Is Donald Trump’s Hair Made In China?

DONALD Trump keeps talking, and the more he says the more you think he’s a stooge employed by the Sarah Palin camp to make their Presidential hopeful look better.

Here’s Trump on China:

“You can have one man say [in a mouse-like voice], ‘We’re gonna tax you 25 percent,’ and I can say [in his normal voice], ‘Listen you motherfuckers, we’re gonna tax you 25 percent.’ You’ve said the same exact thing, but it’s a different message.”

David Cameron’s Failed Handshake Proves He Is Not Psychotic

ONE day on from scoring a free ticket to the royal wedding (and dinner), Prime Minister David Cameron was playing tennis with former Wimbledon champion and Britain’s most likeable German Boris Becker at a charity tennis match at Chequers, Buckinghamshire. (Where id it all go wrong, Dave?)

As you will see in these photos, the event was notable for the gurning Cameron and the handshake.

The handshake is no longer a simple thing among gentlemen. The firm grip and steady look in the eye was once the essence of a done deal and moral assurance.

Labour Candidate Lists Facebook Likes As ‘Dogging’

SAYS the voter to the Bolton News:

“As the Labour candidate for Smithills, Sean Harkin, was recommended by our MP in her election leaflet, I decided to find out more about him.

“I was intrigued by one of his interests – dogging. I quickly decided that this was not the type of person we wanted representing us in Smithills.”

Obama’s Long Birth Certificate Endorsed By Official Cervical Mucus Plug Seal

BARACK Obama has decided to show you his birth certificate. To further squash claims that he was born somewhere other then in the US, the President will be using his cervical mucus plug on official seals. Obama will then revisit his birth by actually attempting to crawling inside his dead mother and be reborn, literally, in a TV address.

This is not a stunt, just the decent thing to do and befitting a man of his office.

New York Times Scooped By The Onion Over Obama’s Singing

FIRST the New York Times was scooped by news that Barack Obama sings in the shower. Then the paper of record’s fact-checkers got to work and got more upset:

A series of pictures last Sunday of covers of the magazine Tiger Beat, with an article about how the original teen-girl tabloid has remained virtually unchanged since its inception in 1965, erroneously included a parody cover, produced by the satiric newspaper The Onion, that featured a picture of President Obama.

John McCain Talks Utter Bollocks On Libya: Nation Listens

WITH Barack Obama looking confused on Libya, it is left to John McCain to explain to the rest of the world just how rubbish it would have been had he beaten The One and become American President:

“I believe that with sufficient and efficient, sufficient and efficient use of airpower, we can bring Gadhafi to his knees. ”

“It’s ideal terrain and situation for doing so.  Have no doubt, though, that he and his forces are adapting to this situation by hiding in houses and doing various things that prevent the airpower from being so effective.  But I’ll tell you, when you’re flying around at 25,000 feet, it’s pretty hide – it’s pretty easy to hide from them.

Guardian Readers Agree that Castro’s Cuba Cure’s Hurricanes

CARLOS Eire tells Guardian readers about the state of life in Cuba. It’s not all that great. Castro’s brother is in charge, reforms are a joke and repression is all the rage. But Guardian readers see that a dictatorship as no bad thing. Like Elizabeth Farrelly says, communism gets things done.

The AV Referendum Is Just Another Fix To Keep The People Suppressed

WHERE to do you stand on the AV vote? You know, AV? That’s the complex voting system in which you get to vote lots of times until a result is arrived at. Richard North takes a view:

IF you had been foolish enough to watch on TV yesterday the programme which the BBC passes off as news, you would have come away with the impression that the most important thing in the universe was the coming referendum on AV.

The cry is taken up by the MSM, with the likes of the Daily Mail offering us its leader headed: “How apathy over AV vote threatens Britain’s democracy”. The sentiment is, of course, fatuous, indicative of the shallow, one-dimensional thinking that afflicts British politics and the media.

There is no apathy, only indifference – which is a completely different thing, even though the Mail leader-writer manages to confuse the two. Indifference is a rejection of the agenda set by the political classes – a simple statement that their values and priorities are not ours.

Syria Bans The Demontrations Is Now Allow: Assad Wins Doublespeak Awards

THE UN Human Rights Council-friendly Syria is making great strides in reforming the State. President Bashar al-Assad has made a terrific statement on the telly. Enjoy this:

The last law proposed within this package made by the committee is allowing for people to demonstrate. The Syrian constitution allows for demonstrations, but we do not have a law which regulates the process of demonstrating. This process is a challenge to the police because they are not prepared for such things. That’s why the police should be adequately prepared and supported by personnel and equipment. There might be a need for restructuring the police in order to cope with the new reforms. One of the tasks of the police is to protect demonstrators and at the same time protect other individuals and public and private property from any attempt at sabotage or undermining people’s security.

Syria’s Application For Libya’s Old Seat On UN Human Rights Council Is Not A Sick Joke

WHICH country will fill the seat on the UN Human Rights Council vacated by Libya? Might it be…Syria? We kid you not. Now Lebanon produces an extract from the Syrian application form:

The five-page document makes some breathtaking claims. It says that Syria has “worked consistently on advancing the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms.”

This is at best delusional, at worst a lie. It goes on to say that the “promotion and protection of human rights are of highest importance to Syria,” another flabbergasting assertion, and that “Syria’s candidature to the Human Rights Council signifies its commitment to respect and to support the inalienable and indivisible nature of all human rights, both on the national and international levels.

Libya’s Rebels Are A New Model Army: Photos Of A Fashionable War

WHAT we know about the “rebels” in Libya is not much. All we can be certain of is that they are not fond of Colonel Gaddafi. Other than that, they are either freedom fighters, chancers, a North African version of the racist BNP, or agents of Al-Qaeda. Thanks to these photos we can see what they look like. And they look good, like models in a fashion shoot for a new range of urban warrior, with 1970s retro hints and shades of Mad Max.

Banning ‘Extremists’ From France – What Would Voltaire Say?

AS a believer in ‘the domination of the world by Islam’ and a supporter of capital punishment for ‘whoever insults the message of Mohammed’, Anjem Choudary may not be the kind of guy most of us would have over for dinner. But in banning the so-called ‘preacher of hate’ from entering France, the authorities there must have got Voltaire, that staunch defender of freedom of expression, spinning in his grave.
