I’m off to Cardiff today for Rob’s stag bash tomorrow — a bit of karting, a meal and copious amounts of booze. We decided against anything too wild because, knowing him and Emma, their marriage will be like one long stag night — lap dances, sordid sex and vast quantities of narcotics and alcohol. Still, [...]
Interestingly, after the US’ admission that they’re holding children at Camp X-Ray, it seems that among the dictatorships Bush identified as the ‘axis of evil’TM, the US was the only country known to have executed juvenile offenders. Now clearly the old Iraqi regime had a dreadful human rights record, but reading about the US’s treatment [...]
Via website-less Jon, Happy Tree Friends — some very funny animations (watch out for the popup though).
This is just shocking: US is holding kids at Camp X-Ray.
There really are some very strange things on the web.
Two tests have been developed by Simon Baron-Cohen, director of the Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge. His theory is that the female brain is predominantly hard-wired for empathy, and that the male brain is predominantly hard-wired for understanding and building systems.

What’s that you say? Stop ranting about the war and post some funny shit? Oh, all right then…

Although the [...]

It’s widely acknowledged that George W. Bush’s ‘born again’ religious beliefs play a large part in the simplistic way he views the world, but until recently most of the pieces I’d read concerning the US’s current policies have tended to concentrate on the neo-conservative side of things. So I decided to spend a while reading [...]
New York radio station WNYC has created The Art of War, an online gallery of their listners/visitors artistic takes on the current war on Iraq. Both pro- and anti-war viewspoints are represented in photographs, paintings, editorial cartoons and digital animation.
The Digital Journalist, a showcase for photojournalism, is exhibiting some powerful photographs of the Iraq war [...]
What’s the best way to show your support for America liberating the world from itself? Personally, I feel that some old fashioned “God Bless America” objets d’art go a long way towards showing solidarity. Of course it would be easy to make patriotic ornaments seem a little tacky, but I’ve scoured the web to find [...]
