You hippy-crites! When it comes to saving the planet do celebrities
practise what they preach?
Last updated at 00:28am on 6th May 2008

Is the hot air emitted by celebrities when they spout ecological
platitudes a greenhouse gas?

If so, then the melting of the polar ice caps just moved a step
closer, following calls by Trudie Styler, a leading celebrity
ecological hypocrite - call them hippy-crites for short - for the
general public to eat more locally grown vegetables.

Campaigning against food miles might seem an unlikely cause for
Styler, given that a tribunal last year heard how she ordered her
personal chef to travel over 100 miles to make a bowl of pasta for her
youngest child and has sold olive oil and honey from her Tuscan
estate, Il Palagio, 1,000 or so miles away, in Harrods in London.

Sting and Trudie Styler: Together they have a questionable
environmental record

X-No-Archive: yes

A FIVE-year-old boy rescued his terrified family after finding them tied
up and huddled in a bedroom following a violent home invasion.

The boy was woken by cries for help from his 17-year-old brother and
parents at their family home in the semi-rural area of Plumpton,
north-west of Melbourne.

He found his pistol-whipped father George Mamo, 45, his mother, 40, and
brother tied up in the front bedroom.

They had been attacked by masked bandits carrying pistols about 1am
yesterday.

Police say the men, believed to be in their 20s, jumped a high fence and
entered the house through an unlocked back door.

They forced the teenager into his parents' room and demanded to know
where they would find the family's safe.

A SEARCH for three people missing in north Queensland bush without food
or water will resume at first light today.

Queensland Police said they had suspended the air and land search for an
elderly Japanese couple and a Cairns man missing in rugged bushland
outside of Cairns after the vehicle they were travelling in took a wrong
turn up a dirt track.

Officers on the ground and a police helicopter yesterday searched a 20km
radius of the remote Mount Garnet area for the Japanese couple aged in
their 80s and the 68-year-old Cairns man.

They said the Cairns man called triple 0 on his mobile phone about
4.30pm (AEST) yesterday when he had intermittent network coverage.

The trio set off from Cairns on a day trip to Chillagoe but took a wrong
turn up a dirt track.

Up to 10,000 feared dead in Burma cyclone
Richard Lloyd Parry, Asia Editor

Burma’s isolated and xenophobic generals appealed for international help
yesterday after a catastrophic cyclone killed at least 10,000 people and
made hundreds of thousands homeless in the country’s agricultural heartland.

United Nations agencies were preparing last night to fly in emergency
food, shelter and medical supplies to prevent epidemics and starvation
inflicting a second disaster on the survivors of Cyclone Nargis, which
ripped across Burma on Saturday at 120mph (193km/h), destroying
buildings and fields, toppling trees and washing away roads in the city
of Rangoon and the Irrawaddy delta.

Despite a long-standing suspicion of foreign aid agencies, the Burmese
Foreign Minister indicated that his Government would accept aid.

“According to the latest information, more than 10,000 people were
killed,” Nyan Win said, after meeting foreign diplomats. “We will
welcome help . . . from other countries because our people are in
difficulty.”

PHOENIX (Reuters) - John McCain reached out to Hispanic voters on Monday
as he sought to win over a constituency that has moved away from his
Republican Party but could prove key in swing states in a close U.S.
presidential election in November.

The Arizona senator's campaign launched a Spanish language Web site to
mark the Mexican Cinco de Mayo festival and McCain told reporters that
"everything about our Hispanic voters is tailor-made to the Republican
message."

Michael Moore: Americans Pay More Taxes Than French, Most of Europe
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0804/30/lkl.01.html
[
MOORE: You were asking me a serious question. I'm sorry. Actually, you know what
I would do is I would get -- I would try to lower Americans' taxes to the rate
that the French pay. The French pay less taxes than we do, less.

KING: Socialist country?

MOORE: That's right, most of Europe pays less than we do. That's not the way
we're told in this country. We're told, oh, they pay all these horrible taxes;
40 percent of their income goes to income taxes. Actually, the French federal
income tax is around 10 percent. That 10 percent covers everything, the road,
the cops, the military.

What they do is they have these other taxes. Here's your tax for your health
care. Here's your tax for education. Here's your tax -- it's listed on your
payroll stub, where it pays for these things.

KING: What's the total?

I have lived in Massachusetts since I was 21 years old. New England is
a pleasant place to live in some ways, but the politics are awful
here- It is becoming a toxic mix of increasingly left-wing politics,
with sky-high taxes and a strong predjudice against religion and guns
( At least in Southern New England, In NH,VT, and Maine they like
their firearms). People here are surprisingly insular and blinkered in
their perceptions- I live in the Boston area, but I have a Western
Mass accent, and people tell me that I have a southern accent. In
Western MA, they have basically the upstate New York accent that
sounds midwestern (i.e. they pronounce their r's).
