Say what you will about Julie Burchill, she can spin a good piece of text. Here she shoots from the hip at athiest fundamentlists and affirms her love for the act of "trying to be a Christian". Quite enjoyable stuff.....

"What is missing from much of the Western morality tale of Georgia vs Russia is any serious assessment of Washington's role in militarising former Soviet republics and giving a green light to their anti-Russian posturing." About Spike itself, V-Profance is right. Although goodness knows I've blogged content from it several times and do love its human centered perspective on the issues, it's sometimes too contrarian for its own good.

Young men are shunning work and turning to a life of crime as Britain develops a "get rich or die trying" culture, the country's most senior black MP warns today. David Lammy, the skills minister, says young men are encouraged by a "bling culture" to pursue crime as a short cut to wealth in the face of a rapidly changing economy which no longer places a premium on manual jobs.

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Man is tormented by no greater anxiety than to find someone quickly to whom he can hand over that great gift of freedom with which the ill-fated creature is born.

Every man serves a useful purpose: A miser, for example, makes a wonderful ancestor.

Although stand-up comedy today provides a career path to political analysis, sports commentary, or literary fame, the comedian Bernie Mac, who has died aged 50 of complications from pneumonia, followed the more traditional route to television sitcoms and films.

The idea that we shuold except student's spelling misstakes as merely `variant spellings' speaks to the denigration of Trooth in education.

One day a teacher had a taste test with her students. She picked a little boy to do the first test.
She blindfolded him, put a Hershey kiss in his mouth and asked,
'Do you know what it is?'
'No, I don't,' said the little boy.
'Okay, I'll give you a clue. It's the thing your daddy wants from your Mom before he goes to work'.
Suddenly, a little girl at the back of the room yelled,
'Spit it out! It's a piece of ass!'

A guy was sitting quietly reading his paper when his wife walked up behind him and whacked him on the head with a magazine.
'What was that for?' he asked.
'That was for the piece of paper in your pants pocket with the name
Laura Lou written on it,' she replied.
'Two weeks ago when I went to the races, Laura Lou was the name of
one of the horses I bet on,' he explained.
'Oh honey, I'm sorry,' she said. 'I should have known there was a
good explanation.'
Three days later he was watching a ballgame on TV when she walked up
and hit him in the head again, this time with the iron skillet, which
knocked him out cold.
When he came to, he asked, 'What was that for?
Your horse called.
