Summers says she did as she was told.
“I honestly thought he was a police officer and what I was doing was the right thing,” said Summers. “I thought I was doing what I was supposed to be doing.”
I’ve had Sky News on in the background for more than an hour now while I was reading, and then surfing. Nothing but the story on the police officer shot in Bradford. Of course this is a tragedy, but isn’t this level of coverage a little over done considering they don’t actually have anything at all to say, apart from the fact that two female officers were shot, one injured in hospital, the other dead.
Sometimes things are just so horrific you have to back away from the very thought. I mean, we all know that the Eurovision is car-crash tv. We all know the songs...
I was shocked to read this article in today’s Irish Times. I mean, television viewers making sense! What’s that all about? A shocking and horrifying new development if you ask me.

Went to the library today with one aim in mind. To pick up a copy of The Year 1000 by Lacey and Dannziger. I’d looked up the call number and everything...
Isn’t this a scary looking banner? I mean, first of all “Homeland Security” is so 1984 it really isn’t funny, and the whole thing looks like something out of Starship Troopers[1]...
I haven’t commented at all on Hurricane Katrina. I guess part of the reason is a sort of disbelief. Not that the weather can be that destructive, but that it happened in the US. The idea that an entire American city could be destroyed is almost unbelievable. We are sort of used to it in less developed countries, but, somehow you kind of figure that the world’s only superpower would be able to deal with anything.
Another lesson that we don’t take nature all that seriously.
