This is the latest official advert from the leaders of the Republican party. Really. : Since you’re asking, why yes, I do feel safer. I feel safer because I believe the new President will actually consider reality before he makes decisions, and I feel safer because I do not think that he will use violence as his favoured method of dealing with the world’s issues. His willingness to talk to people who disagree with him, and to consider their […] Blimey, we’re up to date for pretty much the first time ever. My favourite bit this week was when Mr Colbert had the Decemberists on. I love me some electrofolk. […] This could get interesting.

One of my favourite Madrigals, “Now is the Month of Maying.” […] As a pinko socialist commie I don’t think anyone is worth this much, but it is especially irritating in a government owned company. The “extraordinary” £1m-a-year salary for the head of a government-owned company set up to combat developing world poverty has been attacked by MPs. The salary of CDC Group chief executive Richard Laing rose from £383,000 in 2003 to £970,000 in 2007, the Commons Public Accounts committee found.
