In Shire Network News this week,we speak to Australian academic, Dr Mervyn Bendle, who has queried the appointment of a man who doesn't believe the West is better than the Jihadi terrorists, to a teaching position at the Australian Defence College. Needless to say, in the politicised world of modern intellectual life, it's the whistleblower who finds himself up on a charge.
We endorse a new candidate for the Presidency, although he bears a curious resemblance to one that's already running. His slogan? "Less community organising, more airlocking of Cylons".
Canadian Greens make a gaffe and then decide the best way to put out the fire is to hurl some petrol on it
We check the actual transcript of the interview Charles Gibson did with Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin and discover one or two discrepancies.
This just in - Obama says McCain is old! So old, he doesn't use e-mail! Yeah, well there's a pretty good reason for that, dumbass. You could ask the North Vietnamese what they know about it, or failing that you might want to spend a couple on minutes to, oh I don't know, USE GOOGLE TO FIND OUT MCCAIN WAS CRIPPLED DUE TO BEING TORTURED BY THE ENEMY! But maybe that's just too modern for the Obama campaign.
UK Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown is now so unpopular that he's become the target of a couple of those subtitled clips from "Downfall" that have become so popular on You Tube. We also play the new quiz craze that's sweeping Britain, "What the Bloody Hell Is John Prescott Trying Yo Say"?
Hollywood satirist and conservative activist Evan Sayet turns fashion critic, as he details just how many pairs of gloves Obama has taken off so far in this campaign.
And Our Man In Britain, Peter Glover, has a few choice words to say about Guardian columnist Johnathan Freedland, who warns America that the world will not allow you to vote against Obama, and if you do happen to elect John McCain, well....in that case...er....we'll pretty much treat you with the sort of lofty disdain we do already. Um, but you'll still protect us if the bad men come, right?
From the frozen tundra of the great white north we hail the welcome return of Canadian blogger Damian Penny, who gives us far more information than we ever wanted on Andrew Sullivan's private life, and some free advice for poor wee Andy, whose delicate spirits are being brutally crushed under the weight of reality.
