Cthulhu’s minions exposed

December 04th, 2003 | Category: Andrew's Cthulhu tales

H.P. Lovecraft’s dancing, blind, idiot god — Azathoth — walks upon the face of the Earth. His minions are bubble-headed Soccer Moms, Armchair Generals with subliminated libidos and assorted other nutcases. His avatar is George W. Bush. They give him blood sacrifice upon the plains of Babylon. I’m not a religious man in any orthodox sense. Thus, I find it odd to notice this, but at times I feel a certain weird kinship with Old Testament prophets such as Jeremiah. ‘Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.’ — Jeremiah 1:19” (12/03/03)

Telemachus sends me information about the fact that the Jewish conspiracy is actually a part of the Cthulhu conspiracy. It all makes sense; no wonder Allah hates Cthulhu so much.

Pray tell, is this rudeness?!

Countering the myths on Al-Jazeera and Al-Alam, one blog post at a time!

How sad that the general world served only by “big media” gets nothing but distortions, untruths, and blatant political proselytising. “AYS” and his fellow bloggers from the heart of Iraq are giving us the real news. They even take the time to track down stories and and shred the chaff, dross, and garbage being spewed forth by those who would blatantly mislead the world.

Despite the obvious inherent limitations, this radio call-in in Iran and America is very encouraging.

Whilst dissent and dissatisfaction are growing with the regime which is still beholden to the fundamentalist ulema, freedom of speech and the right not to fear goverment recriminations still seem to have been left out of Khatami’s liberalising program. He is constrained from above (and Above), but is it not time that, in light of this swelling sentiment, the US turned its eyes to help out what was once a friend, and one which, as the country with the greatest potential for democracy in the region (obviously excluding Israel, which has been since always) has been teetering on the brink of exciting things for some years now?

Bad, bad, so bad

December 04th, 2003 | Category: Literature

The ‘most dreaded literary prize’ has been won by Wendy Perriam for a description of pin-striped sex in her novel Tread Softly.

The annual Literary Review Bad Sex prize is awarded to the worst description of sex in a contemporary novel. This year’s winner includes the lines “Weirdly, he was clad in pin-stripes at the same time as being naked. Pin-stripes were erotic, the uniform of fathers, two-dimensional fathers. Even Mr Hughes’s penis had a seductive pin-striped foreskin.”

I’d get that checked out, if I were him.

The competition this year was apparently, uh, stiff, but my vote would go to:

Happy Christmas!

Subject: Happy Christmas!

December 1st TO: ALL EMPLOYEES
I’m happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd at Luigi’s Open Pit Barbecue. There will be lots of spiked eggnog and a small band playing traditional carols … feel free to sing along. And don’t be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus to light the Christmas tree! Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over £10.

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Patty Lewis Human Resources Director

Great name, great blog

The Permissive Society is a new blog and Master P gets it in the shorts in two posts. Should be good stuff, especially since the author is a self-confessed libertine.
