True that. I was just going on about what Paisley said, that's all.

I'm an Irishman all the way brother. Don't get me wrong.

LITTLE WHITE BULL
From the film "Tommy The Toreador" (1959)
(Lionel Bart / Michael Pratt / Jimmy Bennett)
Tommy Steele - 1959

Once upon a time there was a little white bull
Very sad, because he was a little white bull
(Little white bull)

All the black bulls called him a coward
Just 'cause he was white
Only black bulls go to the bullring
Only black bulls fight

When he asked his mama if a little white bull
(Little white bull)
Ever had a chance of turning black?

His mama said, you silly little bull
You're a pretty little bull
You're my little bull
So please don't ask me why, little bull
You just ain't black!

I asked God to take away my pride, and God said, "NO!"
He said it was not for Him to take away, but for me to give up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole, and God said, "NO!"
He said, "Her spirit is whole, and her body is only temporary!"

I asked God to grant me patience, and God said, "NO!"
He said, that patience is a by-product of tribulation; it isn't granted, it's
earned!

I asked God to give me happiness, and God said, "NO!"
He said, He gives blessings; happiness is up to me!

I asked God to spare me pain, and God said, NO!
He said, "Suffering draws you apart from wordly cares, and brings you closer to
Me!"

I asked God to make my spirit grow, and God said, "NO!"
He said, I must grow on my own, but He will prune me to make me more fruitful!

I asked God if He loved me, and God said, "YES!!!"
He gave His only Son who died for me, and I will be in Heaven someday because I
believe!

I asked God to help me love others as much as He love me,
And God said, "Ahhhh, finally ~ you have the idea!"

Sinn Fein has said some of its politicians in west Tyrone have received threats,
including bullets.

It understood they were contained in packages which were left at a cemetery in
Strabane.

It is believed a local priest was then tipped off about the packages. Sinn Fein
said they do not know who was behind the threats.

In December, police reportedly warned Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams and Gerry Kelly
about dissident republican threats.

Chief Constable Sir Hugh Orde said the threats to the Sinn Fein leadership were
"very real".

Republican sources said the threats to senior party members came from
disaffected IRA members who left the organization in recent months.

My, my, my, how times have changed indeed... I can remember a time when the
very idea of "Republicans" dissident or otherwise would send death threats to
the SF leadership was simply inconceivable!

It's almost as if I have left the land of reality and entered the land of
alternative reality... Where the Unionists and SF are fighting the Loyalists
and Republicans to try to finally bring about a real peace!

Sorry to burst the paranoia bubble.
Officers of the Security Service do not have the power of arrest.

Omagh witnesses are investigated

The Police Ombudsman has launched an inquiry into the conduct of two key
Crown witnesses in the Omagh bomb case.

Forensics officer Fiona Cooper and Det Ch Insp Philip Marshall gave evidence
at the trial of Sean Hoey, the man accused of the bombing.

During the trial both admitted changing their statements on how some
evidence was gathered.

Mr Hoey, 37, of Jonesborough, County Armagh, denies 58 charges, including
the 29 murders in Omagh in August 1998.

Forensic evidence is a vital part of the case against him.

The prosecution claims that the south Armagh man made the bomb timers used
in Omagh and in a series of other attacks.

During cross-examination at Belfast Crown Court, Mr Marshall and Ms Cooper
admitted they had "beefed up" their original statements to suggest that
specialist forensic precautions had been taken at an explosives find, when
in fact, they had not.

The defence alleged this was done to strengthen the case against Mr Hoey.
