I've got chicken pox! Surely I'm far too old for that sort of thing. You can watch it unfold on PoxCam. You sick little monkeys.

However, being ill has not stopped me ranting about war/Bush/Rumsfeld/Blair/bananas. I see that the kind of freedom which the US government wishes to bring to Iraq is already in motion for American citizens in the form of the Domestic Security Enhancement Act 2003 in which the police seem to have got away with having no accountability at all. I'd love to know what the Arabic for 'sunsetted' (no, I didn't know 'sunset' was a verb either) is. Perhaps the war-profiteers at Autonomy Corporation (nice Orwellian touch) would like to tell us, seeing as their software apparently decodes terrorist email. And all terrorists are Arabs, are they not, Mr Bush? Dimwit. The US Department of Homeland Security uses this magic software, which is a nice little earner for Autonomy. Could it have anything to do with the fact that Richard Perle is a director of Autonomy? It's like already having four before you've even tried to put two and two together. So I guess Mr Perle is rubbing his hands with glee - he bangs on for years about how the US should invade Iraq (Clinton was too busy playing his sax to do it, so Bush was 'elected'), then he makes tons of cash out of it when it finally happens. He can probably afford to resign.

Mighty Scotland have lost to mighty Lithuania. Still, at least the Germans drew.
