- Not much from me today, major dental work has left me feeling uncreative and very unfunny now the cocaine has worn off. You might like this post on vote rigging in the US Election from my friends The Chive over at Gather.com though. The Chive (like The Onion but smaller have a very whacky and surreal approach to blogging. The comment thread is... more

- It has always been said that what The North does today London will do tomorrow. In the case of the mayoral election though it took London 6 years to catch up. In May 2002 the people of Hartlepool elected H’angus the Monkey as their mayor (yes it really was six years ago.) We’ll never know if as Hartlepudlians cast their vote it occurred to them... more

- Goodbye Ken, it has been long eight years; far too long. I just wish that you’d realized that you were not the person for the job far sooner. It’s true that London had been booming during most of your reign, everyone with a property have become book-rich. Most of us, however, have far less to live on. It had nothing to do with you, it’s the... more

- Forwarded E-mails, music in restaurants, and election madness

- I completely hate these. These useless e-mails about attaching a picture of roses to show that you care, or some corny joke get on my last nerve. Today I went to eat dinner at some restaurant with my parents for my mothers birthday(which is acually later this week), and noticed the music playing. First off, it is rare to actually have music in a... more

- The feeling that someone was wasting your time? I'm helping with important elections stuff at work and I'm in a drafty office at one of the halls of residence. I've got some Rufus Wainwright music playing... my mp3 player doesn't like the cold. (Poor thing) Been here for about an hour or so and no ones been to vote. There's no signs advertising... more

- Marxist Minister played cultural Trump card in Tripura Sarkar, who has become quite a rebel in Marxist ruling Hegemony after writing poetry on Mayawati, claims that the Marxists will romp home with landslide victory.
