Look at this Article in the Economist. British extremists are planning to attack their own country.

And that underground train bombing that killed so many people in London last year - this took place at Kings Cross station and a couple other tube stations that I used while studying there 10 years ago. Now, one has to be cautious of Al Qaeda. The world is truly in turmoil.

Now, look at that suicide bombing in Iraq this morning. A man pulls up to an area where Iraqis gather to get "days work", and a crowd of eager recruits gather around his car, then he detonates the car. Many are killed.

What about the fake checkpoint set up by so called insurgents, where American contractors are kidnapped, all of this and the Americans tell us that under Saddam Iraq was worse -

On a happier note, the Windies are playing Pakistan again today - hopefully they improve on the first game, when they suffered a big loss despite a masterful century by Lara. Today's match wil be Shiv's 100th test as well. Good occasion on which to do us proud.

Read where some lucky folks now have a daytime strip club - and the local Bishop is complaining.. oh well..

Enjoy your week... hope its busy enough for you..

US Congress, Cricket, and other general stuff

Windies first: Not nice, losing the final in that way. Not so bad to lose, but 138 all out is really poor. And to think we were forty odd for no loss, then a collapse. However, they recovered from the 80 all out given to us by Sri Lanka to beat India, Australia, South Africa and then make it to the finals, although losing at the finals quite badly - so overall their performance still shows continued strengthening.

A test against Pakistan is about to start, and Bravo just made 109 in a draw against a Pakistan Cricket Board Select XI. So all the best for the Windies in this series. Hope we will have it on TV here.

US Congress: My what an ass-kicking the GOP has received in the US. And the last seat to be won in congress was the one where the losing Republican candidate, George Allen, had called a native American some kind of ethnic slur while on the campaign trail.

What will George do now - ok - Rumphole, I mean Rumsfeld has been forced to leave, but what change will the new regime bring to that travesty of a war in Iraq? Will the Democratic controlled Senate approve Bob Gates as the new Defense Secretary?

What will happen to US prime, and all the other lending rates which influence borrowing and credit even here in the Caribbean?

All will await the answers, as what happens in the US does affect the rest of the world.

Rally round the West Indeeeeees!

Bloggionistas

Your West Indies Cricket Team, which I blog about ad infinitum to the chagrin of non-cricketing bloggionistas, has done you proud once again.

Chris Gayle, now the top six-hitter in world cricket, was not out with a huge ton and a half.

Jerome Taylor, whose photograph I posted on this here site as being the future of West Indies cricket, was uprooting wickets like there was no tomorrow.

Shaun Pollock, who is rated the number one ODI bowler in the world was hit for six by both Chando and Gayle, who hit him around like a ping pong ball, with disdain.

I disagree with my bloggionista who said that they let us down when they lost against England. I give my commentator the benefit of the doubt in that perhaps he was not aware that England were by then eliminated from the tournament, and are now in England sucking salt through the wooden spoon, as Motty would say.

Now, our team gets to play Australia in the final, who they actually beat in an earlier round.

Congrats to the West Indies, and come what may, they have already batted their way into the final, and for this they deserve credit.

I qualify what I have said in the past about the cynicism of some caribbean people (especially those from the country of my birth) about the Windies is not unique. The English are now becoming the same away about their team.. so that should be proof that such cynicism is misdirected, i.e. there is no need to follow the English slavishly.

Sad news on the home front, in that there has been a double murder in East End. Before I comment further I will await the disclosure of the names of the deceased and any accused persons. Here is the net news article.

I plan to go to the closing party tonight for the Florida Caribbean Cruise Association conference - hope to drink them out. (Kidding)

Also, Third World tommorrow night - see you there - otherwise, I will drink for you.

Enjoy your weekend - it is here, its Thursday, you know.
