The Ugly Grimaces of the Latter-day Politics

Politicians are by far best entertainers. They are also most sinister ones.

Gordon Brown, the man who last 12 years spared no time fucking up British economy till it collapsed beyond repair is dashing around saving world's economy. Now what the fuck does he have to tell the world that he should be telling his own country?

It is hard to say whether this beats Tony Blair being a special peace envoy to the Middle East though. I reckon the level of brazen-faced spit-in-the-face kick-in-the crotch gall is about the same in both cases.

Jade Goody's Legacy

Now the extreme poor taste media saga of Jade Goody's televised battle with cancer is over. She is dead, and like The Chaser sings: "Even an asshole turns into a good bloke after death." Her only legacy will be our knowledge that one can make a career based solely on a shameless display of ignorance, bad temper and racism on reality TV. Anyway, rest in peace, Jade!

The Real Law of Attraction

A weird observation: the less you care about people, the more attracted they get to you.

Gorbachev advises a perestroika to the US

America is in urgent need of its own 'perestroika', says Gorbachev. Clearly, he's aiming at fucking up another country big time.

Georgia to Barackia

Now that Barack Obama is the US President, isn't Georgia going to be renamed Barackia?

Ab Fab encounter

Never thought I would do this but here you go: today I spotted Jennifer Saunders driving home from the BBC Centre at White City. It was 5 to 5 PM, I guess she does not care for overtime! I wouldn't if I were her!

BBC and Newspeak

In the foreword to his 1984 Orwell wrote that this was not a criticism of socialism but a warning for British society. A brilliant example of latter-day Newspeak I found on the BBC website:

Taxpayer 'set to control Lloyds'. Then the articles go on how old boys at Lloyds' Banking, a private company, gambled and screwed it up huge time and their Whitehall cronies bailed them out to the tune of 260 billion pounds. Which exactly the opposite if the title, typical Newspeak.

The article goes on. According to BBC political correspondent Carole Walker , many people in Westminster think that "it would be simpler and easier for the government to nationalise the banks, and that in the long-term it would save the taxpayer a lot of money..." Now how on earth is that going to save the taxpayer any money at all?
