Can you say hypocritical... I knew you could

From the BBC web site


Gillian Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, has been sentenced to 15 days in prison after a day-long court hearing.



Mrs Gibbons had been accused on three counts of insulting religion, inciting hatred and showing contempt for religious beliefs.



She will be deported after serving her sentence in Sudan's capital Khartoum.




In September, Mrs Gibbons allowed her class of primary school pupils to name the teddy bea(sic) Muhammad.



The court heard that she was arrested on Sunday after another member of staff at Unity High School complained.



Sudan's top clerics had called for the full measure of
the law to be used against Mrs Gibbbons(sic) and lablled(sic) her actions part of
a Western plot against Islam.



She could have faced up to 40 lashes.


This is from a people who have killed in the name of their God innocent people by running airplanes into buildings. This from a people who claim they have no hate for Christians or Christianity. This is madness. I have a teddy bear in my office that I have not given a name yet. Hmmmmmmm.........

gOS

Not sure how many of you have heard of or even looked at the gOS but it might be worth taking a look at especially for older machines.

At work yesterday I took an older machine, about 2000/2001 in age, and installed it on it. It installed clean without any problems. It has just enough tinkering ability to make me happy, but installed as it is is good for a machine for a new user. In fact if you want to you can run it off the CD to kick the tires on it. It is basically an Ubuntu install with a set of special icons, most of which go to Google related tools, hence the name gOS.

I am writing this right now after I hit the Blogger button and firefox opened up to the Blogger site. Clean and easy.

Check it out.
