Call centres. Nearly, but not quite, as evil as Satan Himself. I just tried to sort out a problem with my internet connection. It's quite a simple thing really. It keeps cutting out and I'd prefer it not to. I need to know if the problem is with the exchange or with my network. Piece of cake. You'd think... |

I've been skimming around the blogosphere, looking for interesting people to argue with. And there are thousands. Which is good. I like arguing. But there are countless bloggers who only blog about blogging. They don't rant about the economy or wax lyrical about the arts or just plain vent their spleen to anyone who'll listen. Instead, they proclaim their wisdom about keywords and search engine optimisation. WTF? Where's the fun in arguing about that? |

Sometimes, I think that people at work, particularly managers, think I spend all my time sitting on my arse waiting for them to send me urgent deadlines. An email came through from the director today, which just typifies all the crap that goes with working in the public sector. Titled, as they always are, "URGENT - Reply Needed" it contained a 84 page word document and the message "New Equality Scheme - public health contribution is required by the close of play today" |

With just 2 weeks to go, could American voters elect Barack Obama, not by a landslide, but an avalanche? National tracking and state polls show a trend towards Obama. He's picking up voters in all age groups and in all sectors of society. But what if this trend hasn't yet peaked. What if it has only just begun? Could he really get 490 Electoral Votes? |

Has all the negative campaigning and fear-mongering, put America on a dangerous road. We expect elections to be tough and we expect candidate to be put under the microscope. But is it getting more sinister than a bit of hardball politicking? According to a model developed by Genocide Watch, the USA could be halfway to mass slaughter. |

The presidential campaign has, in anyone's book, been far too negative and aggressive. So it's welcome that the last two days have seen an injection of humour into the Presidential campaign. Obama and McCain shared the stage at the Alfred E Smith memorial dinner, trading jokes and making fun of the campaign trail. McCain finally turned up for the Dave Letterman show and Joe Biden did a turn on Jay Leno. With Palin appearing on SNL this week also, maybe the campaign trail just took a turn for the better...? |

Now, I know that many Americans don't give a rats ass about how the rest of the world sees them. But nonetheless, they're being watched closely this election cycle. The rest of the world is powerless to intervene in what it sees as the biggest decision America has ever taken. And they're impotent at the fact that the decision could be made by the people they see chanting racist slogans and eating moose burgers. |

After hotly denying that his campaign has been too negative, McCain and his supporters continue their hate filled spiral into Hell. From racist accusations to scare tactics and more racist campaign posters, the Republican party seem determined to follow the mantra, if it ain't working, do more of it. |

In last night's presidential debate, John McCain took a swipe at health care in England, asserting that it's a just a state-controlled bureaucracy.Well, I've worked in that "bureaucracy" for nearly on 20 years, managing multi-million pound services, and I've done a little comparison. And it doesn't look good for Mr McCain's ideas. |

US Elections 08
Not that we're partisan, but we're really glad the moose-hunting psychopath didn't make it to the White House. Completely impartial observations from across the Pond.
Social Control
So, you think politicians are in charge? Think again. Breaking free from the shackles of mind control
Random Musings
Sometimes we write stuff that just won't go anywhere else. General insane and random mumblings from the minds of deranged fools.
