When I said 'linked article' I meant C&B's <i>lynching</i> piece re: Tiger Woods. I've not heard the track yo refer to, but will seek it out for the sake of balance. Cheers & *yawn* Goodnight.

But there is a distinct possibility that I just made that up. Either way, I can imagine it was requisitioned against anyones will. That would dodgy! Drunk Country

I'm being uber careful now, in case I get some blog-based jihad on my ass based on misintepretation of my prattle. btw my ‘that’s a bitr diodgy’ was in reference to the linked article, not Mr. T’s sister-in-law.

Mark Knopfler and Emmy-Lou Harris song called 'If This is Goodbye'. They wrote it after reading the text messages and listening to the voicemails from the people on the planes. Properly moving if you ask me. And it's a way of coming to grips with it and bypassing patriotism and country and returning the whole incident to being something that happened to some people as a opposed to a country. Oh, and your sister-in-law doesn't mind the American stuff. She just inserts the prefix 'looney' before half the things you say about Americans (and Christans) and it rolls right off. Carry on.
