Today’s Headlines

The Talk Show Host list of ‘Head of States to Assassinate’ grows
In democracy loving America Christian television talk show host Pat Robertson called for the assassination of democratically elected Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez recently. Hardly a good example of Christian or American values Pat.

Now Bill O’Reilly has called for the assassination of Syria’s leader Bashar al-Assad “if he doesn’t help us out”. That could be bad news for other Heads of State if they need to pull troops out of Iraq. It seems not helping the U.S. out in the no win situation they alone created is now punishable by death.

Blair put the home side back on track
MI5 have confirmed they intercepted a phone call between 82 year old terror suspect and British Prime Minister Tony Blair for the pensioner’s ejection and detention under new terror laws last week. An MI5 spokesperson said while it seemed the suspect politely accepted the apology from the British PM they are checking to make sure it was not code.
