He's gonna take a lot of shit for being the one to say it, but Australia's Foreign Secretary Mr. Downer (what an unfortunate name) is right when he says that the Phillippine's withdrawal of military personnel in reaction to the taking and threatening of hostages, has and will, spark more hostages to be taken.
A true comic genius has passed away today. One of the first comedy albums I remember listening to as a child is "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart." His most famous shtick was the telephone conversation where the audience hears only his end of the call. The most famous and best of this is the " Introducing Tobacco to Civilization " skit.
