A few News Items

I read in the NY Times where the Bush Administration has transfered Osama Bin Laden's driver from Gitmo to his native Yemen. They're still trying to act tough about it though--they've revoked his driver's license.

And anyway, what was going to be accomplished by detaining him in the first place. I can see the Bushies gloating in Cheney's office: " HA! We've got his driver! Now he won't be able to go anywhere!"

Another item was that Kim Catrall has, Lady Godiva-like, stripped naked to save a Renaissance painting from being shipped out of England. I'm not really clear how that was supposed to save the painting...and anyway, something tells me stripping is Kim Catrall's response to everything. 

" What? They've taken trout almondine off the menu at Le Circe? We'll just see about that!" and off comes the blouse!

" What? There's a genocide in Darfur?" Down go the pants!

I guess we all bring to bear our greatest talents. Though, in fairness, it should be pointed out that Kim Catrall is 53 now. Maybe the mere threat of removing her clothes would be enough to effect change.
