Nothing to see here

You will have noticed ... shall we say 'light' posting here lately, as a gang of armed deadlines took me out back in the alley, roughed me up and threw me in the dumpster. This process expected to be repeated for the next week or so, after which I shall have a lovely holiday and recuperate my shattered nerves. In the meantime:

The loonies at the BBC have devised a series on the afterlives of Enid Blyton characters: George speaks! (And I cannot recommend Radio 7 too highly - they have the Goon Show too!)

Michael Phelps has only been dumped by Kellogg's, and you can join the Kellogg's boycott in return. Smarmy gits.

And just for the heck of it, those links you know you want but are ashamed to bookmark:

for all your US political needs

and to calm your shattered nerves after.

Expect a triumphant return at the end of February, with fresh new snark, tall tales of this 'California' they speak of, and long-awaited deep thoughts on Michael Ignatieff. In the mean time, talk amongst yourselves...
