"Ginny McCallum, 43, who has been confined to a wheelchair... Obama... came over, grabbed her hand and pulled her up. She found herself standing for the first time in eleven years."

Linky

Oh dear.

Prepare the crown of thorns.

Sounds very staged to me.

Interesting how the media have gone overboard on Obama... I can't even name who his opponent is... it's as if the media have decided long before the election he is the next President, same as they have Cameron being the next Prime Minister.

Hardly surprising when you have one man - Murdoch - mostly pulling the strings. Whatever Murdoch wants and thinks, his papers then inflict on the public and the disturbing thing is, too many obey. So who really is in control of the world?

Its one thing to have a go at Murdoch but we all watch his programmes on the telly via Sky and have a go at the state of the reportings in the papers. Don't buy his papers and cancel the contract. Sadly it won't happen. We're all hooked!!!

Apparantly, Larknews.com is a satirical website. It might be worth remembering that when reading their stories.

I still play "Crown of Thorns" (briar) once a week...!

One of my very happy memories - it never broke but they were all really nice guys and so was their manager.

IS, I hope - he was in touch quite recently.

My brother and I were talking about them only yesterday.

Very true sadly... he has his fingers in far too many pies and though I refuse to touch his papers and will never take or watch Sky, I do use myspace... grrrr...

I don't buy Murdoch's papers and I have never subscribed to Sky. Nor do I use myspace. So he doesn't control everyone.
