Won't someone please think of the frog?
I wonder if this applies to the Green Zone Pizza Hut
Where the fuck was this guy four years ago?

Not for the rest of humanity it wasn't, OK?
Bloody hell, now he's gone and done it!
I wonder how they broke this to Ann Widdicome
Won't someone please make them stop??
At some point can't we just take their licence away?
I want to know who'll be answering the phone at 3 PM!
Let us pause for a moment...
Do you want the less bad news or the bad news?
Godless UN attempting to destroy America
I too am inspired
"Gee Jay did I forget to mention I was a POW (without a kitchen table)"
Tories accuse Labour of hate crime
Can someone please explain to me...
I say off to Gitmo with them!!
In case you haven't seen them these members-in-waiting of the master race look like this.
Why I like Pelosi's big idea!
I have a better idea. Maybe we could start with whatever brains this lot has!
Whatever you do don't mention Kosovo!
Someone should probably tell Il Papa
Meanwhile one would think that plans to make Cardinal John Newman a saint might have to be scuppered if the word gets out he was gay. Why am I reminded of J. Edgar Hoover?
Well done Hillary!
And thanks...now if we can just get those supporters of yours who are threatening to vote for woman-unfriendly John "The Aged One" McCain to get their heads out of their arse and think about what they might be doing to American and to woman-kind in general things might just be alright in the end.

At least I now understand why they're so reluctant to come out of those caves!
Today in Schadenfreude
Hallmark...
I think these people drink too much coffee.
So long to bad rubbish
Nice, eh? Well personally I think you should just fuck off then. Perhaps you can find an empty office campus in Dubai next to that company so beloved of American Vice President and evil incarnate "I'm a Big" Dick Cheney, Halliburton.
Clearly I have no sense of imagination
Key quote from Christopher Moreau who is responsible for the miraculous sighting, which he first saw after cracking a beer in his back garden: "I am not a wacko".
What's the matter with Arkansas?
Won't someone please think of the children? These folks obviously didn't.

Does this mean there won't be any oil?
Arm twisting, blackmail, bribery and extortion to follow....
And the winner is [drumroll]
(Sorry for the delay in reporting the results. Busy bank holiday what with barbies and carnivals to attend. At least I have had my annual dose of curried goat, jerk chicken, salt fish & ackee and rice and gungo peas!)

Have a nice day!
If it walks like a timetable...
Perhaps The Aged One will explain.

Given penchant for the copyright infringement lawsuit (or threat of lawsuit) can this be too good to be true?

Imagine my disappointment...

Unfortunately I somehow doubt that these 50% match up very well with the 65% of Americans who "had medical bill problems or debt, went without needed care because of cost, were uninsured for a time, or were underinsured" in 2007. If it did there wouldn't be a problem then, would there? I hope these 50% of the people are unnecessarily cluttering up hospital wards or taking up doctors time.

Wow, he is fast
Well I didn't see this coming!
The UK remains on the edge of respectability at 16th and US is mired in mid-table obscurity at 39th with 0.77 points per million. Better luck next time Yanks!

Why does the Bush family hate America?
The sooner the better I say
BREAKING NEWS
Oh, you knew that already. Well never mind then.
Jamaica widens the gap!!
18 August 2008
Jah loves Jamaica!
Following a brilliant performance at the weekend the United Kingdom have remained nearly stationary in 21st place whilst the US has fallen to 37th; behind such sporting notables as Kyrgyzstan, Zimbabwe, Armenia, Finland and Mongolia! India continues to have a lock on the first relegation place with a miserable 0.004 points per million! More later.

How do you say....
There's no other way to describe him
Kudos to the American press that the best interview in quite some time of this sniveling bastard has to come from a sportscaster!
It takes a lot to laugh...
I think it's time for a drink!

In third place at 0.650 is South Korea
Great Britian is 19th, the US a lowly 24th and China 32nd!

Well that's relief
Why does Captain Codpiece hate freedom?
Important news!
As the election draws nearer and magically, after having remained steady since the midterm elections, the terror alert level drifts up from Bert through Ernie into Elmo terror-tory there will once again be a mad rush to Home Depot to stock up on plastic sheeting, duct tape and nail guns. But no one wants to the fight the crowds even so supplies as urgent as this. What's a sensible but lazy and borderline obese citizen to do. I have the solution: SurvivorMall.com! So sit back, pop another Belgian Budweiser and click your way to safety!

Somehow I don't think that they've actually thought this through!
Praise the Lord - the petrol price crisis is over!!!
Note: to Americans this new, low price translates to roughly $8.45 a US gallon so stop fucking whinging will you.
The whole world IS watching*
An American citizen is arrested for rape and murder in Mexico. This American is denied access to American consular staff before being charged, tried and found guilty. The Mexican court sentences him or her to death. The American's attorneys exhaust their appeals in the Mexican court system and appeal to the World Court which rules that the proceedings must be reviewed and possibly voided as the denial of consular assistance is in violation of international treaties and international law. Mexico says "fuck you, your fucking treaties don't apply" and executes the American. Imagine the uproar. Imagine the outrage. Imagine the invasion!
Now open your eyes and see what happens when the words "American" and "Mexican" are reversed. It's a funny old world, innit?
*Except for America that is!
Today Yesterday in infamy
I almost forgot. Yesterday was the 63rd anniversary of the largest and worst terrorist attack in the history of humankind.

Today in word association
Our great leader tells China to end detentions and ensure freedoms. Perhaps he has got confused and he thinks that "contraction and conversion" is meant to apply to human rights and not to greenhouse gas emissions!

It may take most people six steps to get to Kevin Bacon....
It can only be a matter of time before some other equally idiotic player on the global stage finishes off the "Truth, Justice and the American Way" hidden breast trifecta!

Special Saturday unintentionally ironic headline of the day"
"Because he'll be good for the piccaninnies!"
Christ they'll say anything!!
Curiously they seem to have failed to make the same argument against the current illegitimate resident of the Oval Office.
Has anyone seen the Fourth Amendment?
America - it used to be such a nice country!

A patriotic pause
I pledge allegiance to the Surge of the United States of America
and to the Repuli-cons for which it stands
one Empire under (a white, male, narcissistic) God
indivisible with no Liberty and Justice at all.
