Judge not lest ye be judged…

Remember Pastor Ted Haggard? If you watched Richard Dawkins’ polemical C4 documentary, ‘The Root of All Evil?’ you certainly will – he was the rather intimidatory fundamentalist preacher who accosted Dawkins in the car park of his church and accused him of calling his ‘flock’ animals. He’s also […]

Mad Mel 2- The Search for Sanity

Sucker for punishment that I am, it seems you’ll be getting not one but two Mad Mel posts in the single day as scanning the RSS feeds yields up not one but three nicely weighted dissections of the Daily Mail’s own Fifth Horsewoman of the Apocalypse from Chris […]

The house of delusions is cheap to build but drafty to live in…

As its Friday, I thought I take one of my semi-regular trips into the wilderness of journalistic insanity and pop over to Mad Mel’s to catch-up with her latest batch of apolcalyptic ravings – quite how her husband, the eminiently sensible Joshua Rozenburg, puts up with her is […]

Burning the flag doesn’t make freedom go away, it’s kinda like Free-dom ok?

Does anyone know whether idiocy is a transmissable illness, because it seems to be catching in a big way in some circles. Flag-burning law plan criticised Human rights groups have opposed a plan by police chiefs to make flag-burning by protesters a new criminal offence. No-o-o-o Shit! The […]

There are times that one has to question the very sanity of some of our leading politicians, never mind their judgment and common sense, and today would appear to be one of them; as evidence by this official press release that appeared on the Labour Party website in […]

A horse designed by a committee…

There is a maxim, thought to have originated either with Sir Alec Issigonis, the designer of the Mini, or in the July 1958 issue of Vogue, which holds that ‘a camel is a horse designed by a committee’. The meaning of that maxim should be clear to anyone […]

The pack slumbered and only a few watchdogs rattled their chains…

And finally, the story of two (allegedly) former BNP members caught with bomb-making equipment two weeks ago starts to make the national press… sort of… At the time of writing, ITV news has the story in a sideblock on its main news page, while leading with John Reid’s […]

So sang the blithe reporter-man…
