I can’t get no satisfaction

January 05th, 2006 | Category: Amusements, Music

The Rolling Stones are too old to have watched one of their recent concerts in the United States. How crazy is that? Mick J. and even wrinkly Keith Richards have more zest than half a dozen drear-merchants than Coldplay or Radiohead put together.

Kennedy wobbles…

January 05th, 2006 | Category: Growing Old Disgracefully, UK Politics

Charles Kennedy is under pressure again; now the rumblings are getting louder (11 Shadow Cabinet members have signed a letter). I wonder if the Lib-Dems will enjoy Growing Old Disgracefully’s Whisky & Westminster.

It is not specifically about Charles but if the shoe fits…

Update: Charlie is going to make a statement. News 24 is reporting it is about his boozing and treatement for alcholism.

Breaking News: He has called a leadership contest; which he will participate in. Guess he is hoping to get the sympathy vote after his AA style “confession”.

The Telegraph leader is suitably biting.

A bit of fun: What do you lot suggest Kennedy use as his election theme song? A Thorogood track mb?

Oh yeah, one more thing, type “drunken failure” into Google and hit Search.

Whilst they celebrate the tragedy of the one individual who did more than anyone to pave the way to Palestinian independence (total contribution of their Arab brothers, zero), they should reflect on whether they really expect such benign treatment from any future leader of Israel.

Kiltgate

January 05th, 2006 | Category: Political Correctness, Politics

Murray updates us on Kiltgate and the news is not good. The school board is defending the racist/anti-Scot behaviour of the school administrators. A bit of good news thought; over 12k people have signed the petition and the young man has been given a full kilt for his clan.

I Only Read It For The Bumps

brailleYesterday was Louis Braille’s birthday, and Google reworked its logo to commemorate the date:





As did Playboy:

Actually Playboy didn’t, but that’s an authentic braille copy, fron November 1995. It was apparently being auctioned off on eBay (before eBay got the jitters and removed the listing).

It’s just one of the many fine offerings of the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, a division of the Library of Congress.

Your eyes deserving

January 05th, 2006 | Category: Blog gos

Carnival o’ the Dogs, BOMS and Britblogger are first out of the gate this week; as per normal. Storyblogging Carnival is a bit light this week but there are five entries.

Someone, who I understand is rather nasty , and I have never heard of, has gotten himself an anti-site.

Oh and John has another list…this one is about last year’s worst liberals (ie socialists).

The Carnival of Vanities begins its new phase over at its over-seer Harshy Mellow.

In the case of the Bonfire its same shit; different year.
