Gardaí in Waterford city are investigating a fire at a mobile phone mast at a well-known GAA ground. The fire, which is being treated as arson, destroyed the Meteor Mast at Ballygunner.

Donald Rumsfeld who is one of the leading terrorists in the world because he has been instrumental in orchestrating the deaths of hundreds of thousands and terrorizing millions has resigned and is now to be replaced by another terrorist, Robert Gates who is a former deputy director of the CIA. Going by the record of Gates' CV, it is a certainty that the war of terror will be stepped up and many more people will be murdered whilst at the same time using up valuable global resources read full story / add a comment

"If you accept that the bubble has popped, which most casual observers would, then we will have a period of rising inventories, falling sales and static price growth. There is nothing supporting current valuations, no supply deficit, potential investment returns, prospects of cheaper financing or outside macro economic developments. We are on the slope of hope." - Duplex @ thepropertypin read full story / add a comment

One medium size cauliflower, $3.46, bananas remain at $13/kilo at Coles Meyer supermarkets as of 8/11. Australian food prices at the grass roots Mr. (incompetent economic manager) Howard. John Howard is without doubt Australia’s biggest liar, racist, war criminal and scoundrel Prime Minister; he is also proving to be a thoroughly incompetent economic manager – just across the Tasman bananas remain at $2/kilo. The hard times (water shortages) haven’t hit yet but they soon will; can you imagine Howard’s performance in a real crisis if the above prices are an example of his management in relatively easy times? read full story / add a comment

In recent years many people have realised fantastic health benefits from an approach to diet based on whole, organic food supplemented by high quality food supplements to make up for the cumulative loss of vital minerals, vitamins and other essential nutrition resulting from consumption of the denatured food which most of us are forced to buy throughout our lives. There is a huge groundswell of interest in this issue as people convert in droves to a truly healthy way of eating. A prominent UK exponent of this approach to diet who regularly arranges seminars in Ireland on this topic has spoken to capacity audiences of up to 300 people around Ireland who are turning away from pharmaceutical driven medicine to taking control of their own health by learning about how to nourish their own bodies properly - something the medical profession itself is still profoundly and shamefully disinterested in. read full story / add a comment

In the last week this year's "transparency org" world corruption perception report has been published. It's a report which is taken seriously by some, and certainly no country looking for foreign investment wants to be at the bottom of the 163 states ranked this year. (Interestingly the world boasted 158 states for last year's report) But both the annual list of "corruption perception" and "bribery perception" indices, can not be understood as isolated statistics. Just as Greenspan's biographer assured us he takes stock of over 4000 weekly indicators, we can not consider just one single country or economy when discussing corruption or bribery. Nor can we refuse to draw in other human development indicators, (the UNHDR report) all the usual "facts and figures" and internal data. read full story / add a comment

Central American Free Trade Agreement- Hugo Chavez's got a new Friend. Ortega promised to uphold the trade agreement and will probably be buddies with Hugo Chavez, which will displease Bush, however given Ortega's recent aqquistion of God and anti-women voting- not overtly concerned. The exit polls are suggesting Ortega is in the lead after 15% of the Ballots have been opened, the liberal party are polling 7% and they are the nearest political rivals. read full story / add a comment

The 2007 Budget was ratified by a large majority in the government. The current budget continues the policy of attacking the Israeli workers’ living conditions. Welfare benefits are frozen; the privatisation of the most basic social services continues; and unemployment benefit for workers under the age of 28 are simply cancelled. The government forces us – the workers, the unemployed, the pensioners and the youth in the country – to pay the price for its military adventure in Lebanon. And while the government attacks all the working women and men in Israel, it does not forget to take care of its real friends – the capitalists. This budget will grant them benefits and tax cuts. read full story / add a comment

The Shell to Sea campaign, which represents residents opposed to the pipeline, is due to outline a new initiative aimed at breaking the ongoing deadlock. Details have not been disclosed, but reports this morning say the proposal could allow for fresh dialogue between Shell, the Government and the local community. read full story / add a comment
