So the Guardian asks for Brookes/horse-related jokes and puns: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/mar/02/horsegate-best-jokes-david-cameron?commentpage=last#end-of-comments I weighed in with the comment I made earlier in this thread: If the horse is found to have whispered information to her...

It's a tough call. Heseltine's was too divisive and non-conformist to be taken to heart by the Tories. I think the electorate would have loved him, though, much like they love Boris. Voters like rebels more than politicians.

Cheers man. Pretty happy with it. Hopefully they'll have me again. Feel free to wade into the comments and defend/demolish me... There are a few hissy comments but hopefully the editors don't take too much notice of them.

PLUG ALERT! This is me writing: http://www.salon.com/2012/03/01/long_hair_the_final_political_frontier/

Leatherface and Michael Myers wear scary masks. Hannibal Lecter on the trolley, hissing at the congresswoman, is also creepy.

I have made a Guardian comments profile just so I could vent spleen about this. But after posting my comment, I quickly realised why I don't do this sort of thing. Even on the Guardian, you are communicating with idiots, as this response to my initial comment identifies (my original comment is...

Allow me to cross-pollinate from the Lynch thread again. I just saw Lost Highway last night, and that freaked me right out. The scene where the vampire guy comes up to Bill Pullman and tells him he's in his house right now, that's freaky. And the jail scenes are creepy as hell. And Robert Loggia...

And the Guardian gets in on the act, with an op-ed column that starts with the assertion that Romney won Michigan: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/feb/29/romney-no-moderate-republicans-electability

Turns out Romney didn't win Michigan after all. He tied with Santorum, so they get equal delegates. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/mar/01/romney-santorum-half-michigan-delegates When are Americans going to learn to stop announcing election results before they're through counting?! It's...

Eraserhead is the only film I have stopped watching because it was scaring me too much. Still haven't seen past half way, two viewings in.

I don't buy the fact that it's a fake. Otherwise, they would have come up with a much scarier ending. Surely!

His son isn't half the principled politician he is though. After riding the wave of Tea Party activism into the Senate, he has since folded over the toilet paper and begun wiping his ass on the other side, keen to be buttered up by the GOP establishment. From running a campaign that basically...

Rees's right-hand man, Sid Fillery, a former Met police detective, was jailed for possessing child pornography. There's a story the Sun would love: TABLOID HAS PAEDO ON THE PAYROLL. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/3211821.stm He now runs a pub in Norfolk. Sure sounds like a lovely place...

The whole thing reads like a crime novel. Even Nick Davies couldn't resist dipping into his Raymond Chandler books as inspiration for this summary: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/mar/11/jonathan-rees-private-investigator-tabloid

Of course moral equivalence is a good thing. It's saying that when America unlawfully invades a country, that's no different from another country doing it to America. It's about America's actions not being excused or downplayed just because it's America committing them.

Certainly not. Somebody is going to shoot him.

Just when you thought mad old Uncle Ron was drifting back into obscurity: Bam! He comes out with the best political ad since Lee Atwater was throwing bombs at his boss's rivals: The fact that a GOP contender dares to compare US troops abroad to a Chinese communist invading force is pretty...

I find it remarkable how the Sun's Hillsborough coverage is the only incident that has ever led to a significant boycott of a newspaper in this country, and it was basically to do with football. That tells you a lot about Sun readers' priorities. Until it slurs white van man's football...

If the horse whispers something to her, does paying for its upkeep count as bribing a policeman? We're on shaky legal grounds here.

Does anyone here want to pull a stunt with me? I want to hire some billboard space outside News International and paste one of the Sun's Tough Justice/Prison Works headlines on there. Or hire a van and offer porridge to NI hacks as they go to work, to get them ready for jail food.
