Bill Clinton’s Aural Histories: Boris Yeltsin Hailing A Taxi In His Underwear
BILL Clinton gave Taylor Branch, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and civil rights historian, 79 oral history interviews. Those interviews now form part of a book.
Bill Clinton was reluctant to speak of Monica Lewinsky. Although Clinton told Branch the Lewinsky affair began because “I cracked; I just cracked“. Brand says he “lapsed”.
And then not without humour, perhaps, Branch tells us:
“He said he could have done worse. He could have blown something up.”

Barack Obama Swap Autocue For Autotune, Video
AUTOTUNE is not just for Cheryl Cole but it’s even good enough for Barack Obama, who fields questions and answers them, too, in the style of just about any average singer wharbling into a computer.

Barack Obama: Terrorist Storms Congress, Sparks Chaos And Fear
MICHAEL Shaw, of the Huffington Post, spots Barack Obama under attacks from American terrorists in Congress:
Rep. Joe Wilson shouts out “liar” as Obama makes assurances about illegal aliens and access to services. and the Barck Obnams Death Cult stosm congress:
Feel the terror:
It might be overstated to liken Wilson’s action to domestic terrorism, but the U.S. Congress isn’t the House of Parliament and his shocking breach of decorum created not only a disturbing moment, but even a fearful one. And that’s what terrorism is about, isn’t it — instilling chaos and fear at an opportune moment against a high profile target?
You could see Pelosi’s anxiety and worry until the moment clearly passed.
Well, if Pelosi could move her face you can. As for being like the Houses of Parliament, well, it’s not nearly so bitchy:

PlayGirl Levi Johnston Is Sarah Palin’s Naked Kill Of The Day
LEVI Johnston, former son-in-law-to-be to Sarah Palin, wants to show his Crunchwrap Supremes to readers of the Playgirl website – the magazine closed earlier this year and Playgirl went for more porn and less writing to appeal more to, er, women.
The first problem is that “Levi’s handler” – who turns out to be someone other than his numb left hand – says he’s unsure whether to show “the front or the back”. And therein lies the trouble for Playgirl, the organ men would buy for their “girlfriends” and women wouldn’t buy at all.

Demi Moore Joins Gordon Brown’s Cabinet Of All The Talents
REMEMBER when Gordon Brown ushered in the end of the Age Of Celebrity, a shiny time in which politicos became politicools under Tony Blair and his Blairios?
Gordon Brown was a traditionalist. For him celebrity was out and VIP was back in vogue. Sarah Brown, Gordon’s wife, took up the mantle and was soon photographed with such VIPs as Paris Hilton (says Sara Brown on Facebook: “Loved Paris Hilton…nothing about her public image prepares you for the first meeting. She’s a smart, caring, considerate person. Who knew?”), Naomi Campbell and JK Rolwing.
Now we join Sarah on Twitter, as she makes contact with new VIPs, some of which she hopes to meet. Sarah Brown has book to publicise, it’s all about the plight of women in the developing world and very worthy of VIP attention?
So Sarah Brown got on Twitter and having accessed the page of Demi Moore, US Secretary of Twitter, she penned:
‘Spread the word (in the U.S.A)!’ – ‘Half The Sky by Nicholas Kristoff & Sheryl WuDunn comes out 2day’.

