Tony Blair


Revision Precision

While finding it rather rich that Condoleeza and others are now blaming “revisionist” history tactics for the lack of WMDs, what the hey. Irony is elusive in the states. Let’s just hope “revisionist history” and “roadmap” do not become the overused monikers like every other phrase from the war..

Better things. Sun. Sea. Sand. Not here.

I wanted to play cards, but didn’t want to use the Iraqi most wanted as it’s hard to differentiate between colour and value. Instead I have ordered up some “Most Unwanted Cards” featuring the Dixie Chicks, Tony Blair etc..What a great gift idea.

Now back to the Fo’ Shizzling of Ma’ Nizzling: You got the name. Now you need the all the appropriate gear. Get to BlingBay right now and check it yo’.


More evidence the war has become like a video game…

Everyone loves to photo-shop. Thanks fark.

The Times online has put out an aticle how radio stations are refusing to play any “unhappy” or “war” songs. So much for democracy. Thanks Tony and George. Just remember as the economy suffers and people see a lot of death, yor election hopes dwindle away. Scarily enough, that just might be the best outcome of this war.


Super Best friends

Just qucik before dashing off to the office, this morning the New York Times reports GW Bush has called for a second resolution mainly to help Tony Blair. Isn’t that sweet? They should just go full hog and rent a room together…..

On another war front, what is the Washington Times doing with an article about US strategy to win a South Korea – US war against North Korea? Time to get really scared. Did you notice the congestion charge has gone done a treat? Swine.

I have found another new band and I must admit they are really good. It was only a matter of time before a band took the name, The Postal Service. Good stuff.

Just my luck as the damn report can’t be saved to disk! Mierde.


New Union Statement Released

21/02/03 – London (Reuters) – A series of discussions with Tony Blair and the CEO of Spinneyhead have ended late this evening. The Spinneyhead Union Association is threatening a strike action if their demands for better worknig conditions and pay are not met. Spinneyhead maintains that modernisation of posting practices must happen before other issues can be resolved. Chief negotiator, John O., remained upbeat and expressed praise for Spinneyhead CEO Ian P’s handling of the current crisis.

“Spinneyhead is vital for people across the world and the SUA is committed to working through this with Ian P and his management team. As a result of todays talks, the SUA is pleased to annouce we have decided not to demand a $30,000 jacuzzi for the Scottish Office. With this gesture it is clearly time for Spinneyhead to make some inroads as well. Ian P stated in the meeting today he was not going to be actively involved with the business over the next two weeks and we urge him to take this time to improve the site! Obviously if he is not surfing or working, he surely can lead the charge to improve working conditions and let the world know Spinneyhead cares about its employees and readers alike.”

Attempts to contact Ian P were unsuccessful. A spokesperson in their Manchester offices stated a statement would be released after a meeting to agree the new site colour scheme, purportedly remoured to be Puce.


Tony's cronies?

I’m beginning to suspect that the Tory party is secretly run by Tony Blair. Just when Tony’s approval ratings hit an all time low Iain Duncan Smith announces a lurch to the right which is probably going to destroy any chance of making significant gains in the next election. It wouldn’t be quite so bad if this wasn’t exactly the same thing that William Hauge did in the middle of the last term. I wonder what it’s like to live in country with some kind of effective opposition party.


So that's how the holes get there!

What is it about Americans and Doughnuts (read as “Donuts” if you’re the subject). Especially American cops?

Off to Edinburgh for a day or two next week. Might meet somebody like Tony Blair, but then again I may meet somebody important like the great John O himself. Alternatively, I might end up getting seriously mashed. But that doesn’t preclude the other two, just makes for more interesting blogs afterwards.

Odd sense of English. “Alternatively” shouldn’t really work in the sentence above since you can only have two alternatives. “Optionally” didn’t sound right, due to other connotations, which imply I could or couldn’t do it. It doesn’t really accept the hand of fate (nor alcohol) in getting drunk.

As for it being Monday, it’s one of the better days.


The day I met Tony Blair

Well excitement for me! I ended up saying meeting Tony Blair on the steps of the Hilton Caledonian in Edinburgh yesterday!!! Yeppo, it was me! I said hello, he said hello, it was like a big party! I must admit to being in a small state of shock because in person he doesn’t look like such a pathetic wimp. It’s true, in real life he actually looks a bit like the devil and has much more stature. Gotta admit, he does look like the type of chap you could actually sit down and share a coffee with. I mean, try to imagine sitting down with the quiet man, Mr. Duncan Smith, you would want to top yourself after two minutes of shitty conversation.

