Friday News Bytes
- Radical cleric Abu Qatada will be deported from Britain to Jordan, where he was convicted of inciting and sponsoring terrorism, next week. Read the CNN interview with him from November, 2001 for an insight into this madman’s mind.
- Heathrow airport is shutdown and 70,000 passengers are stranded because of an unofficial strike by ground staff in support of sacked catering workers.
- Bill Clinton defends his wife and says Hillary hasn’t decided to run for President. It seems the former President decided to “stand by his woman”.
- NARAL has withdrawn their bullshit, pit-bull attack ad that tried to smear Judge John Roberts. They claim the ad was “misconstrued”. Once again, the Leftists find their insane venom unwelcome by most Americans.
- Tropical Storm Irene is building in strength and gradually turning to target New York sometime next week. If this storm stirs up the East River, there’s no telling what (or who) might float to the surface.
- Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are developing software for cell phones that would analyze speech patterns and voice tones to rate people - it’s called the Jerk-O-Meter. Guess why?
- Today’s Fwance-bashing story is about a Fwench fireman who started fires so he could report them and be interviewed by journalists. It seems his fifteen minutes of fame are almost over.
- Total Weirdness Of The Day Award goes to Australian Shane Wilmott and his surfer-mice .... KOWABUNGA!
CANBERRA (Reuters) - Australia—land of sun, sand and ... surfing mice? Australian Shane Willmott is training three mice, named Harry, Chopsticks and Bunsen, to surf small waves on tiny mouse-size surf boards at beaches on the country’s Gold Coast. The mice are put through rigorous bathtub training and then some have their fur dyed when it is time to hit the beach.
“Usually if he is surfing big waves, I usually color his hair up. Because he’s white, when he gets in the whitewash it’s hard to find him,” Willmott told Australian television. Despite Willmott’s training, Harry, Chopsticks and Bunsen—who live in miniature custom-made villas and own specially made jet skis—are proving no threat to world champion Kelly Slater just yet.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
