congress women or anti-global warming activists.

Advert breaks in football matches will be reduced to 11 seconds. And a new sex education book will teach students that to have really good sex you must first ingest handfuls of cat fur and nail polish, a truism backed up by a big online porn drive.

Says Pelosi:

The exchange:

The revelation came during an exchange Sunday morning on ABC’s THIS WEEK.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?

PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children’s health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those – one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?

PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.

Lights fade. Mood music. Sound of muffled sobbing…

Say What, Speaker Pelosi?
Pelosi: Cutting Poor Babies Accelerates Economic Growth
Maybe it’s all that talk about “stimulus”
Kids are Free! Who Knew?
That’s Probably It
Pelosi’s Inane Rant of the Day
Cheaper to kill ‘em than to pay for them
Pelosi: Contraception is Good Stimulus for the Economy

GAZA and the appeal that will not be aired on the BBC. Says the Daily Mail.
