Stupid is as stupid does

Cronyism pays. We've seen it over the years. Look at Louis Lee Sing and the Citadel radio application (even the Privy Council saw the blatant cronyism here), the airport contracts with UNC financiers, the episode of Hazel Rogers-Dick and the SWRHA, and the Landate affair which is mixed up with Emile Elias and the Scarborough Hospital.

Aside from the intolerable time that hospital is taking, now we hear that the cost has risen from $135M to $474M. We hear reports that materials left the hospital site to appear at the private project of a government MP. As an aside, said MP claims the project belongs to his wife. Hmm, isn't property in a marriage considered joint?

The JLSC has moved off it's fat arse to do something about Shermie. Intent to follow through on two charges is stated, but will it follow through on intent? Time will tell, but I can't say I'm holding my breath. that might well prove to be detrimental to my well-being.

Moving from 'breakfastes', Hazel Manning has now joined the ranks of mental midgets Bush and Quayle.
She said: “I understand what he’s asking and I’ve explained what we are doing, that there is a document, that it is documented, that the document will be out there very shortly if it’s not there already. Therefore we are engaging the schools in discussions and we are saying...”.
Or maybe she was trying to do a Donald Rumsfeld?
"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know."

Anyway, it does prove that one fact remain constant - sleeping with your boss does take you ahead of your capabilities. Guaranteed!

On the positive side of things, the US Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal by Guantanamo detainees so that they can challenge their detention in US Federal Courts. The US prefers that they be tried in military courts, perhaps because the government feels greater control there.

From tomorrow smoking is banned in all public and work places in England. Smokers will now have to have special smoking rooms (can you see an additional expense here for business owners?).

Quite right. Under so-called 'rights' common sense has taken a long leave, and stupidity is being promoted. Another situation where division is created instead of integration.

For legal purposes such as identification (court, customs, immigration, policing etc) all veils should be removed, no exceptions.

If people wish to live a certain way in their country, that is fine, but to come to another country and create divisions by imposing your own ways is absolutely wrong. There can be no excuse.

That's like coming into my home as a guest and then dictating to me how I should treat you, despite your behaviour. Basically, the most suitable answer I can think off: F**K OFF!!
