My politics and other animals

I know I've been very silent on the subject of our brave new leader since his official election. And why not? I've been waiting, biding my time, in the hopes that he will do something to vindicate all of my comparisons of him to George Dubbya. But, no luck. The man who once flouted the law and flaunted his corrupt gains has now fallen into line and become what all of the other leaders this country has had since its burgeoning democracy was born: careful.
This is not a bad thing. I would suggest that he who promised everyone all they wanted in order to gain power is now hanging back and wondering how to juggle all of his debts. And the longer he sits on the bench deciding whether to fish or cut bait, we're all that much safer.

And that's all for now, folks!

The meaning of news: It's all about sex (Part Three)

Have you ever asked yourself what the meaning of news really is?

It's like the meaning of life, isn't it? Or the meaning of God, or love, or digestive biscuits. Maybe there isn't any, I mean.

Anyway, whether there is any meaning to life, ABBA revival tours or news, I think we can all agree that there is a Hell of a lot of it. News, that is. (I try not to learn about ABBA revival tours.)

So, each and every day, there are millions of stories, big and small, that make it into the world's many news outlets. From Washington Post to Huffington Post, from the Tel Aviv Telegraph to the Jihadist Journal, from the Inuit Examiner to the Papua Express, from... Well, you catch my drift.

Lots of stuff out there - and I've been writing a daily column about various stories, for over two years now.

No, this is not a farewell post but I'm going on a holiday and I won't have access to the Internet, for a week. Which will be a mother of a cold turkey, I'm sure. So, I won't be able to follow the news or write about it - but I will leave you with some links to older, strange and sometimes wonderful news stories. I've built up quite an archive, over these two years...

Here's the nineth instalment, called, 'It's all about sex (part three)'. Enjoy:

1) The biggest dicks in Europe

2) Foreplay doesn't do much for women

3) The things we do for tits
