American atheists ‘come out’
As the marvellous Mr Obama and his science men chip away at a decade’s worth of Bush inspired anti intellectualism, The Nurse is delighted to find a corresponding hike in atheism taking place over the water.
As reported in the New York Times, unbelievers are coming out of the closet in droves. So much so that [...]Keep Obama’s wind of change blowing
The UK’s gutter press is rolling in it’s own filth yet again, this time courtesy of hapless MP Jackie Smith.
While in the US bigger things are afoot as Obama’s winds of change continue to blow hard and cold.
The Nurse is amused to find herself envious of Americans for the first time.
Obama has only been in power since January but his formidable team of science [...]Kittens for President Obama
Everyone loves kittens. The Nurse is no exception, although her cats are virtual; mere images on a laptop rather than talktative, furry, entertaining real life cats.
The Nurse has always liked Americans. She just found Bush and his Administration objectionable.
Reaching out the hand of goodwill, she’d like to present President Obama and his family with this matching set of virtual [...]The Obama feel good factor
The Nurse is excited about Obama’s inauguration in January.
She can’t remember the last time she was excited about politics. For years she has been variously exasperated, bored, frustrated, maddened and rendered comatose. Seldom has she felt positive or hopeful.
But this is different. She’d go as far as to admit that Obama’s victory gave her a little Kennedy moment, squatting on [...]Belated Congratulations to Obama and the American People
All at the Sussex Amateur Brain Surgery Club wish to congratulate Barrack Obama and the American people on the results of their recent general election.
Even the Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, congratulated Barrack Obama on his election win. This is the first time since the 1979 islamic revolution that an Iranian leader has made such positive [...]Welcome Home Omar
Omar Deghayes should now be at home with his family in Saltdean. Welcome home Omar, at last!
Having been illegally incarcerated in the Guantanamo bay concentration camp for the past 5 years it will take some strength to rebuild his life. We wish him and his family the very best of luck and fortune in 2008.
Guantanamo [...]I Love Americans!
I don’t care if my fellow amateur brain surgeons aren’t big fans of America. I am! Having spent some of the most enjoyable months of my life as a post-graduate student at Caltech, living in Altadena, I grew to love both the country and the people. Both so varied, interesting, challenging, rewarding and generous.
I had [...]Playground justice says Bush’s nuclear strategy for Iran is doomed
Like business, politics works to the rules of the playground.
It seems really silly to try and tell Iran they can’t have a nuclear deterrent when every other bugger has a load of them stashed in the garden shed. The US and UK included.
Isn’t it common sense that nuclear weapons will only work as a deterrent if everybody has one?
Try only letting half the kids in a school play with their gameboy at [...]Rudy Giuliani is an Idiot
Rudy Giuliani appears to have shot himself in the foot in his recent attempt to attack the American Democratic plans for improvements to the American healthcare system.
He suggested that, in Britain, his chances of surviving prostate cancer would have been around 44% whereas in the U.S. his chances were much higher at around 82%.
Firstly, his [...]
