The bloke in charge of the quarrantine centre is a convicted fraudster who was exposed by Roger Cook on his TV show. He made thousands by not declaring the amount of birds he had and pocketing the import duty.
What a surprise (not) that he's back in business and at the centre of the first case which is probably due to dodgy imports. He's probably got the "Blair Award for Business Endeavour" on his wall somewhere.
Tony meanwhile is busy defending his school reforms: exams so easy you can pass by writing the date, school buildings run by homicidal engineering firms and dinners that can kill you with E.coli. "Anarchy, chaos and disorder - my work here is done!" he must mutter to himself each day.
Hurricane Wilma is hammering Florida right now and I'm hoping my friends out there are OK. This is their 22nd named storm and 12th hurricane this season. Still the penny hasn't dropped with the Bush administration about climate change. He'll spend billions in repairing the damage but won't tax his industry friends a few hundred thousand each year for pumping shit into the air.
Al-Qaeda has issued a call for its supporters to go and help the victims of the recent earthquake. Judging by their attitude to fellow Arabs in Iraq, I'm wondering if this "help" involves bombing or shooting anyone they get their hands on. More bodies turn up in Iraq having been executed, and a series of bombs at hotels kill 40.
Still it's not all bad news - plans race on ahead for a fleet of Virgin Space-intergalactic-thingies (explain again how something that pokes its snout quickly beyond our atmosphere is galacticin any sense) which will clip the atmosphere for 5 minutes. Expect something to go horribly wrong on one of the flights and some rich twat to have paid 113,000 pounds to have been turned into a giant firework by Richard Branson.
Looks like Hunter S Thompson was ahead of the game, again.
