Three dunces

Dunce 1. No surprise: Bush. Iran clearly looks like too much of a tricky option to George W., so he's picking on smaller fry instead:

The United States has launched air strikes against Islamists in southern Somalia, confirming the country's status as a new frontline in Washington's war on terror. An AC130 warplane strafed the village of Hayo near the Kenyan border late yesterday afternoon leaving "many dead", according to the Somali government. Ras Kamboni, on the country's southernmost tip, was also said to have been hit.

Dunce 2. I shouldn't be surprised by this one either, but Tony Blair what are you wibbling on about, seriously?

Mr Blair rejected the need to set a personal example on greenhouse gases by taking breaks closer to home, insisting science was the key to tackling the problem. "I think that what we need to do is to look at how you make air travel more energy efficient, how you develop the new fuels that will allow us to burn less energy and emit less," he said.

Dunce 3. Again, no surprise, just another small emptiness inside

England conceded a record 221-5 before losing the Twenty20 international to Australia by a margin of 77 runs.

Gas-like odor permeates parts of Manhattan, New Jersey

Read this story on Newsday:

NEW YORK -- A mysterious gas-like odor covered a large swath of Manhattan and parts of New Jersey on Monday, causing brief building evacuations and mass transit disruptions and leaving people around the area wondering what they were smelling.

You know what's happening here? Watch Ghostbusters 2, my friend. Dan Ayckroyd predicted all of this back in 1992. I think. Or perhaps 93.

Either way, New York is for it unless we can get the ghostbusters back.
