The tiny bit of GST That I pay for my cup of tea Will go towards the bit of lead That goes into somebody's head In deepest dark Afghanistan: Perhaps a peaceful loving man Targeted by secret sources Murdered by the special forces Dies to keep me safe and free As I drink my cup of tea. ...................(Michael Leunig)
Coolest LINKS 4u ...all opening in a new window
FunkyPix(Vol. 1) This is mainly a collection of photos from our daily life in Thailand after we first arrived here, but even back then there were occasional glimmers of outrageous and dangerous political activism.

Get your revenge on Sarah Idiot Palin...use your mouse to fling her violently around your screen. Try the new options for her running mate John whatsisname, or other idiots like Robert Mugabe.
Global Warming Flood-Maps How would YOUR suburb cope if both ice-caps melted? Check out your street.
Give Bush a Brain. Use your mouse to drop a brain into Bush’s head. Your reward? Get to hear sound-clips of dumb things the klutz REALLY said.
Beyond the Fringe. A like-minded plogger (political blogger) from down under. Useful stockmarket tips.
Tap guitarist plays Prelude 3 from Bach’s ‘Well-Tempered Clavier’ (Book 1, BWV848) on two guitars at once. Bach’s score (pdf format) is an object lesson in how to write 2 parts but achieve 4. Brilliant.(but please note: I'm not responsible for the sidebar ads. Nor is Bach)
Steve Irwin in the Art of the Great Masters. A gallery of 'grate' Classical art featuring a known convicted crocophile. Khaki is this season's new red. Apologies in advance for the website's soppy intro, but just to bring things back into balance, here's a link back to FunkyPix2's latest Irwin post.
Yiddish with George and Laura. A must-watch video. See George run. Obviously it's out-dated now, but dammit, it's still fun.

Recent earthquakes. Constantly updated world map. Did the earth move for you too? We had our very own earthquake here in Chiangmai.
BOYCOTT THESE OIL COMPANIES because they still do business with BURMA. They are CHEVRON, which owns Caltex, Texaco & Unocal, and TOTAL, which owns Elf & Fina. These rogue oil companies have been operating the Yadana natural gas pipeline in southern Burma since the early '90s. The junta takes in an estimated $450 million a year from the Yadana project alone--and uses that money to maintain its brutal control, while most people in Burma live in dire poverty. To keep their profits flowing, Chevron and Total lobby hard in the U.S. and Europe against government measures to support a democratic transition in Burma.
Not The Nation: Brilliant spoof of Thailand’s newspaper The Nation. Real insight into the ironies and contradictions of the Thai mindset. Funny as hell. Now someone should do Not-The-Guardian...
