Is New Orleans the beginning of the end of the war in Iraq? Margot Kingston's Web Diary
I guess there's not any oil in New Oleans. I didn't see too many celebs standing on the roofs there either. At least they got Fats Domino out of there, and Channel Nine did there little thing...made great tv, for the right price. Pity they left behind 20 other Australians! Network Nine can get a few Aussies out of the mess, but the Australian Government can't get people out of there. Is this the new WaterGate? Suitable name. The Flood gates may have opened to the impeaching of President Bush. Someone needs to tip off John Howard and George Bush...perhaps they should use Howard Baer's www.theanonymousemail.com After all, Howard established www.politics.com Amercian appears to be its own worst enemy. Perhaps Iraq and China may want to give the Yanks a helping hand?!

The Dos and Don’ts of Disaster Relief -Sydney Morning Herald - Radar blog
What is it going to take to get George Bush the ass?
Ok, he knows there's WMD's in Iraq, because his government sold them into there, we have another Vietnam going on, and now he can't clean up his own backyard, and the world was focusing on Bali and Live8 a few months ago.
Here's an interesting exercise...grab a copy of the bible, read some of the quatrains of Nostradamus, witness world events, and compare the "coincidences".
Howard Baer from www.theanonymousemail.com has invented a great way to top of politicians and such about all sorts of matters, without fear of repercussion.
Who are those 3 anti-christs anyway?
My mate Steve Cooke in Scotland must have known something when he established www.worlddisasterhelp.org
Bob Winstead in the US from "Entrepreneurs" fame did well to establish www.unity05.com
Something tells me that Red Cross is going to be very busy in the coming days, weeks, months and years. At least people with too much money can find plenty to spend it on these days.
Stay tuned for more big news.

Sexing up the election - Sydney Morning Herald - Radar
Kissing babies is so five minutes ago. With this election, the accessory for the debonair pollie is not a screaming rugrat to plant a wet one on, but a secret sordid past, writes Georgia Lewis.
Why risk catching a day-care centre cold when you can tell the world how you kissed someone other than your wife instead?
The member for Parramatta, Ross Cameron, apparently tired of the hypocrisy of his Mr Family Values persona, thought confession might be good for the soul - and the poll - and admitted to an affair with "an exotic solicitor". Whether the voters are as forgiving as his wife remains to be seen, but maybe he thought he'd catch some Bill Clinton-style charisma as a result. Like the revelations of former prime minister John Major's affair in Britain, it does make one look at a seemingly boring guy in a new light.
Mark Latham copped a mouthful from his former wife about what a terrible husband he was. There was tittle-tat about whether the relationships with his first and second wives overlapped and others came out of the woodwork with claims about a raunchy buck's night video. Latham made a tearful plea to leave his family alone, but maybe wasn't that embarrassed when he said: "Can I give you the breaking news? I had an active love life before marriage."
There was a certain swagger about him as he went on to say that it'd be big news if he didn't have an active love life as a single man. Especially as John Howard lived at home until his wedding day at age 32. It was Latham's big chance to win the blokes' vote by coming across as a skirt-chasing legend, a connoisseur of western suburbs strippers and a wearer of breast-festooned barbecue aprons.
Whether this will work for Latham remains to be seen. It's just another one to add to their list of differences. Will Aussies go for a bloke who put it about a bit? Or will we stick with a bloke who probably tucks his singlet into his freshly ironed underpants?
Whatever the case, pollies' secret pasts at least make this already tedious campaign a little bit more interesting. If only we were allowed to enjoy the skeletons in the closet of female politicians in the same way, instead of seeing them burned at the stake a la Cheryl Kernot. Seriously, folks, we haven't evolved that much at all.
Sex sells...even in politics. The exception proves the rule, and the exception is this case in John Howard. Look at what happened in the California Recall election. When the Arnold "scandal" broke re : Oiu Magazine interview, his popularity went up. Some other sexy and entrepreneurial candidates also got a decent media guernsey including Abner Zurd (Lori Fontanes, film maker), Mary Carey (adult actor) and Larry Flint (adult industry entrepreneur). Arnold Schwarzenegger proved to be the complete package. It appears that Ronald Regan had the formula of charisma, acting, sexy charm and smarts, right all along, and others have followed.

Article: Businessman risks jail for e-mail secrecy, by Jessica Coomes
Web site owner says he won't tell on user

SCOTTSDALE - A Web site that would be nothing without its anonymity is being compelled to reveal the name of a customer.
But the site's founder would just as soon go to jail as unmask the user.
TheAnonymousEmail.com, based in Scottsdale, lets subscribers send e-mails without attaching their names.
One anonymous user sent e-mails to several employees of Mobilisa Inc. in Washington state, and attorneys for the company secured a subpoena this month to force the Web site to expose the sender.
"I won't give up my company. I won't give up this person's name," said founder Howard Baer of Scottsdale, who's expecting contempt of court charges. "If I have to go to jail, that's what I'll do. I haven't had a vacation this year anyway."
Mobilisa, which develops mobile devices for the government and military, did not want to comment on an active case.
If the content of the anonymous e-mails had threatened someone's life, Baer said he'd be the first to reveal the name. But as far as Baer can tell, the e-mails exposed a couple's affair.
"Is it a nice thing to do? I guess that's anyone's opinion," Baer, 63, said.
"Is it illegal? No."
Baer has started several companies and now operates four. He wouldn't say how many people subscribe to TheAnonymousEmail.com, which has four employees.
The site has been up since the end of April and has been threatened with legal action four to five times, Baer said. But this is the first time the threats have come to fruition.
"If we beat this one," Baer said, "I think it'll hold off anyone else."
