Obama: First Black Prez Can Do Whatever I Like
BARACK Obama. Anorak has looked down the list of approved Obama jokes and can find no mention of his being portrayed as rapper.
Barack Obama and a kangaroo pull up to a gas station. The gas station attendant takes one look at the kangaroo and says, “You know, we don’t get many kangaroos here.” Barack Obama replies, “At these prices, I’m not surprised. That’s why we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.”
The original is here.

Gordon Brown Reacts As Sarah Palin Boost Turkey Sales
SARAH Palin gets to see Turkey from her house, and the press gobbles it up.

The BNP List Is A Dead Loss
THAT leaked list of BNP members continues to make headlines.
The Sun leads with the news, “Palace pair are in BNP”. This is illustrated by a picture of not the dear old Queen Mum, but Her Majesty.
Inside, the members are revealed to be HRH “storeman Paul Murray and a retired porter”.
As a source tells the paper:
“Although his [Murray] name is on the list he has told us that it is only on there because he was invited to a social event that he did not attend.”
Also on the list is a Talk Sport Radio DJ called Rod Lucas. He says he joined up for “journalist research”.

Sarah Palin Shows Gordon Ramsay How Meat Is Murder
SARAH Palin shows the US that the turkey on their plate was once alive and full of blood and brains.
The US rears between 250million and 300million turkey for laughter each year.
And in the LA Times strict vegan Elizabeth Snead notes:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin pardons Tom the Turkey, then blabbles on, making little to no sense (as usual), while talking turkey and politics to a news crew. What she does not know is that at least two helpless turkeys are being slaughtered alive in the background, their legs wiggling as their heads are stuffed into a grinder by a smiling camera-hog executioner.
Nice to see someone who enjoys their work, huh?
Slaughtered alive. The swine! Can’t the killers wait for the birds to die in their sleep and then kill them?

Obama Supports War In Iraq
THE Los Angeles Times notes that Barack Obama is not all about regime change:
“Antiwar groups and other liberal activists are increasingly concerned at signs that Barack Obama’s national security team will be dominated by appointees who favored the Iraq invasion and hold hawkish views on other important foreign policy issues.…
Maybe they can change?

Baghdad Bombers Go Down The Metro
LOTS of angry people live in Baghdad. And in case they run out of things to bomb, the local bigwigs have a cunning plan:
A YEAR ago it would have been unthinkable. After all, it was a city where driving to work became a life-or-death decision and where residents were cooped in enclaves amid murder and mayhem.
The soulution…

Bush And Brown To Invest In Piracy, The World’s Growth Industry
PIRACY is booming. It’s the world’s growth industry.
Over the newswires, Anorak learns that a Hong Kong cargo ship has been attacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden near the Yemen coast.
The good ship Delight is loaded with 36,000 tonnes of wheat.
Says one UN insider:
“They’ve got oil for heating and fuel, and now they’ve got wheat. If they can hijack a boat carrying the G20 leaders, they will have democracy.”

Not All BNP Members Coppers: Proof Leaked
“BNP MEMBERS LEAKED ON NET,” says the Star.
Step backs from your monitor, gentle reader, lest a BNP member pokes out from the screen and hands you a leaflet.
Hating The BNP – join the debate
The Mirror takes up the story, saying that the list of 12,000 followers of the BNP has been published on the web. The BNP has been “EXPOSED”.
Big shock indeed to learn that not all of the names of the 12,000 are serving police officers.

