Beware of the Leopard

I got a letter from that nice 'Dave' Cameron the other day. He wanted to know my opinion on the Conservative Party. He even enclosed a pre-paid envelope. Naturally, I was happy to oblige:

"Since you ask...

I think that that the deceiving, opportunist bastard who was more than
willing to use racism in the service of Michael Howard can just fuck
off."

Written with my best green crayon, of course.

There are fascists
Pretending
To be humanitarians
Like cannibals on a health kick
Eating only vegetarians.
(Roger McGough. Or possibly Adrian Henri)

Currently giving heavy Poddage to:

Muse
Miles Davis (Porgy and Bess)
Talving Singh's compilation, 'Anokha: Soundz of the Asian Underground'.

That gave me a good laugh.

I'm watching the American election with tense excitement. Thus far, the Democrats have taken the House, so things are looking up.

I need to recruit Edward to train me to respond to letters like that. I'm much too polite. And I'd never thought of using a crayon. Between my toes...

Yep, I'm watching our election results with excitement as well. I'm especially pleased with the overall results, so far, in my home state. It's good to feel hopeful again, instead of helpless.

"It's good to feel hopeful again, instead of helpless."

That was very well put. It even turned out better than I had hoped. :D

Yes, a positive development obviously...put at the risk of pissing on the bonfire...they're only Democrats.
