"Accused" as well, not "found guilty of".

Trump continues to be a tosser.

At least he's consistent.

[SA Chris]

Aye, be nice if he showed a shred of decency once in a while.

Murdoch / Cameron coverup. Or why it's worth reading The Guardian for actual news.

Fucking ridiculous.

Fucking ridiculous.

Brilliant - thank you, another excellent article Mr Sharpe 

he "relies on videogames heavily for the little ongoing happiness he can achieve in this life"

You couldn't make it up.

The gamer's past grievances, all unsuccessful, include a suit against Microsoft, claiming a broken Xbox 360 caused him undue stress; a claim against Sony, alleging they violated his First Amendment rights by banning him from their network; and a claim against Nintendo, arguing that by blocking certain Wii software they interfered with his inalienable right to seek happiness.

I wonder if he has ever heard the phrase "GET A FUCKING LIFE!!!!"?

Undoubtedly the only sensible story written about the so-called "climategate" (should I go straight to room 101 for typing that?) e-mail thing!

Interesting blog post thing about new media etc. Succinctly pointing out why Murdoch has got it so very wrong. Ties in with the discussion on this thread.

Good post Jasper - and Dave C - one of my colleagues was (unwittingly) caught up in the climateemail-gate scandal - and he found it very funny!

[Jaspersharpe]

Ouch!

Or at least a "SECOND FUCKING LIFE"

"...it's fair to say that most Sydney bars are full of wankers..."
A fact well known to most Melbourne people!

Somewhat discriminatory

Surely there is already a fine for dropping litter in place, a cigarette butt constitutes litter, why the need to introduce a new by-law then?  Presumably these 10 "wardens" will also be looking out for people dropping sweet wrappers, crisp packets, chewing gum etc.

Awesome speech by Arianna Huffington.

"Candido Godol, a small town in Brazil, has long astonished the world with its very abnormally high level of birth rates for twins. The rate is nearly a thousand percent higher than the global average: "the 80 households in a one-square-mile area have reportedly some 38 pairs of twins. Blond, blue-eyed twins."

National Geographic Explorer is digging into this mystery and they have come up with a pretty out there, and horrifying, theory. They investigate claims that mad Nazi scientist Joseph Mengele, who escaped to Brazil, continued his research into using twins as a way to build a perfect Aryan master race. One historian thinks Mengele succeeded, and this town is the proof."
