So, George Bush is groping strange women - seriously, if Reagan had done that to Thatcher they'd still be picking bits of him out of the shag pile, like finding dropped Christmas tree needles in June. Today we also learned he apparently calls Vladimir Putin 'Pooty-Poot' so, you know, all bets are off as far as that man is concerned. Hopefully not to his face, Putin looks like the kind of man who would put you up against a wall and shoot you as soon as look at you - he'd deny you a last cigarette as well. In fact, given his curriculum vitae, I'd be prepared to stake money that he has actually had people shot.

Also, World War Three seems to have started quietly. You know, I used to be fairly identifiably on the Palestinian side - in the basic freedom to pursue happiness, etc sense rather than the basic freedom to walk into pizza parlours and blow oneself up, but Hezbollah really are a breed of evil apart, so I'm probably fairly half and half at the minute, whilst retaining a low background level of 'what teh fuck, Israel?'

What with the heat outside somewhat resembling a blast furnace and the only watchable television being Marcus Brigstocke (the whinging leftie), Ron Atkinson (the racist) and Esther Rantzen (the unfunny version of Maureen Lipman) attempting and failing to learn French, I'm beginning to think the end times are actually upon us and am laying in tinned food and ammunition in preparation for the Rapture. Cos' you know Dubya/Merkel is Satan's doing. And I'm pretty sure Ron Atkinson being back on telly is one of the seven signs as well.

Exactly my opinion on the Lebanon thing. I have no opinion on the Bushwad. He has forfeited anything but a disbelieving headshake.

*melts, like those transformed non-mutants in the X-men movie, into a puddle of water*

Just when I thought my opinion of Bush couldn't go lower . . .

I think you're the first person on my friendslist to even mention Palestine. I was beginning to think people had stopped reading newspapers overnight . . . that, or everyone's given up entirely. The newspapers aren't even bothering to try and explain the timelines or anything, over here. Unless there's one side that you can villainize completely, they don't bother.

I think most of the people on the fl just don't know what they should say about it. It's so far away and not affecting them in any meaningful sense so it makes it harder to comment because it's hard to relate and they'd probably offend someone. That's not to say I wish people wouldn't comment about things that are remote to them, but you saw pretty much the same reaction to the Mumbai bombs last week, or the Madrid bombs in 2004, and the London bombs were only so widely commented on because there are so many Londoners around here. Ditto 9/11, I suspect, although I wasn't on LJ when that happened.

*merkels you*

Yeah, I have no fucking comment on any of that, because if I do? SO MUCH RAGE.

*sigh* Yes it does seem like that's what's happening.

You know what really pisses me off about Bush? Is that people say they like him cause they "identify" with him cause he has an "aw shucks!" mentality. I couldn't believe a woman on t.v. said that, so you're pleased to identify with stupidity? Okay!

sorry I get upset when the Bushster is mentioned.
