How can 59,054,087 people be so DUMB? The Left The re-election of President Bush dominated British newspapers Thursday, and many cast impartiality aside in reporting the result.
"How can 59,054,087 people be so DUMB?" the liberal Daily Mirror asked in a Page One headline. Inside, several pages of coverage were headed “U.S. election disaster.”
The Independent bore the front-page headline "Four more years" on a black page with grim pictures including a hooded Iraqi prisoner and an orange-clad detainee at Guantanamo Bay."
“Victory for the hothead: How far will he go?” asked another Swiss weekly, L’Hebdo.
The Right A few British papers welcomed the U.S. election result. “The world is a safer place with George W. Bush back in the Oval Office,” the tabloid Sun said in an editorial.
All agreed the result reflected a sea-change in U.S. politics, a victory for neo-conservatives and the religious right.
“March of the Moral Majority” said the conservative Daily Mail, above a photo of Bush with his wife and daughters. “America’s moral majority sweeps Bush back into the White House,” The Daily Telegraph said.

"There is no creator" - the Dalai Lama. These are words of common sense, and it tells me that "spirituality" has nothing in particular to do with a belief in the supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael (the 'Whiner') Savage so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
