Nick Clegg’s kids supported Spain’s football team during the European Championships according to this article in the Failygraph. So what? They are half Spanish. They’d probably have cheered the English team on to a win too had the team not buggered up on penalties - again. But this isn’t what the [...]

London, prepare to become the laughing stock of the Universe.
We knew it was going to be Naff didn’t we? From the very moment the London bid was successful, we here at CCIZ have been putting the boot into the Glorified School Sports Day that is the London Olympics. From the massive public money overspend, the fact that 90% of the sports wouldn’t exist without [...]

Shall we take a vote, or does it win by acclamation?
More Reasons to Shop Morrisey
I’d sooner French kiss a month dead whelk than buy a Smiths record. Why? Well, apart from the fact their music is pretentious, mind-numbing bollocks, I can’t stand their self-righteous, twat of frontman, Morrissey. While Morrissey is several magnitudes shy of Bono’s brand of self-righteous twattery, he is making up ground fast.
Thus the old has-been [...]
Diplomatic Impugnity
According to the Daily Telegraph, Madonna’s ex squeeze Sean Penn, has been boxing in matters well above his intellectual microbe-weight. When I say well above I’m not talking stratospheric, I’m talking lunar orbit. Hollywoodland has rich deposits of stupid which are exploited on a daily basis and exported to the world’s political stages and media [...]
Nobel Prize for Taking the Piss.
Satoshi Kanazawa is an evolutionary bullshitter psychologist out on the make to make a name for himself. That he is employed by the London School of Economics, that paragon of impartiality and academic excellence, does not escape me. The Daily Fail article on Kanazawa’s newly published book of pseudo-intellectual cockwaffle contains so many awesome turd [...]
Jaded Munchkins
When I add blogroll links I always do ‘em in threes. Always.
It’s a sort of OCD. It’s my only sort. If you saw my office or kitchen you would appreciate that OCD is not something I’m too into.
I was perusing The Whited Sepulchre (another of my policies is to not imbed links to [...]
So How’s it going?
One of the great pleasures of blogging is the stats. I have peered into the abyss that is Stat Counter and in suitably Nietzschen fashion it peered into me. OK, most of of our visitors pitch-up for mine and the Kitty Kounter’s profound but fractured take on politics, science and society (or fit birds in [...]

I spent the last ten minutes labouring mightily and bought forth this mouse. If you object, tough. Although all criticism will be gratefully received and used to fertilise the roses.
If anyone recognises anything of their own here, again, tough.

Compliments
Just had the ravening ego fed by a very pleasant and complimentary site review and introduction by The Whited Sepulchre. And* importantly, he added us as to his blogroll, listing us amongst luminaries such as Samizdata, Devils Kitchen and Cafe Hayek.
Links. Need links. Must have links.
The ravening ego must be fed.
* Yes, I know, never [...]
Death as entertainment
I have been taking part in the comment thread on this post on Samizdata, where I expressed concern over treating a clip of taliban fighters being killed as entertainment.
Let me make this clear. There are people in this world who need to be dead, and I include taliban amongst them. I may regret the necessity [...]
Folie à douche
The Grauniad’s Wintour and Watt blog reports that:
Former PM believes he could still be in No 10 if new allegations relating to Andy Coulson had emerged before the election
The blog post headlines with:
Gordon Brown: I’d still be PM if hacking claims had been aired earlier
That’s right. The former Prime Mentalist believes that he lost the [...]
