Romanians Would Vote Ceausescu Again

August 2, 2010 at 3:15 am

In news to surely hearten Gordon Brown, it seems that any moronic leader with a tenuous grasp on reality, a pill problem and the economic skill of a dead spaniel can be rehabilitated after they are combined to the dustbin of history. Apparently 84% of Romanians no longer support the […]

Staging Obviously An Fake Demo (Pakistani Edition)

“We’re not a mob of Islamic UK-hating flag burning effigy-torching nutjobs” chant mob of Islamic UK-hating flag burning effigy-torching nutjobs.

It’ll Never Work

July 30, 2010 at 7:23 pm

Pure genius from NewsWeek in 1995. Enjoy… After two decades online, I’m perplexed. It’s not that I haven’t had a gas of a good time on the Internet. I’ve met great people and even caught a hacker or two. But today, I’m uneasy about this most trendy and oversold community. […]

July 28, 2010 at 9:22 pm

They’ve always been playing both sides – especially their Intelligence agency. Truth hurts, eh? It wasn’t as dramatic in the flesh, but these diplomatic things never are. He also said: “”We cannot tolerate in any sense the idea that this country is allowed to look both ways and is able, […]
