This video has personal significance for me as I would spend off duty hours at a exploring disused military facility when I first saw this video. The facility’s corridors reminded me of the ones in the vid.

Caberet Voltaire–Sensoria
The Strawbs – Heavy Disguise
This song reminds me of the Double Locks pub on the Exeter Canal (or some other pub) on a Summer day even though it is probably more likely about Speakers’ Corner.
I married a Deadhead (From White Rabbit)
What did the one Deadhead say to the Other when they ran out of drugs? Man, this band sucks.
And Lenny Bruce wondered why they called it French…
Well, after innocent postcards which have taken on a whole new meaning–we now have the former French Justice Minister and current European MP Rachida Dati making the comment in a recent Canal+ interview that: When I see some of them looking for returns of 20 or 25 percent, at a time when fellatio is close [...]
My new contributor
Well, I couldn’t add this “persona” to the list of contributors, but: he’s FAT WHITE BASTARD This is stupid motherfucker who is too stupid to realise he is a complete fuckwit. He is being propagandised, but is too dim to know it prefering a 30-120 minute long commercial on the Discovery channels, History Channel, etcetera [...]
Is sixty the new thirty? (via Sally Newall)
This makes me feel so good! Although, I do have to admit to wanting to find the elixir of life (philosopher’s stone) and sharing it with my loved ones. I had a sad realisation the other day: my parents, who both turned 60 this year, are physically fitter than me. I run, I go to [...]
Yanks with guns!
White Rabbit had this vid on Manchester PCSOs (police community support officers – abbreviated to CSO) who appear to be walts of this stripe. Anyway, the Comment about CSOs trained to carry firearms: “Not on my watch” caused me to think of the US gun rights crowd and Captain Sensible’s “Yanks with Guns” (“shooting people [...]
Neat website
Changingminds.org which describes itself as: the largest site in the world on all aspects of how we change what others think, believe, feel and do. There are already around 5000 pages here, all free and with much more to come! I particularly like argument And propaganda A defining quality of perfect propaganda is that it [...]
The real menace
Seriously, I am really annoyed with cyclists who don’t follow the rules of the road. Nigel Havers rails at selfish cyclists who “see normal rules about red lights, pavements and one-way streets are treated as a matter of supreme indifference by this new army of Lycra-clad maniacs, whose every action demonstrates their contempt for pedestrians [...]
Koch Industries, Cato Institute and Corporate Responsibility
I was curious about this and decided to look up Koch Industries so see if they were public (shareholder owned) or a private corporation. Per Koch industries own site: Koch Industries, Inc. is a privately held company based in Wichita, Kan It also seems that Koch is run according to the principle of Market-Based Management, [...]
Solution to the Problem in the Holy Land
It’s not Palestine It’s not Israel It’s the Holy Land. Why? Because it is sacred to three religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Somehow, this point has been forgotten in the name of Zionism, or creating a homeland for the Jews. Although, savvy Jews know that since the diaspora began whenever Jews were rounded up signifies [...]
Dispatches: The Killing Zone
Channel 4 UK report on Israeli violence in Gaza against not only Palestinian civilians, but international aid volunteers and foreign reporters as well. Since September 2000, some 2,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli Defence Forces, who routinely use F16 fighter jets, helicopter gunships and tanks to bomb and shell densely populated Palestinian residential [...]
If he had a gun…
Since he couldn’t get Barry to beat him up, he could have capped their arses rather than write this song.
Right wing madness
No, not metaphoric madness, but serious insanity from the US right wing. I’ve always felt as if I were dealing with people who were in an alternate reality when I deal with gun loons, zionists (pro-Israel folks), and others from the US right wing. The Man with the Muckrake took one of my comments in [...]
I have to agree with White Rabbit
Personally, I’ve been far more concerned with the Gaza Situation than I have with the Cumbrian shootings. Unfortunately, the Israel lobby in the US has as much, if not more power, than the gun lobby does. Enough power so that the USS Liberty has been an open secret. Military commanders can condemn US support for [...]
