Mini-interview with Charlotte Church today in the Metro. She was the ‘voice of an angel’ classical singer from about 10 years ago. She’s Welsh and had a bit of a pop career a couple of years ago. Anyway, the topic is On President Bush: He came around to thank all the performers who appeared at [...]

See, it’s not so harsh to require migrants speak English
Interesting op-ed piece in the Guardian today about a Pakistani woman whose mother never learned English. The British government has been discussing requiring all new migrants to learn English prior to being allowed in the country. Most liberals would decry this as discriminatory and right-wing but this lady says that, actually, it is a good thing [...]
How redneck can one get?
What do you know? I found something to write about. Hard to ignore this little piece of heaven. I reiterate my previous statement that some people are not fit to be parents.

My favourite (of so many) bits Forget rainy April or snowblown February – early September is the very worst time of year, for one simple [...]
I don’t like strippers, get over it.
