Oh dear. Someone’s trying to be clever again.
Now far be it from me to suggest that this article is the biggest load of fucking idiocy Dizzy has ever posted (I know, that would be quite a stretch), but I do think it may be in with a shot.
Poor old Dizzy has decided to attack that […]
Snowflake has written an excellent analysis of why she thinks a Vietnam veteran can never become president.
The following post was written for Liberal Conspiracy.
Running Mates are often seen as crucial to a nominee’s chances of winning a general election. George W. Bush, as we know, chose the vastly experienced Dick Cheney as his running mate in 2000, an appointment which has seen the hawkish, Nebraska-born former congressman from Wyoming, become arguably […]
Tomorrow is Rememberence Sunday, so whatever your opinion on the validity of war, it’s time to stop and think about the sacrifices so many of our predecessors made (and the sacrifices military families continue to make).
Caroline Smailes is a very talented writer. She has posted a very sweet and personal post about her grandfather. A […]
Quick. I haven’t got long.
Have you read Simon Jenkins’ Op-Ed in today’s Sunday Times?
Jenkins’ - normally - really bugs me, but this is a very well thought-out piece and is very close to my thoughts on the relationship between the West and Islam.

The always read-worthy Gracchii discusses the 9/11 myth-makers: -
To put it in context on September 11th 2001, an unjustified, unwarrented attack was carried out on American soil. Osama Bin Laden and his allies were and are mass murderers who veil their murders behind the shield of a religious extremist obsession. His lordship considers […]

The BBC radio programme, Document, this week discloses details relating to a planned coup in the US by rightwing businessmen (NB. audio probably only available until Monday). One of whom was Prescott Bush, grandfather of the current President, George W. Bush.

Readers of a certain vintage will remember with a warm heart the early days of home computing. The days of the Speccie, the CPC 464, and the Commodore 64; Homebrew, Zzap 64, and Cauldron.
Why not wander down memory lane with this great animation (via: B3ta)?
*Yeah, I know, some of these devices had 64k :o)

septicisle has a great post on the mawkish media obsession with Princess Diana: -
Princess Diana is dead, just in case you’d forgotten. She’s been dead for close to ten years. In life, she was chased by newspapers trying to sell their sordid wares. In death, she’s chased by newspapers trying to sell their sordid wares. […]
I have just read Nick Cohen’s piece from Sunday’s Observer.
Nick is predictably using his column to continue to plug his new book attack the left for their temerity to oppose the ‘disastrous war’ in Iraq - the one Nick himself supported.
Yet, in fairness, Cohen does make some valid points. We do suffer […]
In light of this online petition, I thought I’d share Garry Younge’s article from today’s Guardian newspaper: -
Individual acts of terrorism will always put the left on the back foot. Not because the left holds a sneaking sympathy for terrorists, but because it is so busy explaining the context of their acts and protesting against […]
I have just finished catching up on the news from the first Republican ‘08 presidential nominee debate (yeah, I have been that busy – and you thought blogging was about instant reactions to the breaking news. Shows how wrong you can be, doesn’t it?). The debate was held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential […]
Hmmmm, not good.
