POT-POURRI


Condoleeza Rice is in Australia and New Zealand at the invitation of Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith, Caught on BBC News today, it describes: Students at one university are offering a reward of NZ$5,000 ($3,700; £1,870) for anyone who carried out a citizen's arrest on Ms Rice. Her arrest is being sought for "overseeing the illegal invasion and continued occupation" of Iraq, said Auckland University Student Association (AUSA) president David Do.

Brattleboro, VT, has put out notices that there is a petition making President Bush and Vice President Cheney subject to arrest for crimes against the Constitution. E-mails were being sent from all over, some positive and some negative. Many reflected this message in one form or other: You do have many supporters out here in the REAL WORLD.

Girls are making their mark at the Soap Box Derby. An article by Sarah Hollander in the Plain Dealer, an Ohio paper, indicates that it is definitely no longer for boys. Perhaps it is because boys are too busy playing the war games produced for every 'hand-held' toy that is produced to seduce them to buy a new media on which to play it?
