chili peppers in her bedroom
I purposely didn't congratulate Natalie Glebova on becoming "Ms Universe" - despite her being Canadian - because, well, who cares. Sure, women (and everyone else) should do whatever they want, but can't women think of anything better to do than parade around a stage, to be judged based on their appearance and - oy - poise?

"Big Oil" appears to have won. The latest plan, obtained by Newsnight from the US State Department was, we learned, drafted with the help of American oil industry consultants. Insiders told Newsnight that planning began "within weeks" of Bush's first taking office in 2001, long before the September 11th...

ReplyDeleteWow... you're getting full force spam lately.
ReplyDeleteTurning off anonymous doesn't work. The spam comes as registered users as well.
ReplyDeleteI think it always goes on the latest post though. Maybe you could make a decoy spam collector post each time you make a real post.
Make it stop!!!! Too much spam!
ReplyDeleteThe spam comes as registered users as well.

ReplyDeleteI dunno, Red-girl seems so appropriate for some reason. ;)
Especially because Red is the colour of Liberals up here... Funny our socialists (NDP) took orange.

ReplyDeleteYeah, pink would have been more appropriate.

ReplyDeleteG, sometimes you confuse the hell outta me. :)
Ray?
As if I wasn't confused enough by Texas...
Sure. Say Ray with a fake Texas accent, and it comes out "Rye". At least it does on Dallas.
