 In this edition of Shire Network News, Tom Paine interviews Bruce Bawer, the Oslo-based US author of "While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within" and Surrender: Appeasing Islam, Sacrificing Freedom about his experiences as a gay man in what he thought would be a more tolerant European society, and what happened when he ran into radical Islam on the streets of Amsterdam one night.

Doug Payton laments the way celebrity culture is warping out culture, but lays the blame squarely on you, the viewer!

Meryl Yourish is scathing about the media's double standard over Sarah Palin.

In blog news, Barack Obama decides the struggle of the people of Iran to be free of the tyrannical mullahs can be best be helped by the United States standing quietly to one side and just watching, British authorities refuse to identify prison escapers because that might infringe their right to privacy, and the Church of England still doesn't grasp it's facing its own demise within 30 years.

We also have a special Shire Network News salute to Canada, and we heartily endorse the assertion that the final letter of the alphabet is pronounced "Zed", not "Zee".

"The Incident", haha, that was awesome. By the way, Cobie Smulders I get, but Sarah Chalke? She's a "meh" at best.

At any rate, good show, Tom, and an excellent interview as well. Doug's segment was also great. and Meryl - that description of Palin actually made me think of the villainous female president from Prison Break. Since I didn't really like that show and gave up on it after the second season, I don't remember the character's name and I can't be bothered to look it up, so I refer to her as Madame Evil. I think Palin is the American Left's Madame Evil, at least in their warped thinking.

Thanks for your comment, Yannai. You didn't just compliment my segment because you didn't like MJ's music, did you? :)

It promises to be interesting! I love to read books. I usually find them at the book search engine and if I see that the book is worth reading then I buy it. Nothing can substitude a real book. There are so many book nowadays and it is very difficult to choose an interesting one. That is why your podcsts are of great help to me.
