Just tell your mom that you don’t want dust mites. Awesome.

New way to comment
For my loyal readers who comment, you may notice a slight difference. You will now have to enter two skewed words into a box before you click submit. If you’ve ever ordered tickets from Ticketmaster you’ll recognise it. I’ve been inundated with spam this week and this is a way to stop it because a [...]
I thought of this too
In my MA dissertation I compared not only the theoretical reasons that the current ‘war on terror’ is similar to and possibly will be the Cold War for the 21st century but also the operational and functional similarities. One of these is the secrecy and guilt by association McCarthy-esque branding of terrorists and terrorist organisations. Someone from the [...]
I thought of it first
I noticed this headline on a Guardian comment is free post today: If our political parties did not exist, would we ever need to invent them? I thought of it first you know! Well, sort of. I didn’t quite address the same heavy topics on Poland and Italy’s recent political party additions but I did have [...]
Our boy Mike strikes again
I nearly fell out of my chair when I read this blog post today about former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. Oh…my…word. He is blaming illegal immigration on abortion. Apparently because we heathen women have been able to abort babies in the last thirty years, there has been a gap created in the workforce that illegal immigrants [...]
How the hell is this art?!
A man walking around in a bear costume night-after-night alone in a Berlin museum. Give me a break. See Dom Joly of Trigger Happy TV’s response here.
Wallinger’s only piece of work here, the 2004-5 video Sleeper, is tremendous. It is also crazy: why would a grown man dress up in an unconvincing bear suit and spend [...]
Bunny suicides
I noticed this on Guardian online today. I find it hysterical. Cartoons of cute little bunnies killing themselves in humourous ways. Anyone looking for Christmas ideas for me, I think this book might be an option. It’s just too funny. It’s somehow cute while being slightly disturbing. That’s always a good combination.
Second time in three months
The Morning News of Northwest Arkansas obviously needs a refresher course on noun-verb agreement with the word ‘police.’ They seem to think of it solely as a singular noun rather than both plural and singular. First I noted Police Is Looking For Suspects In Kidnapping Case, now it’s Police Investigates Infant Death. Perhaps someone should write [...]
Just one more thing
You’ve got to love Fox news. They really are so ‘fair and balanced’ with comments like this
Greg Gutfeld, recording the visit to the US of the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said: “So the foul-smelling fruitbat Ahmadinejad spoke at that crackhouse known as Columbia University today.”
If only everyone was as tolerant and open-minded as Fox News [...]
Two little tidbits for you
One: Nanner, nanner, nanner President Bush and all the lame Congressmen and women who voted for the Patriot Act. That vile piece of legislation aimed at ‘protecting’ our country when in reality it’s only hurting our civil liberties is useless!!!! Why? Because there are no terrorists in America. The song from An American Tail springs [...]
