Some things you just can't make up

Polly Toynbee remains clueless and emotes Only the UN can save us. No humor intended, apparently.

Mickey D also demonstrates his infirm grasp of the clues with Dukakis says Kerry would bring Truman-like style to White House.

And then there's this year's candidate for a major disaster - Another bombing in Athens as Greeks explode over alert:
Another small bomb exploded in Athens outside a bank yesterday as Revolutionary Struggle, the group that has claimed responsibility for the May 5 bombings, warned Western tourists to stay away from Greece.

The Prime Minister, John Howard, headed off increasing criticism from Greek authorities and the International Olympic Committee for the Government's recent heightened travel alert.

"Our responsibility is the safety of the Australian travelling public and we will issue travel bulletins and warnings based on security assessments and they won't be influenced by anybody, including the International Olympic Committee," Mr Howard told ABC radio.

Athens organising committee president Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki said yesterday: "It is unfair. Greece has 12 million visitors every year who return home with happy memories of wonderful hospitality."
Yeah, real warm - as long as you don't show the American flag.
