This should disturb us – it certainly scares TheEye. It shows you how effective the indoctrination of Armerican children has been over the last few decades. Don’t forget the radical students of 1969 are the tenured Ivy League professors and lecturers of 2009. Only 53% of American adults believe capitalism […]

Why do we tolerate this sort of nonsense? Why do we put up with it? Why can’t we get these people up close and personal with rope and lampposts? Diana Angel left out a sack of rubbish with a plastic plant pot and a broken dustpan and brush only to […]

TheEye is unsure of the tack for this story. Whilst wanting keenly to assemble politicians, lampposts and hemp-based material in the same place at the same time, and deploring huge (legally and contractually due) bonuses going to bankers, these things go too far sometimes. Remembering the chaos at Davos a […]

Although the Spectator has gone downhill of late, it is still worth a read, and TheEye gets a regular copy. Although part of a larger article about Jade Goody, this slightly off topic paragraph stood out. “What the author of Nineteen Eighty-Four could never have predicted is that the citizens […]

From the always-odd Austrian Times we see: “Church leaders are spending 100,000 GBP moving a chapel half a mile – so it doesn’t offend Muslims. The Orthodox church was built on the site of a derelict mosque in Divic, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and is being taken away to improve relations with local […]

TheEye has no time for Goody-mania, and has no idea what she has ever done (if anything). However she isn’t dead yet and it’s really a bit much that OK! has published a 1981-2009 Official Tribute Issue before her pulse has even stopped. If you want to avoid one thing […]

What better way to celebrate World Kidney Day than with a bottle of decent red wine? The answer is by opening a second…which will occur in the very near future here. Cheers! TheEye does not smoke but does enjoy the occasional cigar after dinner. To celebrate National No Smoking Day […]

Actually they seem to do things in just about the same way as is increasingly happening in the UK and the USA these days. The “De Telegraaf” in Holland, describes* the cancellation of a big celebration party that was to be held in honour of the appointment of a new […]

One of your conivial hosts was intending to destroy the one-eyed Scottish idiot (you’ve got to love Jeremy for that classic) for his performance in a joint session of Congress. However TheEye loved Pete Moore’s effort so much that there was no point in him bothering. All of the following […]
