Easter Sunday Halloween Shots Czech Republic Style

Posted on 10 April 2009 by Denis Campbell | Comments (0) | Tags: Czech Republic, Easter, Genever, Netherlands, Russia, Soviet, Vodka, Wales

 
I broadcast a jesting Tweet on social media program Twitter this week about the origins of Easter Eggs. It read: “Easter the day Jesus rose from the dead, what should we do? “How ‘bout Eggs?!” what’s that have to do with Jesus? “Alright we’ll hide them…”
Harmless, mindless fun taking a sideways look (and swipe) at [...]

OMG He’s Here… LOL

London is all a Twitter as President Obama arrived here three hours ago, walked to the base of the Air Force One staircase then levitated across the tarmac to the amazement of startled onlookers, his red cape flowing beneath his 50,000 watt smile.
OK, I mean the BBC providing a live feed was a bit much [...]

The Radioactive City Convention Hall

Posted on 14 August 2008 by Denis Campbell | Comments (1) | Tags: 1 in 5, 80 lies in the first 36 pages, Broward County Florida, Bush, Bush/Cheney, Cheney, Chuck Hagel from Nebraska, clinton, democrats, Denver, Dr. John Corsi, eight Republican US Senators, Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina, Georgia, Gordon Smith of Oregon, John Kerry, Kansas City, Kansas side, key foreign policy advisor, Larry Craig of Idaho, lobbyed by the government of Georgia, Maine’s Susan Collins, McCain, meddling, MediaMatters.org, Minneapolis, Missouri, not attending their party’s convention, not understanding the conflict, politics of destruction, President Saakashvili, Radioactive Convention Hall, Randy Scheunemann, Republican, Republican Convention, Rocky Mountain high, Russia, Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas, skip the festivities, smear book, St. Paul, support of US troops, Swift Boat, Ted Stevens of Arkansas, UN Security Council, Wayne Allard of Colorado, Welcome to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International A, Welcome to Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airpo

While the Democrats have planned a Rocky Mountain high for Denver (that is if the Clinton’s stop thinking everything is always about them and come back to the reality of planet earth), those heading to the Republican convention in Minneapolis (or is it St. Paul?) have been jumping ship like proverbial rats.
Senator Pat Roberts of [...]

Orange Fades to Black

What a terrible way to end a stellar international career. Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, retired from international football on the losing end of a 3-1 score despite singlehandedly keeping Holland in the match against Russia with stunning saves and exhorting his colleagues to wake up and play! Alas it was to no avail [...]

This weekend begins the quadrennial festival of European football (soccer) as 16-nations battle for the right to hold aloft the European Cup. It all begins at 18:00 on Saturday when hosts Switzerland take on the mighty Czech Republic in what we can only hope will be a close game as this competition will, unfortunately, be [...]

Posted on 01 May 2008 by Denis Campbell | Comments (0) | Tags: Alexander Litvinenko, Champion's League, charter flights, Chelsea, diplomatic row, dissident, English football, government, hotel, KGB, Liverpool, London, Moscow, Russia, tickets, visas

What a night.
Chelsea stunned Liverpool in extra time with two goals to win their place in the Champions League Cup finale and the night before Manchester United’s amazing 25-metre screamer by Paul Scholes into the top right hand corner of the net early in the first half was enough after 90 nail biting minutes to [...]

About The UKProgressive

UK Progressive began during the 2008 US Presidential Campaign. It replaced two blogs: "Outside the Boundaries" (dedicated to US/UK Politics and Business) and "Fire the Guru!" an expose of charlatans in the Mind Body Spirit business. It was briefly known as The Vadimus Post from the Latin 'Quo Vadimus' or 'Where Are We Headed?'

We publish from a 19th century hilltop farmhouse in Monknash on the South Wales Glamorgan Heritage Coast. US-journalist Denis Campbell, based in The Netherlands and UK for 12-years is the publisher/editor. You can follow his live news feed on Facebook.com (Denis Campbell) and Twitter @UKProgressive.

The opinions expressed here are those of each contributor and do not represent the opinion of UK Progressive, our advertisers, sponsors, any related companies and/or their affiliates.

UK Progressive is a free service. I cringe every time I hear a pbs, truthout or npr never-ending appeal for money. They make much more than we do. We're not your mother, we'll skip the guilt trip.
