The battle of the Irish, or how I discovered I might actually like Phil Donahue

On Fox again, just for a minute. O'Reilly, my favourite psychopath tv host had Phil Donahue on the Factor.

Donahue has been very outspoken on the wrongness of the American war in Iraq and the insanity of the so-called "war on terror" (which might just be superseded by the newly announced "war on nature"). He's also been a vocal supporter of Cindy Sheehan, who has single handedly started a mass movement against the war in the belly of the beast.

Anyway, O'Reilly v. Donahue. Donahue 1, O'Reilly 0. Check out the transcript here. Makes for great bedtime reading. Got the heads up from Jeff Sparrow. Ta.

Right, we're off to find C an office chair - the dining room table/office has chairs designed to make guests eat and run, clinching their flaming lower backs. Not the best place to work all day, I'd imagine.
