NEW YORK (Reuters) - A portrait of President Bush using monkeys to form his image led to the closure of a New York art exhibition over the weekend and anguished protests on Monday over freedom of expression. "Bush Monkeys," a small acrylic on canvas by Chris Savido, created the stir at the Chelsea Market public space, leading the market's managers to close down the 60-piece show that was scheduled to stay up for the next month. read full story / add a comment

Arthur may have had views on these worldly things; I don’t know he never said, too late now I guess, because he’s dead. In the inner city west, just a park bench when wet or under a tree when fine a homeless man without a postal address. read full story / add a comment

a reminder that the exploitation of children by using them as workers, is ILLEGAL not only in Ireland but in Holy Ulster as well, (where until only thirty years ago they weren't even allowed use a public park on sunday) but throughout the European Union and the world at large. Millions of children around the world miss out on their childhood as a result of poverty. Poverty deprives them of the capabilities needed to survive, develop and thrive. It prevents them from enjoying equal opportunities. It makes children more vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, violence, discrimination and stigmatization. read full story / add a comment

Burlusconi has been acquited again. Here are two pictures of him, one taken in 2003 the other taken in 2004. Whereas the leader of the World Orange Revolution makes Rashers from Strumpet City look like novice alcholic who's just spent six months campaigning in a nuclear fall out zone, Mr Burlusconi is only rumoured to have had little eye tucks exactly one year ago, to help them twinkle all the more. read full story / add a comment

The majority of Europe's constitutions specify the seperation of Ecclesiastic or Theocratic authority from that of the Judiciary, Executive and other State elements. In France the legal seperation is based on "Loi 1905" In Spain it is based on the accord signed between the Vatican and post dictatorship regime in 1979. In Ireland (under the Eire constitution a special place is mentioned for the RC church) in Northern Ireland religious ministers look in the XXI century for photographic evidence of conflict resolution. read full story / add a comment

once upon a time, 63 years before the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime and the popular embracing and hugging of plural democracy by the peoples of Iraq assisted by the coalition of the willing, despite all the nasty misfits, have a go types, intellectuals, teachers, and biographically scant men from the provinces of Ireland, Europe the Americas, Africa and Asia doing their best to stop it. A very pissed of Charlie Chaplin, composer, script writer, director, actor, comedian, satirist and genius saw fit to screen a movie about dictatorship and the limits of strong leadership and the evils of demogogues and the threat to civilised values in Europe. He had begun work on it in 1938, and when it was finished he chose to append a personal statement feeling "Hitler is a horrible menace to civilisation rather than someone to laugh at" rather than shelve it. He financed the movie himself, coz no-one else cared to annoy nice Mr Hitler. read full story / add a comment

once upon a time, 100 years before the Reclaim the Streets party 2016, a number of misfits, have a go types, intellectuals, teachers, and biographically scant men from the provinces of Ireland, paid Mr Christopher Brady a small and nominal sum of several shillings to their mate to print a few copies of their "proclamation". Their names were- Padraig Pearse, James Connolly, Thomas Clarke, Thomas MacDonagh, Sean MacDiarmada, Count Joseph Plunkett & Eamonn Ceannt They were very proud of it, and put their names in capital letters at the bottom. They died under suspicious circumstances later that year. It was the same year the Lord Kitchener saw the one milionth copy of his snappy "Your country needs you!" recruitment poster for the slaughter of the trenches printed. He was very proud of it, and it helped send many millions of young men to their death. He died under suspicious circumstances a year later. read full story / add a comment
