Blogger has a new look. How swanky

Exam results (end of year 10) are pouring in. I can tell you now I seem to do rather well in ICT, can’t think why.

And now a note to all readers – if you want to have your say on one of my blogs, just drop me a note using the Contact Me page. Come on, speak out!

Hope everyone’s Monday was bearable.

Following on from yesterday (which Nathan is rightly outraged by) Rush Limbaugh does not apologise. No, instead he continues.

Apparently torture is “good old American pornography.”

“Maybe the people who executed this pulled off a brilliant maneuver” he says.

And just to prove what a lunatic he is, he declares

“LIMBAUGH: I think a lot of the American culture is being feminized. I think the reaction to the stupid torture is an example of the feminization of this country.”

Read it here.

I mean for god’s sake, they care when Janet Jackson’s boobs are shown on TV, when Oprah talks about sex (shock horror!) on her talk show, but when this man PRAISES TORTURE on his radio show he is allowed to continue?

Oh what a surprise, turns out he’s best buddies with, ur George Bush.

Even more.

Isn’t saying “If there has been humiliation, it isn’t the fault of the West. It is Muslims’ fault.” inciting religious hatred?

Pleaassse – if anyone reading this is an American citizen, get rid of Bush at the next election! I don’t care who, just VOTE and for the world’s sake remove George W and his racist friends.

I thought I’d seen it all in US broadcasting. But now a ‘journalist’ (I’d print his real title but it’d break the obscenity rules of my hosting) has said, of the Iraqi torture photos on his radio station phone in show:

“CALLER: It was like a college fraternity prank that stacked up naked men —

LIMBAUGH: Exactly. Exactly my point! This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation and we’re going to ruin people’s lives over it and we’re going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time. You know, these people are being fired at every day. I’m talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You of heard of need to blow some steam off?”

Blow some steam off??? I’m fuming with so much rage here I can hardly type. But you can read more (yes, there is more) of his evil on this news article at
mediamatters.org and download an mp3 recording of him saying it, just in case you find it too shocking to be true.

WHY has this guy not been fired yet?

I’m seriously scared about the world’s superpower right now.

Well, it’s been there for several hours but I’ve finally found a nice, free program called Giffy which can convert .bmp files to .gif very nicely. So here it is, a slight tweak to the blog design to keep rivals on their toes

Best-TV-Show-Ever

OK, I’ll come clean, this blog just got wiped (agh!) so I’m having to retype it again. But that doesn’t change the fact Have I Got News For You is a brilliant programme, tonight with Claudia Winkleman (the wonderfully funny presenter of Liquid News before it was axed by the DOG wielding manic Stuart Murphy) and Stanley Johnson, Boris’ dad! It is hard to believe that William Hague, hosting for the second time, ran for Prime Minister only a few years ago. Ah the fate of all Tory leaders nowadays, performing Dirty Den’s lines from Eastenders. Brilliant show!

More sickeningly, Donald (Rumsfeld, not the Duck. Leave him out of this.) claimed that the photos from Iraq show abuse “but not torture.” What planet is this guy on? Oh yeah, the one with global ‘we like hot weather anyway’ warming and Guantanamo ‘they’re really scary and it’s in Cuba so it’s OK’ Bay. Can someone please just send him out to the frontlines in Iraq and let him fight for a few days?
