don’t do it hillary, it’s over

HuffPo has an article declaring the Democrat race to be over.
Oh pluuuuueeeeeaazzze let this be so! If the press manage to wrangle one more narrative twist out of this story, I swear, I’l scream and stamp my feet like a school girl. Surely now, with Obama winning so convincingly in North Carolina and Clinton just […]

defending the indefensible

Northern Rock proved that “irresponsible” lending is dangerous game for banks to play. If a bank has too many debtors who are over-extended, then it leaves itself wide open to punishment if suddenly the economic climate cools. In America, where mortgages are traded between banks and investors like coffee beans, bad debts have created a […]

did bill lose it?

According to ABC, a heated exchange between Bill Clinton and Bill Richardson (a former cabinet member in WJC’s administration) has shocked super-delegates in attendance.
Bill is declaring (to anyone who’ll listen) that “Obama cannot win”. Apparently, old Bill was “out of control”. Nice.
‘It was as if someone pulled the pin from a grenade.’

dizzy’s empty diatribe against the “anti-war left”

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 […]

hrc: “sleep-deprived”

Oh Sweet Valley High, this is pure gold.
Hillary’s excuse for her bullshit claims that she was sent to Bosnia on security matters and ran from the aeroplane under sniper fire, was that she’s tired. Or “sleep-deprived?” as she puts it. Rather makes her famous 3am ad look a bit daft now, doesn’t it?
Who do you […]

hillary! enough!

The New York Times’ David Brooks on Hillary: -
When you step back and think about it, she is amazing. She possesses the audacity of hopelessness.
Why does she go on like this? Does Clinton privately believe that Obama is so incompetent that only she can deliver the policies they both support? Is she simply selfish, and […]

highly recommended

This post from Flying Rodent comes with my SuperStarSealOfApproval™.
It’s particularly worrying that so many on the left fell over themselves to grant continents of intellectual charity to the Republicans, trusting them with the lives of 25 million people when they wouldn’t trust the Tories to run a free bar. The Republicans’ ideological lunacy makes the […]

the henry jackson society. not a bunch of radicals, really

Cassilis produces an always interesting review of the bunkum forced through the sphincter of political thinktanks. This week’s review covers those nicely dressed warmongers at the Henry Jackson Society.
HJS revisit that tired old theme of ‘radical Islam want a global caliphate / you can’t negotiate with that / boost the voice of the moderates’ - […]

centreright’s attacking hilldog

Not quite sure why CentreRight is attacking Hillary Clinton’s campaign?
It would take some effort to separate her and McCain by anything more than a gnat’s knacker on anything substantial. If Clinton has achieved anything in the last 8-years or so, it’s the knowledge that she’s the safe Centre Right candidate in this election.
Okay, she’s playing […]

ungrateful

[Canadian blowhard] Mark Steyn would like to thank the British servicemen fighting in Afghanistan.

Fuck you too. Ass-munch.

iraq

I don’t want to make this an introspective post.
It would be easy to spend the next few paragraphs explaining how I have always opposed the war. I could pat myself on the back for making the right call, and I could link back to countless posts and essays I have written that highlight just […]

irony and those americans

That Americans don’t get irony is, and always has been, a nonsense.
I think Stephen Fry best sums it up: -
Incidentally, forgive a detour here, but if there is one misapprehension about Americans that annoys me more than any other, it is the lofty claim, usually made by the most dim-witted and wit-free Britons, that America […]
