On the plague of Nazi raccoons: Sweden is bracing for an amphibious assault by a considerable force of raccoon dogs and raccoons, poised to cross the Öresund strait which separates the country from neighbouring Denmark. Urgent report on a Tory toff: Cameron is a typical baby-eating Tory bastard who worships the market on ideological grounds and has [...]

Cherie sent me a piece by an American Patriot and at first sight I was sceptical about the alleged nefariousness, on the grounds that parts of it weren’t corroborated. Didn’t make them wrong but dangerous to just assume, no matter how many anomalies there are to Obama. On this one Cherie sent, basically the man [...]

Back then, we returned milk bottles, soft drink bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled. But we didn’t have the green thing back in our [...]

This post was a labour of love and is dedicated to Crickett Carlisle, Rossa, Ubermouth and to any other redheads I know and no doubt am about to find out I failed to mention them. ………. Now look, I ask you – we can discuss Obama and the Frankfurt School, Marcuse, Cameron or Red Ed [...]

Obama takes charge: US President Barack Obama warned the US east coast was in for a “long 72 hours” as he led his government’s response to Hurricane Irene at a disaster command center in Washington. Obama on Saturday chaired a meeting at the National Response Coordination Center (NRCC) set up at the Federal Emergency Management [...]

A man after my own heart on this matter, CIngram reflects on dinner parties: One of the many things I have never understood is why people invite other people to dinner. I like good food, but I don’t think of eating it as a great recreational experience. I prefer not to prolong it. And to [...]

The left-liberal motto is that we should all just happily: … in the dystopia they’ve bequeathed us. And it’s outrageous to call Harman and her entourage, haggard: You can place your trust in organizations like: What do you think is the single most important:

Always dishonesty, hyperbole and camps, rather than working cooperatively towards solutions. That’s because of the huge amounts of money involved. In a bitter report on CERN: Long-anticipated results of the CLOUD experiment at CERN in Geneva appear in tomorrow’s issue of the journal Nature (25 August). The Director General of CERN stirred controversy last month, [...]

Most bloggers do similar but it’s something I did a lot of in the early years, then gave it away. Maybe it’s time to begin again: On the looters: One of them was quite badly beaten, in full view of the police, who took the failed looter away when the local people were finished with [...]

Glittering Eye: Over the period of the last several years the term “balance sheet recession” has come increasingly into vogue until not only is it the prevailing wisdom that the recession of 2007-2009 was in fact a “balance sheet recession” but any attempt to call that into doubt is met with considerable derision. “Balance sheet [...]

Haaretz ran the post below: Ahmadinejad: Iran is determined to eradicate Israel Iranian president says those who are for humanity should also be for eradicating Israel, since the ‘Zionist regime is a symbol of suppression and discrimination.’ The interesting thing to me was not so much the ravings of that man determined to shore up [...]

Some of you will remember this one: Woman arrested for exposing corruption, another for defending the pledge … concerning the town of Quartzsite and how this sort of thing appears to be rampant in the U.S.. Well, there is now further information available. Quartzsite, Arizona, the town now infamous for arresting a citizen for speaking [...]

We all have our bêtes noires – some have the smoking ban, some alcohol pricing, some the EU, some Them and some a mix of many of these. One of mine has been feminism and what it’s done to women and in recent days, that’s become more and more to the front of the mind, [...]

On this wet Bank Holiday weekend, naturally, I’ve come down with the dreaded lurgy and am pretty well out of it for the foreseeable. I’ve put up a post about LA and there were already a Wimmin on Bicycles and Dearieme scheduled for late afternoon/evening. There’ll be one other post if I can get it [...]

If you get a red-light-camera citation in Los Angeles, Calif., you can tear it up. Really. The City Council committee that oversees the traffic enforcement cameras recommended that the city stop sending the citations, and “phase out” the cameras. While someone — even a collection agency — might call on the phone and say “pay [...]

Over at Orphans now: I’ve put this question before about the rockets and all I got in reply was how oppressed the Palestinians are.
