First Broadcast October 23, 2005<\/strong>: In this week\u2019s edition of Shire Network News<\/a>, the official podcast of Silent Running, Laurence Simon<\/a> goes violently ape on New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin\u2019s arse. Sorry, ass. The reason? Sports. What else is going to really get Americans worked up? A natural disaster? Oh please\u2026Our Man in London <\/a>continues to taunt us with tales of teenage totty among the Tories, and our feature interview is with blogger Tex, of Whacking Day<\/a>, about how to use the F-bomb to maximum effect, and strategic use of photos of the dead Che Guevara to drive lefties crazy. Ok, even crazier than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also in the program, confusion to the French as we celebrate the battle of Trafalgar<\/a>; how easy it is to contract a case of Conservative Obsessive Compulsive Disorder by reading NRO<\/a>, Pro-Life Blogs <\/a>and Info-Theory<\/a>, all of which seem to believe that the Harriet Miers nomination to the US Supreme Court is the most important event since the cooling of the earth\u2019s crust, assuming you aren\u2019t one of those who believe the universe was created over a week only six thousand years ago or something; the Spectator gets medieveal <\/a>on New Zealand\u2019s arse; political blogs start calling the shots <\/a>in the Ohio Senate race; how would Daily Kos <\/a>fare if it were based in Tehran, where pissing off the mullahs by blogging <\/a>can get you thirty lashes; \u201cSouth Park\u201d lampoons the media, who seem curiously reluctant to talk about their Hurricane Katrina performance now that the actual facts are emerging; and the Guardian get to keep using words like \u201cmilitant\u201d, \u201cinsurgent\u201d and \u201cactivist\u201d after one of their reporters gets handed back by kidnappers who realise he\u2019s worth more to them alive than dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
