A relatively modern image of Medusa painted by Arnold BöcklinIn Greek mythology, Medusa (Greek: Μέδουσα), was a monstrous female character whose gaze could turn people to stone.

Some classical references describe her as one of three Gorgon sisters. Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale were monsters with brass hands, sharp fangs and hair of living, venomous snakes. The Gorgons and their other sisters the Graeae (and possibly the Hesperides) were daughters of Phorcys and Ceto.

In the most well known version of the myth, Medusa originally started out as a beautiful human. She was raped by Poseidon in Athena's temple. Poseidon was an arch-rival of Athena's since at one time he vied for patronage of Athens; the soon-to-become Athenians chose Athena's offering of the olive tree over Poseidon's offering of horses or a spring of water.


Perseus beheads MedusaUpon discovery of the desecration of her temple, Athena changed Medusa's form to match that of her sister Gorgons as punishment. Medusa's hair turned into snakes and her glance would turn all living creatures to stone. She was banished beyond the Hyperborean lands.

DESIDERATA:

From Hyperborean lands the Medusa has landed on the PWTC Stage.

If you have to ask what does Desi mean by the preceding sentence,
you art now sentenced to read aaall of Deesi's postings on UMNO and the Anuuall General Assembly.


Suffice to say, these UMNO creatures want to turn thinking Malaysians into stones.
No ear, no eye, no mouth -- No hear, no see, no say!

Perhaps they had MCA and MIC (plus 11 or 12 others less significant) sleeping partners for to long.

PM accepts NST’s apology, considers issue closed

KEPALA BATAS: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has accepted the New Straits Times’ (NST) front-page apology over a cartoon it published last Monday.

Abdullah said no action would be taken against the newspaper following its open apology yesterday.

“The NST has conceded to the Government's decision and I take it that they are very regretful over the issue,” he said after opening a seminar for teachers at Pusat Budi Penyayang here yesterday.

“The issue is considered settled,” he said, adding that the cartoon was not connected to the offensive Danish caricatures of Prophet Muhammad.

On Wednesday, the NST was issued a show cause letter by the Internal Security Ministry for publishing the cartoon.

On RTM's Feb 3 screening of the Danish caricatures of Prophet Muhammad, Abdullah said: “I have heard about it, but let me get full details first.”

It was reported that TV2’s 8pm Mandarin news aired a news clip that showed close-ups of the caricatures.

Abdullah said government action against those who published the Danish caricatures was reported nationwide.

“The editors know. After being given messages and reminders, this should not have happened.”

The Government recently suspended Sarawak Tribune for publishing the Danish caricatures of the Prophet. It also took firm action against Guang Ming's afternoon edition for printing a photograph of people reading a newspaper with the caricatures.

In Kuala Lumpur, Information Minister Datuk Zainuddin Maidin said RTM would give its full cooperation in investigation into the Feb 3 incident and ensure it did not recur.

“What happened has given us a better realisation of press freedom with social responsibility,” he said.

Zainuddin described the NST's apology as a good response, saying he welcomed Abdullah's statement that the matter is resolved.

Meanwhile, about 500 PAS and Keadilan supporters protested outside the NST office in Jalan Riong against the publication of the Feb 20 cartoon. The group had marched from Jalan Tandok after Friday prayers.

More than 150 policemen were stationed at the office since noon. PAS vice-president Husam Musa, its Youth leader Salahuddin Ayub and Keadilan Youth vice-chief Shamsul Iskandar later handed over a memorandum of protest to NST's senior marketing manager Wan Abdillah Wan Nawawi. (EMPHASIS as bolded is all Desi's, Desi's alone, not NST, not Star, not Sarawak TRibune, not TV3, not RTM, all off Desiderata-YLchong's hands on this knotty computer on a hot Saturday late afternoon about 5PM in FuRong after a Mooney Session...:)
PS: about the mooney session tomorrow, Patience, Yes?

NOW, perhaps you get the central idea that Howsy flagged off and Desi continues to thread, from a few days back since the Non Sequitur cartoon episode.
Or my ER hears echoes of They Shoot The Messegener, Don't They?
episodes in Wat? BolehLand?
No-lah, it's more like Alice in Wonderland.


See how the majority of the Players, Protagonists highlighted in the news report were never targeted?
They cuntveniently shifted the action to Screenshots, conveyed via an "unattributed" news report -- so "unprofessional" and totally "irresponsible", in my mind, and can Desiderata claim to be a journo olde dog of 30 years, qualified yes? -- aptly put by the Blog-owner Jeff: "This story breaks the cardinal rule of good journalism.
There is no source attributable to a reliable spokesperson."Welcome to the latest Sandy Goes to War----ah? episode.
Steal more to come, mayhaps.

Did I quote the following nursery rhyme jest less than a day ago?

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again!

From Google Search I extracted the explanation:
Humpty Dumpty was a powerful cannon during the English Civil War (1642-49). It was mounted on top of the St. Mary's at the Wall Church in Colchester defending the city against siege in the summer of 1648. (Although Colchester was a Parliamentarian stronghold, it was captured by the Royalists who held it for 11 weeks.) The church tower was hit by the enemy and the top of the tower was blown off, sending "Humpty" tumbling to the ground. Naturally the King's men* tried to mend him but in vain.
* The "men" would have been infantry, and "horses" the cavalry troops.
