Dear Senator McCain

Now that the Alaskan investigation into the (missing) ethics of your running mate Sarah "Ramb-ette" Palin has concluded that she violated Alaskan law and I can only assume that you will respond to my previous challenge by doing the honest thing and resigning from your candidacy; right?
And don't even think about point to your own "in depth" and undoubtedly unbiased investigation into the matter. None of us, including you I presume, actually take that seriously!

More joy in Mudville

A man can still live and dream as the Phighting Phils take game two from the dreaded Dodgers. Six more wins....

I would just like to say...

...that it is an absolutely lovely autumn day here in the Kentish countryside and I'm off to a pub with a garden.

There IS joy in Mudville

Now only seven wins from a parade!

In which I announce....

....that I'm going to have to burn my Flyers sweater if Ed Snider goes ahead with his plans and allows Ramb-ette to drop the first puck on opening night.

Middle eastern religious extremists run riot...

...after man is spotted driving a car on a holy day! Once again these dangerous and unbalance religious extremists are Jewish! The rioters cause "extensive damage" to property. Well no one has ever accused Israel of multi-culturalism.

If you think things are bad in the Western world...

...it could be worse you could be in Zimbabwe where the annual inflation rate hit 231,000,000% in July; up sharply from a mere 11,200,000% in June.

Would this be a good time to privatise Social Security?

In a word "NO" as news reaches us that retirement accounts have lost $2,000,000,000,000 over the past 5 quarters.

Today in Schadenfreude

There must be wing nut heads exploding all across America today as a federal judge orders Captain Codpiece and his evil minions to release 17 evil doers completely innocent men from the Guantánamo Bay Beach and Leisure Club. And not just release them either; release them INTO AMERICA where they will be able to wreak their innocence on unsuspecting loyal Americans. The worst of the worst indeed.

I suggest that they be given government housing somewhere in the heart of America; I think Crawford Texas would fit the bill admirably.

Today in Schadenfreude

Swift boater and habitual liar Jerome Corsi has been deported from Kenya for failing to have the visas required for promoting his most recent slime.

Kenya moves back up my list of places I'd like to holiday!

Don't worry your $700,000,000,000 is in safe hands...

...because if you can't trust a former executive of a company that couldn't make it as an investment bank with your money, who the hell can you trust?

In which I prove the existence of God...

...or at least Jesus and Mo do. I hope it makes you smile; it worked for me!

No Child Left Behind - Florida style

Some schools in Florida are counting the time it takes their students to walk to lunch against the state's requirement for two and half hours of physical exercise each week. I suspect this won't help the state reduce their overall level of obesity from 23%. Of course, once the kids get to lunch they can stuff themselves full of their favourite vegetable: ketchup!

Stop making sense....

...apparently the First Amendment does provide a Pennsylvania high school kid with the right to wear a T shirt promoting gun violence; thank heavens. Expect Donald Miller III and his exemplary parents to be back with a suit based on the Second Amendment!

1,000 reasons John McCain shouldn't be President

Number 92: he believes in income redistribution; unfortunately in the wrong direction. A McCain aide has admitted that the Aged One plans cuts in Medicare and, obscenely, Medicaid to fund his loser of a health care plan. You have been warned.

Well this is rich from someone whose husband is a traitor (at least to "America firsters")!!

Idiot queen Sarah Palin is accusing Senator Obama of "palling around with terrorists" over the tenuous connection between the Senator and former member of the Weather Underground William Ayers. Given that Ms. Palin's husband hated America so much he wanted Alaska to leave it this takes rather a great deal of chutzpah.

Religious zealots on the loose in the Middle East!

And they stand accused of beating a woman for "consorting" with men, burning down a shop that sells MP4 players lest they be used to download pornography and stoning a woman for wearing a red blouse.

Oh, did I forget to tell you? They're God loving Jews!

So, which history will repeat itself?

Having clinically finished off Milwaukee the Phighting Phils have made it to the National League Championship Series to meet their nemesis of the 1970's, the LA Dodgers. We lost to them twice in '77 and '78 only to get our revenge a quarter of a century ago in that glorious year of 1983. The back to back losses in the seventies were made worse by the fact that I often used to drink in a bar run by Tommy Lasorda's brothers; who were not bashful about gloating.

OK - I finally got around to watching the debate...

...and if I hear that bloody woman say the word "also" one more bloody time my head is going to explode. On a more serious note given that no one expected anything of her she almost delivered!

"How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways."

Republi-dent Senator Holy Joe Lieberman opines that passing the "bail out" is important because it will help John McCain! Whatever happened to country first?

"So, how they bitin''?"

A man in Tokyo has been arrested for using fishing tackle to steal a pair of women's knickers off of washing line. A subsequent search of Akira Hino's turned up a further 500 pairs of lovely, frilly pants. Well everyone should have a hobby.

Does this mean I'm on the "no fly list" now?

Nutcake Turkish creationist Adnan Oktar, who has offered a trillion dollars he doesn't have to anyone who can "prove" evolution to his satisfaction, a feat that is undoubtedly impossible, has now linked Darwinists to terrorism because Muslims couldn't possibly do these things!

Darwin akbar!!!!

Oh dear!

Ramb-ette and her husband have released their tax returns for the past two years and, low and behold, they are just a typical American working class family with an income of around $200,000 last year with a net worth of around $1,000,000; just like you an me! It also appears that there may be some income missing and yet, ah shucks, she just doesn't seem like the sort to cheat on her taxes...

The good news is that she'll still get a tax cut from President Obama.

IF he did it

Well it looks like former American footballer and B list actor O. J. Simpson is finally going down for something. Of course it was an all white jury so undoubtedly he is a victim of racial oppression.

I almost missed it!

Today is the final day of the American Library Association's Banned Book Week.

Sarah Palin - eliltist!

Why did she insist on using such high faluting language when ignoring the questions she was being asked and speaking directly to the American people on Thursday?

1,000 reasons John McCain shouldn't be President

Number 91: he promised a return to civility in politics and, boy, has he failed to deliver as almost all of his ad spend is devoted to attack and negative ads. Nice one John.

Even The Guardian has noticed...

...that Bill-o O'Reilly has lost his mind.



Having watched this again I am starting to wonder if Bill-o didn't lose a bit of money on Fanny Mae and her brother....

The dream lives on!!!!

The Phighting Phils have won again. Someone better pinch me; I think I'm dreaming.

Can't somebody please stop the voices in his head?

Hey, what do you know? Pat Robertson is still alive. And the voices in his head are still telling him things! I'm just off out to buy some duct tape then.
