Farmville has its own Congressman.

And he’s not bad. Sadly, he was ganked by the right honourable Senator for Darkfall shortly after making this speech. Farmville has its own Congressman. is a post from: Ark's Ark Related posts:The Passion of the Bush “There ain’t no stoppin’ this train we’re on!”

Gordon Brown and the Bully Hotline

Arkenor — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:36:43 +0000

I’ve experienced both school and workplace bullying, and I have no time for people who behave in such a way. I’ve even called a supportline or two in the past. So don’t take what follows as in any way diminishing the anguish that bullying can cause. I have two points to make on the current [...]

Iranian nuke plans were forged.

Arkenor — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 23:14:05 +0000

Remember this story from a couple of weeks ago? Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has dismissed as a US forgery a document allegedly showing plans by Tehran to test a nuclear bomb trigger. In a US TV interview Mr Ahmadinejad said the report in the Times newspaper was “fundamentally not true”. He said criticism of Iran’s [...]

Connecticut for Lieberman party campaigns agains Joe Lieberman.

Arkenor — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 18:15:55 +0000

I found this remarkable. The chap in this video is Dr. John Mertens, and he really is the Chairman of the Connecticut for Lieberman party, the party Joe set up when he got beaten by Ned Lamont in the 2006 Democratic primary race, in order for him to contest (and sadly win) the election as [...]

Richard Heene – The Singing (Science) Detective

Arkenor — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 02:49:34 +0000

When not pretending to send his children off in UFO-shaped balloons or having his trousers dry-cleaned, Richard Heene likes to write theme songs for his science adventures. This one is getting slated across the internet, but I find it rather catchy. Tune into the show that’s really effective: Watch Richard Heene…. Science Detective! Unfortunately for [...]

MEP Daniel Hannan lies about the UK on US Television for money.

Arkenor — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 04:42:45 +0000

While socialised medicine is considered with great mistrust in the US, here in the UK, no political party would dare to suggest that the dear old NHS should be replaced. Unless, of course, they didn’t think anyone from Britain would notice. In this clip, UK Conservative, MEP Daniel Hannan, holds court with the crown prince [...]

Colbert Report has returned to the UK!

Arkenor — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 19:27:59 +0000

I was just about to go through my usual weekend routine of posting this weeks Colber Report clips (in order to get around the blocking of UK folks from being able to watch them), when I discovered to my joy that we can in fact watch them again. So, with mixed feelings, I won’t be [...]

Colbert Report, 15th of June – 18th of June 2009

Arkenor — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 11:22:41 +0000

Mr Stephen Colbert has returned to US soil, but his hair has remained in Iraq. The Backstory: Folks in Britain have recently been blocked from watching the Colbert Report on the official Comedy Central website. Apparently FOX has just bought the rights to show it here, and does not want us to be able to [...]

Mr Colbert spent the week in Iraq, with US troops. I’m not sure I like his new haircut though.

Coke Zero – A call for a worldwide ban.

Arkenor — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 00:34:15 +0000

Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez has banned Coke Zero, calling it “harmful to people’s well-being”, which I am assuming is a polite way of saying that it tastes like crap. I am a big consumer of colas, mostly of the sugared varieties, and especially Cherry Coke. I do, however, find Pepsi Max and Diet Coke to be [...]

Captain America on Torture.

If Captain America was interviewed by Fox News’ Sean Hannity: He’s also not big on detaining people indefinitely without trial. Luckily for him, Captain America is just about the only guy in the US who can get away with saying stuff like that without being called unamerican. Captain America on Torture. is a post from: [...]

Microsoft threatens to leave US if tax-loopholes are closed.

Steve Ballmer of Microsoft is threatening to pull out of the US, if the Obama administration moves to close tax loop-holes that are allowing multinationals to avoid paying tax.: “It makes U.S. jobs more expensive. We’re better off taking lots of people and moving them out of the U.S. as opposed to keeping them inside [...]
