Put A Sock In It!

For the Socceroos to beat Uruguay in point scoring, capturing them a place in the World Cup, was victory in itself, enabling them entry into the World Cup...the first time since 1974. Yesterday's 3-1 win against Japanese was sweet manna from Heaven, particularly after the word game leading up to the match. Cahill proved his brilliance with his two goals, the first of which coming in the final six minutes, soon to be followed by another and then, just to prove a point, another goal scored by an artful Aloisi...signed, sealed and delivered! Ahh! Yes...the Aussie spirit shines brightly in the hearts of the Socceroos.

Put Another Sock In It!

After a 25 months' jail term, militant Islamic cleric, Abu Bakar Bashir...is about to walk free! The same can't be said for the families, loved ones and friends of the victims of the Bali bombings...they'll never be free from the heartache and the loss caused by despicable acts of terrorism. We're expected to 'respect' the laws of another nation...was any respect shown to the innocents who were slaughtered without a second thought?

Sock It To 'em, Dubya!