War, ugh, what is it good for? Well, absolutely not the economy or world peace! The NY Times this morning points out that America does require at least another Month to get the troops to the frontline, although a bombing capaign could be launched in the first of March. The other point they make is that the US is reluctant to go it alone and may be able to use the monthly Mr. Blix reporting as a way to build a trend of total non-compliance which seems to be a good ploy. How many times does Mr. Blix have to come back to the Secruity Council saying more could be done before the world representatives are backed into a corner?

About the war protests today. Even my brother is going to London to march for the antiwar sentiment. I applaud all those people going and if you think you don’t have democracy here, remember that in New York City today, the protesters have been denied a permit to March, are only allowed on sidewalks (kerb to you limies) for a rally, and the police have encapsulated the protesters into an area that only holds 10,000 people rather than the 100,000+ coming. Makes you wonder about all the hype surrouding freedom and democracy…..Check out this article providing an American viewpoint to how important the London protest is as it could deny Tony Blair concensus in his own country…

And just to make you laugh at those twits at Salon:
“SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14 (AP) � The Salon Media Group, the online magazine publisher, warned today that it might not survive beyond this month if it cannot raise more money to pay its rent and other bills.The company, based in San Francisco, painted a grim financial picture in a quarterly report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.Things are so bad, Salon said, that it stopped paying the rent for its headquarters in December, prompting the landlord to issue a demand last month for a $200,000 payment.”

Well, Well, Well. NationStates continues to be a prime activity for me these days and my republic is a happy, joyous land of 40 million people.

This is pretty funny. I have found an English to 12 year old AOLer translator. Quite a good joke.

One last note. Why not visit the official WhiteHouse site and get a glimpse of what truly is going on at www.whitehouse.org


NationStates rules.

Ok. I have been playing NationStates online and I am only a new entrant, but my country, The Commonwealth of Ottotheo is remarkably like my home country. This game is worth the effort everyday as it is simple to play and allows you to model your rule on todays leaders! Just today my biggest employee group, the furniture restorers decided to go on indefinite strike until they receive a two year, 20% pay hike. Just like Tony Blair and the Fire Brigades, I just dismissed the issue outright. I will found out the consequences of my actions tomorrow. Play it now.


Calling the poodle.

Amazing. Get up this morning read the Washington Times online and there is an commentary about Mr. Blair and his potential loss of government for sticking with Mr. Bush against his own peoples wishes and European dissent. This coming from an extreme right wing US paper makes for a very interesting read.

Now according to that high-class, intelligent read the Sun, Kylie Minogue is starting up her own lingerie company. Not a bad bet for the girl voting most beautiful backside of 2002. Seeing as the resident Webmaster has a thing for War, I found an interesting article about how one of the most famous hoaxes of WWII may have been solved.

Now I have never played videogames, but pals at seanbaby have put together a list of the top 10 naughtiest video games of all time. Funny how I never ended up with any of these titles at Christmas time.

I remember back in the early 1990s America was worried about the amount of US investment by the Japanese. People were Japanese paranoid, thinking that no american would own any of their own land if things kept going. If anyone can recall, a book in 1992 was published, “Rising Sun”, which highlighted US fears regarding Japan. Hell, it was even made into a motion picture. Well, Well, Well, my how things have changed. Forbes magazine reports the Japanese interest rate fell below 0% over the weekend! Errr, how does an interest rate go into the negative? Hahahahahahahahahaha. What losers the Japanese are.


Lunchtime Blog

(Because I only surf on my breaks. Honest)

It’s great to have a team, now I can visit my own site to find cool stuff.

Somehow, I don’t think that adding an extra lane to motorways is going to solve the country’s congestion problems, but the Government are spending �2billion on doing just that. For that sort of money you could build tram systems to take the strain from the most heavily used routes, or run light goods railways from all the major freight terminuses to industrial estates. Hell, for that kind of money you could start giving these away to commuters.

Tony, if Thatcher is praising you, then you’re probably doing something very wrong.

Not a late addition to my Christmas list, but you can now get a talking Dubya doll. How totally seasonamable.
