I have some ideas to write about a "promising" young politician from here who was sent to the EU parliament by accident. It's a pretty funny story actually.

Here we go (http://talk-politics.livejournal.com/1868528.html).

Why does Die Grünen use the Lámh Dhearg Uladh as a logo?

[telemann.livejournal.com]

Do you have an example? I looked around, and it seemed most images used a Sunflower as a logo; or for regional parties in Germany, they cleverly used the state's coat of arms as a flower petal on the larger Sunflower.

ETA: Whoopsie! You meant the woman with the red hand in the OP. Yeah, that's an interesting photograph. I'm curious as well for an explanation and the history behind that too.

That is Agnes Malczak, right? It sure looks like her. Not that the Bloody Hand of O'Neill is particularly controversial these days.

Will have to investigate.

"Bai Yitong"

Gotta love those Chinese names. :)

I am reminded of the Chinese menu item, "Cream of Sum Yong Gai."

I would like to see a posting on Elizabeth A. Johnson. She is no spring chicken, but compared to the fossils at the Vatican who seek to stifle her, she is a rising young star.

Is she competent about neural wave machines?

[sophia-sadek.livejournal.com]

Johnson is a scholar on issues relating to the Jesus cult. I seriously doubt that she has any exposure to brain/machine interface technology. However, she might be more sympathetic with positive applications of neural wave technology than the narrow minded "scientists" who have yet to transcend the domain of the synaptic cleft. There is an analogy between the fossils in the Vatican and the fossils in the neurochemistry profession. Both cling to medieval frameworks that are better off left to the worms of the intellectual boneyard.
