(thru High Mainenance Hags - I had already seen this video several days ago, but the 'Enjoy' post I link to above makes it a worthwhile repeat watch.)

Well, I think it will probably rank up there in the top three at any rate! You be the judge:

Now that some more detailed analysis of the US midterm elections is coming through, it is clear that, whilst President George W Bush has suffered a setback, his core supporters amongst right-wing 'Christinaists' have succeeded in having amendments against gay marriage adopted [easily] in 7 of the 8 States where the matter was on the ballot: Colorado, Idaho, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,

Yes! It's just being reported that Donald Rumsfeld is to resign, in the wake of the results of the US midterm elections! Marvellous news!
(He should have been sacked, Mr President. It is a pity you had to wait until the American people had expressed their views quite plainly before you were prepared to act. This does not reflect badly on the US politcal system, with its checks and balances, it

The former tyrant Saddam Hussein is sentenced to death by hanging for crimes against humanity.
Whilst I am fundamentally opposed to capital punishment for anyone, including monsters such as Saddam Hussein, it is pretty clear that a great many Iraqis will be profoundly relieved that the law is taking its course, although it is also likely that the terrorist insurgents will exploit the verdict and

Sheilagh Kesting, who is scheduled to take over as Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland next May, has said that:
"I would personally have no problem blessing (civil partnerships). I was personally sorry about the way the vote went last year. I didn?t think that was necessary."
Next May's General Assembly promises to be a lively event if this comment by Dr Ian Watson,

The Scottish National Party (SNP) are launching a campaign to target 25-50 year old voters, the most favourably inclined toward 'independence' for Scotland according to the SNP's own research, by means of podcasting. You can watch the first effort, by SNP Leader Alex Salmond here.
It won't surprise regular readers of this blog to know that I disagree with the basic policy of the SNP, nor that I

I'm just watching the interview. I have no comments about the adoption itself - no doubt 'Social Services' have their own views on what is happening and as I know nothing about the 'facts' all I'm commenting on is the interview.
What is the stage set all about? Ruched net curtains on the walls and the floor. Bizzrre faaux-antique tables with faux-antique candelabras with flickering candles. Is

This is the case of the Glasgow firemen who last June refused to hand out fire safety leaflets at Glasgow Gay Pride, citing moral objections.
I didn't blog about this at the time because I wasn't blogging about much of anything then and I saw it as just yet another tedious example of ignorant homophobia. Of course a number of the 'usual suspects', some bloggers and tabloid journalists, thought

Mayor of London Ken Livingstone has always seemed to me to be a relatively harmless, if misguided, individual. Besides which his role as Mayor of London doesn't give him much scope for inflicting his lunatic policies on someone like me who lives a safe 500 or so miles away from 'The Smoke'.
Of course I do visit London occasionally and during my visits I

Our so-called Culture Sectretary wants the UK to be "world leader" in internet gambling and to offer a "hallmark of quality" to players around the world.
The good lady believes that banning this activity would drive it "underground" and fuel crime.
Frankly I've heard a lot of nonsense issue out of this Labour apparatchik's mouth on numerous occasions before, but I don't recall hearing something
