UPDATES
There are four new things in the 'want to swot' section (the last 4) and a new warmonger of the week.

I particularly recommend 'money is the cause of poverty' for a bit of independent thinking.

Come to think of it I obviously recommend them all. Otherwise I would not put them on the site.

There is a new opinion poll too. the results of the old one were as follows...


The USA is going to try and do what to Chavez?

Assassinate - 0%

Remove from power via a coup - 5%

Learn to deal with him- 5%

Fund political opposition in the hope of having him removed democratically - 7%

Link him to al-qaeda - 15%

Get behind his drive to redistribute wealth - 2%

Invite him over for dinner - 5%

Bomb the shit out of him - 2%

Any combination of the above that gets rid of the democratically elected Prez of Venezuela in order to control oil in the region - 59%

In the meantime...

    Venezuela has threatened to cut off it's US oil flow, so i expect Bush will try to link them to the war on terror. It may be a stretch, but the majority of American people are stupid enough to buy it.

    Wot? A scarcastic Venezuelan dog! Extreme funny sign, but the quest for total dominance of every oil producing country is not. Excellent post.

Thumping The Tub Video

    • This is my attempt at a video for the excellent, if worrying, David Rovics (see links) song

  • What You Like

    • I believe the word for this is "splenetic". Only 20 seconds long.

  • Imperial Measures

    • What is going on in Iraq? Some things you knew, some you didn't. A couple of bits of info are out of date now.

  • Wish You Were Here

    • Wish You Were Here is a 6 minute film about the unprecendted rate of animal extinction we are currently experiencing

  • Gorillas and us

    • I don't like creationism, neither did Douglas Adams

    some of the blogs I look at
    Arse of the month

    Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

    The inaugural 'Arse of the month' award goes to our very own Scottish First Minister Jack (Joke) McConnell. He seems to spend a lot of his time sucking up to english politicians and yet it appears they don't even know his name. Follow the link to see..