Barack Obama Is Whigger, Trigger, Whiten Black Man
ON the BBC: “Is Obama black?”
Yes. He is black. So let’s move on with the post-racial politics…
Kimberly McClain DaCosta Harvard University wonders:
One well-known African American writer, Debra Dickerson, famously objected that Obama is not of the people properly defined as “black” on the grounds that because he is not descended from slaves.
Ergo, he is not black – at all.
Debra… No, never heard of her. Obama is black. Idi Amin was not black. So, let’s move on…

Barack Obama: It’s All About Race
IAN Leslie loosk at how the UK media handles Obama and all that post-racial politics. There aren’t even any Jews:
Here’s the thing: race isn’t about genetics. At least it’s about a whole lot more than that. Being black or white is about how people see you – and what they call you. Obama is black because society says he’s black. He’s black to white racists. And he’s black to every black child growing up in America. If that seems arbitrary, then, duh, that’s the problem. Some people come off arbitrarily worse than others.
And that’s it. Unless you’re:

Germ On Michelle Obama’s Geometrical Haemorrhage
MICHELLE Obama is a hero for womankind. And here’s Germaine Greer, she of the “fuck-me shoes” to tell us all about Michelle:
The one sour note to resound through the jubilation at the election of Barack Obama was an undercurrent of fear and loathing of the dress Michelle Obama wore on election night.
The dress?

The Big O: Creating The Obama Generation
IN the article “Change You Can Conceive In” Newsweek’s Jessica Bennett seeks to discover what babies were conceived at the moment of Barack Obama’s election victory.
She’s looking for the Obama baby boomers.
Of course, Obama was only elected a few days ago, and what with gestation and all, pregnancies have yet to be bedded down. But no need to wait – her best line appears at the article’s start:
The theory is almost too perfect to be true. Barack Obama, the son of politically progressive parents, was born Aug. 4, 1961—almost nine months to the day after John F. Kennedy was elected to the White House. Is it possible Obama was conceived on that historic night?
Hey, honey, let’s try the political progressive position. It’s a bit like the missionary of old but we get to talk all the way through and by the end we have to have reached someone else’s front doorstep.

G20 Leaders Get Loaded For Poverty
HATS off to Gordon Brown who is half way to fulfilling his pledge to end boom and bust.
Boom is well and truly over. And once we are all poor, bust will only be a historical relative, an arcane term of yesteryear.
So to the White House, where Gordon is at table to discuss matters of great import: when George Bush goes, will he be the most unpopular leader in the world?
The talk turns to the economic crisis,. With dinner keeping their tongue sharp and loose with beverages that cost almost $500 a bottle.
The G-20 summit kicks off with “Fruitwood-smoked Quail,” “Thyme-roasted Rack of Lamb,” and “Tomato, Fennel and Eggplant Fondue Chanterelle Jus.”
All washed down the gizzard with doses of Shafer Cabernet “Hillside Select” 2003, a wine that sells at $499 on Wine.com.

Sarah Palin’s Big Book Of Spells
GEORGE Bush is nearly out. You’ll miss him when’s he’s gone. And there’s a book coming:
Bush memoirs? Publishers are underwhelmed
“If I were advising President Bush, given how the public feels about him right now, I think patience would probably be something that I would encourage,” says Paul Bogaards, executive director of publicity for Alfred A. Knopf.
Yeah, losers don’t sell books:
Sarah Palin’s failure set to reap her $7m book deal
Literary agents are queueing up to sign her to a book deal that could earn her up to $7m… “Every publisher and a lot of literary agents have been going after her,” added Jeff Klein of Folio Literary management.

Obama Takes A Room At Bin Laden’s Ministry Of Peace
NOW Obama is our president elect, the rosy-fingered dawn of a new era in world affairs is upon us.
The world is changed forever. Now a goat farmer in Kenya can say that he can be whatever he wants. An Hawaiian can be King. A small child whose name ends in vowel can have hope. A half-white man can be cheered by Black Panthers.
And now it comes to pass that Obama can be at all places at all times. Thanks to the internets, Obama can truly be the world president.
As the Huffington Post reports:
President-elect Obama’s office gave the media a new way to present him as Franklin Roosevelt 2.0 by announcing Friday that it will be posting weekly addresses – fireside chats for the web generation – on YouTube.
A weekly address for the world as part of the “digital, transparent presidency”. How we will sit glued to the screen as Obama speak unto us.
Only one other leader has harnessed the power of the web in such a fashion, and he lives in a cave in Afghanistan.
