Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground


Just the bang
And the clatter
As an angel
Hits the ground
 
Happy Birthday Ali

41. It's no secret, we all know she was almost as old as Bono. They were teen sweethearts and in school together. Everybody knows she's not 29, no big deal.
 
happy burfday Ali!!!!

Here, we have a man who claims professes to enjoy flower arranging, has no qualms over donning a skirt at any given time and, now we learn, prefers to use the ladies' restroom. And yet somehow he manages to embody all that is masculine and sexy. I don't know how he does it. " ~Hallelujah Here She Comes, about Adam
 
Yesh happy birthday, Ali

Lucky duck, you.

BONO: You're only being nice because you wish you were her.

MONA: No! No, I --

BONO: Come on....

MONA: No. Seriously. She's a strong woman. I--

BONO: ....is this about us having a corral of children?

MONA: Em....

ok before I dig myself in a scandal pit, I'll just post this pic:

You know -- I used to be the same way with my parents when I was little. They'd wanna go somewhere alone together, and I'd always want to tag along.

I feel yer pain, Edge. Oh.....he looks like he's enjoying himself, actually.

BONO: She always rambles like this when she's nervous......

MONA: Goo. Happy b~Day and MANY MANY MORE to Bono's Sweetest Thing

I thought she and Bono were the same age? I'd only heard anything about her age once, so it could be wrong....

Is it just me, or does she look like she's barely aged in those photographs? She is too blessed!

She actually turns 42 so she's the same age as Bono except for a few months.

But who can tell?

Happy birthday Ali!!

Wishes you great weather (I know, a swedish thing), lots of presents (maybe a husband around

) and a tasty cake all for yourself.

Well it's only a few months difference. That qualifies as the same age to me.


I was just wondering if I had the wrong info, cuz if they are the same age, she would be 42 now, right? Not that it really matters
smile.gif
she's awesome no matter what!

Happy Birthday Ali-a beautiful, amazing woman.

I like this article about her new campaign-and what she says about Bono.

March 24, 2002
From The Irish Times:


If Ali Hewson fails to stir the natives with her postcard campaign, then Sir Bernard Ingham
ought to do it for her.

Sellafield is a problem of perception, born of ignorance, prejudice and hysteria, Margaret
Thatcher's former spinner told RTE yesterday. Radioactivity is "not the great killer people
try to make out"; so far "only" 45 deaths and about 2000 thyroid cancers have been directly
attributed to Chernobyl.

And the postcard campaign? "Futile."

Campaign leader Ali Hewson shrugs: "I'm sanguine enough to know that this campaign won't
shut Sellafield down tomorrow." The objective is to make the three targets stop and think
about the risks versus the economics.

So Norman Askew, CEO of British Nuclear Fuels, is challenged to "tell us the truth". Prince
Charles, environmentalist and sometime Irish tourist, will see a radioactive shamrock with the
rhetorical question, "Wish you were here?" And the British Prime Minister, gets the direct,
nice-guy-next-door, treatment: "Tony, look me in the eye and tell me I'm safe..."

The Tony card will be sent free to all households, to be signed and sent off (post free thanks
to An Post) by April 19th. The hope is however, that everyone will also pay up for the other
two - available at a euro each from post offices, banks, supermarkets and the web at www.shutsellafield.com - and send them off as well. Four million are being printed and once
An Post has gathered them all, they will be delivered en masse on April 26th, the 16th
anniversary of Chernobyl.

The beauty of the campaign, says Hewson, is its simplicity.

"It's a two-pronged approach. The first is that you voice your concern and send the card. The
second is that proceeds go to the Chernobyl Children's Project".

There are reasons for concern, 38 of which are described by British Nuclear Fuels Limited, the
company that runs Sellafield, as "nuclear accidents at British nuclear installations" and occurred
between January, 1997 and June, 2000.

And thanks to the Observer, we know that in January, 2001, 2,000 tonnes of high-level nuclear
waste almost exploded after Sellafield staff had ignored alarms for two and a half hours.

"Those 21 tanks of waste contain huge quantities of the most hazardous materials on the
nuclear site, if not the planet", said John Large, a nuclear engineer.

Yesterday, the Minister for Social Welfare, Dermot Ahern, coolly reminded Bernard Ingham
that BNFL admits, inter alia, that it "has no answer" to the possibility of an air strike into
Sellafield, although such an attack would unleash 100 times the radioactivity of Chernobyl.

This is what puts the grit into Ali Hewson's soul and forces her out of her natural reserve.
She has been tilting at the nuclear industry since her first child was born nearly 13 years ago.
She now has four, the youngest aged 10 only months.

For much of the time, she's a single mother. What she calls Bono's "day job" allied to his Drop
the Debt campaigning are "all consuming", she says. One minute, George Bush is announcing
a $5 billion hike in US aid, with Bono by his side; the next, the US Treasury Secretary, Paul
O'Neill, is telling us that he and and same Bono are off on an 11-day trip to Africa.

So Bono is on a roll, but, she says deliberately, the anti- nuclear gig is hers.

"Bono is completely supportive but this is my project... Though we do have a joke at home
that the reason I'm so comfortable with Chernobyl and Sellafield is because I married a
nuclear reactor..."
