Blair in Trouble
It seems like Tony Blair is in some trouble in England. According to yesterday's USA Today some of the member of the Labor Party have called for Blair to step down after the party lost a large number of local elections. The Labor Party lost 319 seats in local elections. Members are calling for Blair to step down and allow Gordon Brown to take power. Brown criticized the member of the Labor Party who called for Blair to step down by saying that a coup of Blair was a "recipe for disaster".

2.  Time to contact British former Foreign Sec Jack Straw .....
In the Downing Street Memos he seemed to be a voice of reason.

After the Labour Party suffered major defeats in local elections, losing 317 seats, Blair demoted Straw from Foreign Secretary to Leader of the House of Commons. Now that Blair's own party is passing around a petition asking Blair to name a date certain he will step down, we should look to the British for documented proof of our own corrupt Administration and its policies.

3. He's QUITTING next summer
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=VVEMEY4J4E013QFIQMFSFFOAVCBQ0IV0?xml=/news/2006/05/09/nblair09.xml

Tony Blair abandoned his election promise to serve a full third term last night, indicating that he could stand down next summer.

Although he refused to set a timetable for his departure, saying that it would paralyse government, he anointed Gordon Brown as his successor and promised to give him sufficient time to establish himself before the next election.

4. The "Coalition of the Killing" is getting busted. First Spain, then Italy
(a couple of weeks ago)...now the UK and Australia. Then?....

Who else is there? Oh, yeah, Poland. Anybody know what's happening there?

Not to mention the awesome, peaceful, democratic, leftist revolution that is sweeping Latin America.

And those peaceniks who got elected a while ago in South Korea, who think Koreans nuking each other is a bad idea.

Have hope, friends--and crawl out from under the "Iron Curtain" of the U.S. war profiteering corporate news monopolies, and have a look around at the big world. The Bush junta. Is. All. Alone.

the same.
