I’ve been considering writing this post for a long time, ever since Trump won the election back in November. Repeatedly since then, China has been making moves and decisions that I can’t help but applaud. Somewhat, at least…even as I watch proceedings with a growing sense of doom. I was inspired to finally try and…
Law! Indeed! Trump! The first full service president! Place to stay. Food. Chinese manufactured clothing and jewelry. Central Park brand corkscrews (trust me, a Trump brand). Wine from the Trump vineyard in Virginia (where they employ off-shore workers). And, had he not run his airline into bankruptcy, ‘Fly Trump!’ Also coming soon to a monopoly…
Dignitaries will arrive in Washington and Trump will ask, Are you staying in town? At my hotel? I know an excellent steakhouse nearby. It’s the greatest. It’s beautiful. Trump, throughout his life and career, has tried to embody and encompass all things American. Trump University, an ode to Rockefeller, to Duke, the steaks, an…
The late, great Leonard Cohen wrote, on the topic of the second world war in America, “Here we grew up with toy whips. Early warning against our future leaders, the war babies.” Obama’s farewell speech, which was truly American in all it’s open, heartfelt honesty, created a stir in those that look, terrified, into the glowing…
Jeremy Corbyn was slammed by the media this week for suggesting a maximum wage cap. Corbyn always seems to be on the wrong end of the media. “He’s totally nuts,” everyone says. “What an idiot,” they say. “Bless him,” they sigh. And they’re right. HOW DARE HE SUGGEST SUCH A LUDICROUS IDEA. HOW DARE HE…
FOR A MAN WITH NO FINGERS, TIME IS IMMEASURABLE. Time with a capital T. Time in italics. Time, whispers the dealer to the school-child. It’s the eighth of January, the Christmas tree has gone, it’s raining and foggy outside, I’m stood waiting for the bus and I wonder if anyone else has ever waited for…
Frog with orange hair sat in the tub by the window. Stop watching me. You will only make me blush. Frog with orange hair do not make me blush. I become gas clouds behind sun. Frog with orange hair watch me turn around. I can’t face you. I will only make you blush.
Or so says Jill Stein and a group of academics that have, for the last week, been looking into voting irregularities in the swing states Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, (these were, amazingly, states that were “intended” for Clinton.) In the another twist in the election tale Stein started a fundraiser to cover the costs of…
That’s right, tape over your webcam like Zuckerberg does, because the government is on to you, and if it’s not the government, then it’s a greeb in his mum’s basement watching you bash one off to the new Miley Cyrus video. Mrs. “Un-elected” May has just pushed through the most savage surveillance bill in the…
Credit to my pal Sam Garner for “the elected meme.” Donald Trump’s campaign was fuelled by a large group of pseudo-activists, whose picket line was not on the street, but on Facebook, reddit, Twitter and any other social media outlet you care to come up with. It is, as the Guardian has so nicely wrapped…
