.....There's been a lot going on around the Globe this week. These are just a couple of things which have aroused, amazed,annoyed or otherwise activated my grey cells! Starting with the famously eternal "News Channel of the Year" - Sky News . I have no idea WHO votes them every year, but something is wrong. This week, watching the German news Channel " ZDF " at 7pm, I was informed that the European Community had received the official request from the Portugese Government for the much publicised "bail-out".... ......It took the British News Channel of the year a further 18 hours to announce this fact, and even then as though it was an exclusive scoop! They then carried on to inform us that due to the threatened "shutdown" of the American Government, it was possible that some of the State Parks would not be open....! Not a word at that moment about the millions of people who would risk not obtaining their unemployment or food stamps ...
