This week's show comes to you, not from London, and not even from our emergency backup studio in Australia. No, Shire
Network News this week is hosted by Meryl Yourish in Richmond VA!
The feature interview is a continuation of the discussion from last week with retired Green Beret Lt Col Gordon Cucullu, who is worried about the increasing cultural gap between
western military forces and the civillian population.
This week Meryl backs up CAMERA's catching out of the BBC in yet another blatant lie about Israel, and wonders if their public
admissions about their attitudes towards Jews might have something to do with that.
The Organisation of the Islamic Conference says it's going to sue anyone who criticises Islam by suggesting they're over
sensitive to criticism. Hey, we don't make this stuff up, we just report it.
Barak Obama's pastor,
the one whose sermons he apparently managed not to hear for, oh, the last 20 years, has his views on race and history
dissected.
Rolling Stone magazine's incisive, hard-hitting,
take-no prisoners reputation for solid old-school political reportage is further enhanced with a cover showing Barak Obama
wreathed in a halo of light. There was no angelic choir in the background, but I guess you're supposed to just imagine
that bit.
We hear from SNN contributor Tomer Israeli in Jerusalem about what it's like living in a country where a sizable proportion
of the citizens want to kill you.
Hollywood entertainer and conservative convert-from-leftism Evan Sayet comments on what it means now that playwright David Mamet has seen the light.
And for the latest Barak Obama Hopeful Change news, go watch this video on You Tube. It won't leave you unchanged. We hope.
For those of you interested in secret trials behind closed doors, it turns out you don't have to visit some third world
hell-hole to find one. Mark Steyn and MacLeans magazine are trying to make a star chamber proceeding in Canada open to the
press, and you can help. For details, click here.

This week we talk to Nick Cohen, Guardian writer and now the author of
What's Left: How Liberals Lost Their Way . He talks to Tom Paine
about how he's been using his journalism in the UK to try to convince the Left not to drink the "Bush is Hitler and America is
the re-born Roman Empire" kool-aid.
You can find more information about the tunnels alongside the Temple Mount's Western Wall here: and make it a goal of your life to visit one day.
In Blog News this week we talk first about the terror plots in Britain. Not much point linking, the world is awash with news
of this.
Both PMW (who brought us the original Farfour video) and Memri have the final moments of his life. Sick stuff. You can find
links and the video in our earlier post.
Israellycool Dave has the
great background work on the CNN weather. Other blogs may have given credit to LGF, but Dave brought it to the blogosphere
first.
Meryl Yourish is telling us about
the immigration bill.
Tomer Israeli is back this week and apologising to the BBC.

In this week's edition of Shire Network News, we speak to Venezuelan blogger Daniel Duquenal about Hugo Chavez and the way he's
killing democracy while the global left stand on the sidelines applauding.
Podcast wonders what's worse for Venezuela- Socialismo or Muerte - or Chavez #92
However, as those of you you who saw the Joss Wheedon movie Serenity will know, Chavez can close down all the opposition TV
stations he wants, but you can't stop the signal. A website protesting at Hugo Chavez's crushing of dissent "Free
RCTV" is now
available with video clips, news and a petition to sign. And you can read more about the anti-Chavista resistance at
Harry's Place.
And our thanks for those links goes to our friend in the underground, "Nighthawk". This is London calling Nighthawk. The
package has been received, Stand by for further instructions.
Chavez's Bolivarian "Socialismo O Muerte" revolution gets the Doug Payton treatment in "Consider This", and Israeli Tomer in
"Push the Button" slags off Israel. Criticism of the Jewish homeland on SNN, home of the last unreconstructed
red-in-tooth-and-claw neoconservatives in captivity? Strange but true.
In Blog News, the US and Iran hold talks, I feel safer already, don't you?
A British Foriegn Office diplomat thinks the Air France hijacking that led to the Entebbe raid was ... you guessed it, a
Zionist conspiracy. It was reported on the BBC, so it's gotta to be true, innit?
And Australia apologises to an Indonesian politician suspected of
involvement of the murder of Australian citizens, for having the temerity to want to ask him one or two questions about the
event. Naughty kuffar, extra jizya for you this month!
While Meryl Yourish's "On Second Thought" is not on SNN this week, you don't have to wait until the next show for your
dose of her humour. Run, do not walk, the the Michelle Malkin affilliated site "Hot Air" for a video of outtakes from the latest set of
bone chilling Al Qaeda threats, delivered by Adam Gadhan, who is clearly looking to the comic books of his childhood for
inspiration now he's in the supervillain business. In his dreams perhaps.
And now you can stay in touch with the inside gossip from behind the scenes here at SNN, including upcoming guests, arguments
over whose turn it is to send in contributions, and pathetic whining about why Glenn Reynolds even link to us, let alone give
us an interview, at the new Shire Network News group on Facebook.
Shire Network News is back after a two-week hiatus, raring to go and firing on all cylinders. "Tom Paine" in Melbourne sits
in for Brian of London at the anchor desk, due to a family bereavement. Brian should be back next week.
The feature interview this week is with filmmaker Evan Coyne Maloney, whose documentary, "Indoctrinate U" , examines the extent of political bias in American higher education.
We have a commentary from Laurence Simon on the death of Jerry Falwell (he's not a big fan), Doug Payton tells us which Palestinian mouse is
the leader of the gang that slays for you and me, and controversial commentator Tomer Israeli congratulates Serbia and
utterly ruins a minutes silence for the Nakba. Splendid.
In Blog News, Senator Hillary Clinton, she of the changing political positions, hairstyles and even
accents, appeals to visitors to he website to vote on what her campaign song should be. The temptation proves too
overwhelming for Tom.
The Palestinian civil war continues in the
Gaza Strip. Meh.
The World Wide Fund for Nature says the
planet has five years left to avert climate
change catastrophe. Once again, meh.
John Bolton is interviewed about Iraq on the BBC.
The results are...as you might expect. They may have the blood hosed off the walls by the end of the weekend, but those
carpets are going to have to be replaced entirely.
A Gitmo detainee alleges "mental torture" by
evil AkeriKKKan guards due to...er... unscented soap and balls that are
not fully inflated. Oh the humanity!

Laurence Simon is currently brandishing his spear and shield on this very topic at his blog...
There's been an absence of support from conservative/right-wing bloggers and podcasters out there for Shire Network
News, with most of them engaging in the usual mutual-admiration society circle-jerk around a certain falling star of a hub
site named after bedwear.
It's time to fight for survival.
Y'all know how much to promote stuff, but I'm ready to flood the zone of IMs, emails, Twitter, Jaiku, Digg, and other
networks to get this son of a bitch out there in the open.
And y'all need to be a part of that, or this thing is going to be the best damn podcast nobody's ever heard, and it's
going to ultimately podfade from lack of support.
We will recruit Reynolds. We will recruit Malkin. We will recruit Hawkins. We will recruit Althouse. We will recruit
Graham. We will recruit Moxie. (Howard Dean scream)
We will recruit them all and take the hill with mightiness unseen since the rise of the Mighty Mighty
Bosstones!
Survival is at stake. Greatness and glory, or an untimely and unjust demise.
ARE YOU WITH ME, SPARTA?????????????????????
Er...well, quite. So go and do what he says, okay? You don't want Lair coming after you, trust me. SNN is the premier
center-right political podcast in the English speaking world, we've been around for two years now, but the big bloggers seem
to to realise we exist. Help us change their minds, okay?

Live from a hidden location in Zimbabwe comes this week's interview with The Zimbabwean Pundit whose blog can
