This Bill is a panic measure in a tarnished age

I had the good fortune to see the House of Commons in the evening of its golden age in 1954. Winston Churchill was Prime Minister; Clement Attlee was Leader of the Opposition; Rab Butler was Chancellor of the Exchequer; Hugh Gaitskell was Shadow Chancellor; Nye Bevan was a leading Labour speaker; Herbert Morrison was Shadow Leader of the House; Anthony Eden was Foreign Secretary. Most of these men had worked together in the victorious wartime coalition and had respect and often affection for each other.

Pope Benedict is the man on the money

When Cardinal Ratzinger was elected Pope, his strengths and weaknesses seemed clear. Here was an eminent theologian, philosopher and guardian of Christian truth, but a man unlikely to make the Church’s message relevant to the world today. How simplistic this now looks in the light of his third encyclical, in which Pope Benedict XVI confronts head-on the financial crisis that has rocked the world.

JU Correspondent Jahangirnagar University Teacher’s Association (JUTA) protested the irregularities committed by the university authorities in different sectors yesterday at an emergency meeting of the executive body.

Deadline expires after 13 days: No party constitution submitted to EC yet

Staff Reporter No political party has submitted permanent constitution to the Election Commission (EC) though the deadline is nearing to end only after 13 days. It seems that the political parties those registered with the Election Commission apparently being pressured by army-backed Caretaker Government now are not eager to be regulated abiding by the EC rules. Most of the registered parties are found reluctant to hold their council before finalisation of their respective constitutions within the deadline.

Deb’s Super-Duper SPECIAL Reading: The Cats; The Flame- Reversed; The Letter- Reversed

  Uh-duh!  Moments of clarity come (for ourselves and others) thanks to the sacrifices we’ve made up until now.  Some really stupid moments come, too.  This will be a week in which we (pay attention Aries , Leo and Sagittarius ) will have to put a muzzle on our tempers.  However, on the bright side, we’ll have the support we need, and so any “bad” news we receive will be expected and, therefore, easier on the nerves than usual. I’ve drawn three cards from the ol’ deck, tonight.  Because I f

Vintage Creepy Doll Wrapping Paper.

First I should tell you that I am not making this up.   I am not.  I posted the blog entry about creepy dolls and my dad’s naked mannequin on Wednesday night.  The very next day (which was yesterday), I stopped at a garage sale on my way home from work.  It was a very awesome garage sale.  The people were clearing out their grandma’s estate and Grandma had lots of stuff .  What made it even better was that the sellers were in the business to get rid of lots of stuff .  So I made out like a ba

Zoom in to this small tale that spells defeat

Sometimes, you have to listen to the mountains.” This was quoted to us journalists in Kabul by Brigadier-General Walter Givehan of the US Forces in Afghanistan, with pride. He uses it as part of his mission statement: a reminder, he said, always to be alert to one’s environment and ready to hear the lessons it may teach.

And lo, Dave Moses had a burning bush crisis

Tony Blair won his general election in 1997 by persuading us that he was Jesus. Nobody remembers what the policies were, all we dimly recall is that he got angry when people said he didn’t have any, insisted that he was not going to get into details, and promised to let us know what the policies were later. And we’re still waiting. Some of us feel a little bit let down. We still think that he was Jesus, but in a bad way. In the wishy-washy, open-toed, passive-aggressive, turn-the-other- cheek, can’t-touch-me-guv-I’m-with- The-Big-Guy way. The Messiah, but irritating.

Youth and age are no longer strictly divided

I was chatting to a bunch of twentysomethings recently about which women they admired. “I’m a big Judi Dench person,” said one. Another proclaimed a passion for Helen Mirren. There was much warm agreement. But, I protested, these dames could be your grandmas. What about — I dunno — Scarlett Johansson? Well, they liked to see what she wore. But Helen and Judi had presence, dignity, were above the celebrity fray.

Move to trial of war crimes politically motivated: Nizami

UNB, Dhaka Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Maulana Matiur Rahman Nizami yesterday said the government’s move for holding the trial of war criminals is nothing but “manifestation of its political vengeance” towards its opponents. “Those who are now talking too much about war crimes, a settled issue, are identified anti-Islamic forces of the country,” he said while addressing a meeting of the party Majlish-e-Shura at Al Falah auditorium in the morning. He went on: “Neither an FIR nor a GD could be filed against those whose names are appearing in the media with allegations of war crimes.
