Quote
of the day
"The French
are not convinced about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction - they
say they need more evidence. The last time the French wanted more evidence
it came rolling through Paris with a Nazi flag on it"
-David Letterman

Simon Roberts for this one)

Asshole judge alert
Some self-righteous
legal wankers wonder why people criticise the court system. It's because
of things
like this.

Another defector
Steve
H. of Little Tiny Lies has moved off Blogspot. Steve has promised
to deliver me lots of beer and hookers when I arrive in the USA, provided
I sent him enough traffic. So dear reader, help us both out and visit
Steve's site. Now.
Oh, visit his "real"
site Little Tiny Wit while
you're at it, he's got some seriously funny shit on there.

Steyn interview
John Hawkins has
a great interview with Mark Steyn. You should read the whole thing,
but here are my favourite parts;
On the very-dead Osama....
So if the only recorded
evidence of your identity in the last 14 months is an audio tape, that
suggests either you're dead or in too poor condition even for the most
artfully edited video appearance.
On Al-Qaeda....
Since 9/11, al-Qaeda
have been unable to pull off any kind of follow-up in a western country:
their only successes have been in more loosely policed environments,
such as Tunisia and Bali. That suggests the US was able to accomplish
a serious degradation of their infrastructure during the Afghan campaign,
and border vigilance is doing a lot of the rest.
On Europe's Israel-hatred....
The Continentals
are something else. Some just don't like Jews and resent having been
unable to express that opinion honestly these last 50 years. But with
others the psychology's a little more complicated. Almost every European
country was tainted by the Holocaust and Nazi occupation, but for the
sake of the post-war settlement the world agreed to pretend only Germany
was to blame. Not so. In France and Holland, the locals eagerly herded
Jews onto those eastbound trains. In Belgium, industrial production
went up under the Nazis. After half-a-century, the Continentals are
sick of this guilt trip. They need to see Israel as the aggressor for
their own psychological health.
There is lots, lots
more, and it's all good.

Ministry
Heard
the title track from Ministry's new CD Animositisomina last night,
and it kicked ass.
Their last effort
- Dark side of the spoon - was lazy cybermetal junk. Thankfully
(at least if the title track is any indication), they're back to writing
the fast, inventive, thundering tunes that made Psalm69 such a
legendary recording.
Welcome back lads.
We missed ya.
