the Right Was Right

Now that Shrubby's cronies are no longer in control of Congress, certain enterprising people of the lefty-American variety have come up with an interesting manifesto for the Democrats, showing the right-wingers just how right they were.

My favourite items from The Right Was Right (via BoingBoing):

18. God to be mocked roundly

Outlaw all firearms: previous owners assigned to anger management therapy

Ban Christmas: replace with Celebrate our Monkey Ancestors Day

Priceless

This has made my day:

Condom mailshot raises hell (Stuff.co.nz)

Hell Pizza has outraged family groups and morals campaigners by delivering innuendo-laden condom packets to letterboxes.

The controversial fast-food chain is promoting its meat-lovers' pizza - named "Lust" - with a mail drop of 170,000 branded condoms.

That there's a company called Hell Pizza pleases me no end. That they've sent out condoms as a promo stunt for a "meat-lovers'" pizza tickles me pink. That morals campaigners (generally fuckless people, I find) are outraged has me chortling in my boots.

I am a boot-chortling, pink-tickled, no-end-pleased person.

Here, try the penis hotpot

The glue seems to be thinning out now, thanks to many, many cups of tea, a couple of naps and a trip to the cinema tonight to see Children of Men (which was, by the way, excellent, and I recommend it heartily... Just don't expect to come out of it happy).

And now, because tradition, my brain and, more importantly, reason demand it, I'm going to bed.

I'll leave you with this story of the Ghuolizhuang (no, it isn't a joke, apparently) restaurant in Beijing, which claims to be China's only penis emporium (every country should have one...):

"Government officials," says Nancy. "Two of them upstairs. They're having the penis hotpot."

Aside from the bit about the tiger's penis it's quite funny.

Sleep tight...

Have a goat

I started writing a post last night about how I somehow forgot that liked to write for several years between leaving school and leaving uni, but it turned out to be very long and incredibly fatuous, so I decided to give you a news story instead:

BBC NEWS: 'Goat-free roads made me speed'

A Swiss man caught speeding on a Canadian highway has blamed his actions on the absence of goats on the roads.

A traffic officer's notes said the Swiss driver had said he was taking advantage "of the ability to go faster without risking hitting a goat".

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
