Rants from a Jamaican British Woman

Womanist I am not writing blogs at 3.50 in the morning, so not quite sure what's with time. It is precisely 12.17 pm in my household. Mercy I am not that weird.

So Mr Blair has admitted to what we knew all along. God is responsible for him invading Iraq.
I guess fair is fair, God is clearly also responsible for crazed rucksack carrying young men wanting to blow up all our arses. I would now like to sit and pray quietly to God to save us from evangelical politicians and evangelical suicide bombers. I hope God is listening to me, or else God help us all.

So Tessa Jowell didn't know that her husband had re-mortgaged their home and then subsequently paid off the £350,000 still owing in a matter of weeks. Well what's to be said! I guess that if as a nation we keep behaving like gullible fools. Our government will continue to treat as such. This government seems to be full of ministers who places very little value on telling the truth about anything. Minister upon Minister have shown utmost arrogance in the absolute belief that they can and will get away with quite outrageous behaviours. Peter Mandelson is a case in point. Here is a government prepared to tax the poorest citizens into extreme poverty, whilst continually turning a blind eye to its Ministers bad behaviour and to be frank 'greed'. Tessa Jowell should do the right thing and resign, because her story frankly is incredulous. If she really had any integrity, she would have left her cheating husband a long time ago, instead of quietly hoping that no one would notice.

Am I the only person who has begun to feel pity for George Bush? I watched the man on the news last night being told by his Senators and Aides about what would happen to New Orleans when Katrina struck. Mr Bush sat and seemingly listened, but said not one single word. Then it dawned on me that without a piece of paper with someone else's ideas on them, or him literally being prompted through an earbug, the President of the United States of America, simply does not know how to respond to anything that doesn't involve ranting on like a lunatic about international terrorism. I am convinced that his response to Katrina was not him showing a lack of care. The man simply is not able to absorb information. I could see him doing exactly what I do when someone try to give me instructions about how to drive to a place I don't know. I can't read a map, so by the time they've got to the 3rd turn left, I have completely switched off, and am probably thinking about 'Desperate Housewives' or 'Sex in the City or something'. He was probably thinking 'Gosh, it's nearly nine o'clock, I should be in bed'. I think that on George Bush's tombstone, it should read. "He simply did not comprehend".