Hackney Council Finds New Way To Make The Place Uglier By Painting Over Banksy’s Blur Cover
WAYS to make Hackney even less pretty: paint over a Banksy original with black paint. The Banksy portrait was a spoof image of the Royal Family.
It is now a spoof image of the Royal Family as glimpsed though a tunnel, a dark one.
The painting featured on a building owned by Sofie Attrill, who was happy for the picture to be made for the release of Blur’s 2003 single Crazy Beats.
Says she:
“The workmen were smiling as they did it – they thought it was funny. I just burst into tears. But a crowd gathered and we managed to get them to stop before destroying it completely.”
Hackney Council had sent letters telling Ms Attrill that her painting would be expunged. It needed her consent. Only – get his – the council sent the letters to the wrong address. And with no consent forthcoming they painted over the picture it anyhow.
She continues:
“I don’t care about art or politics – I am just an ordinary girl who liked being cheered up by seeing this on my street. People have always been telling us to sell it or cover it in Perspex, but we only wanted it to be here for the public’s enjoyment. You can’t take a photo if it’s behind a thick plastic screen.”
Nor layer of Hackney Council No. 1.
She continues:
“We never wanted to make money out of it like many do – but it was a part of our lives. Now it’s gone. People are always doing down Hackney but this was something we could all be proud of.”
Says Cllr Alan Liang:
“The council’s position is not to make a judgement call on whether graffiti is art.”
No. Because to do so would require brains, intelligence and sensitivity?
The council drone goes on:
“As soon as we realised this, work stopped. We are now speaking with her about how to resolve the issue.”
Well, it was never about the money, so pecuniary compensation is out. What about allowing her to paint the council’s offices – it being only fair?
Anorak is no expert on art nor graffiti, either but I imagine a large Tag featuring the words “TWATS WORK HERE” and a massive foamy penis should do it…

Mary Jo Kopechne Killed Joseph P. Kennedy
EDWARD Kennedy: The rewrite in the NY Times:
“In a memoir being published this month, Senator Edward M. Kennedy called his behavior after the 1969 car accident that killed Mary Jo Kopechne ‘inexcusable’ and said the events might have shortened the life of his ailing father, Joseph P. Kennedy.”
Didn’t do much good for Mary Jo Kopechne either, possibly…

Paul Krugman Versus The Deadly NHS
MEDIA Scare Stories: The NHS is killing us all. Unless you’re Paul Krugman and the NHS isn’t:
In a letter to The Daily Telegraph, a group of experts who care for the terminally ill claim that some patients are being wrongly judged as close to death.
Under NHS guidance introduced across England to help doctors and medical staff deal with dying patients, they can then have fluid and drugs withdrawn and many are put on continuous sedation until they pass away.
But this approach can also mask the signs that their condition is improving, the experts warn.
But do not worry. help is at hand.
Former Enron adviser Paul Krugman tells NY Times readers:
“In Britain, the government itself runs the hospitals and employs the doctors. We’ve all heard scare stories about how that works in practice; these stories are false.”
You can decide for yourselves who is right, although by the timr you know for certain it will be too late and the NHS nurse will have placed that thimble of warm tap water out of reach.
It’s a heated debate:
Ventura County sheriff’s Capt. Frank O’Hanlon says about 100 people demonstrating in favor of health care reforms rallied Wednesday night on a street corner. One protester walked across the street to confront about 25 counter-demonstrators.
O’Hanlon says the man got into an argument and fist fight, during which he bit off the left pinky of a 65-year-old man who opposed health care reform.
Medic!
A hospital spokeswoman says the top joint of the man’s pinky was bitten off, including the entire fingernail. It was not reattached.
Did he, you know…
She says he had Medicare.
And a drink? He’s 65…

Miyuki Hatoyama, Japan’s First Lady, Visits Tom Cruise’s Uranus
CONGRATULATIONS to Yukio Hatoyama for being declared leader of Japan and all the Japans. And pointy baths off to his wife, Miyuki, who is now able to better grandstand on her alien abduction.
Before we go on, know that Miyuki Hatoyama is on bowing terms with Tom Cruise, whom she knew in a past life when he was temporarily incarnated as a Japanese. She’s seen the film right, and Tom’s heel lifts.
Miyuki who has – shock of shocks – lived in California (she “eats the sun for breaskfast“) has written Welcome to the Hatoyama Restaurant, Welcome to the Hatoyama Home, Miyuki Hatoyama’s Spiritual Food and Miyuki Hatoyama’s Have a Nice Time.
But it is her text Most Bizarre Things I’ve Encountered that reaches out to the worlds.
“While my body was sleeping, I think my spirit flew on a triangular-shaped UFO to Venus. It was an extremely beautiful place and was very green.”

Sarah Palin Wanted To Pretend Bristol And Levi Johnston’s Son Was Hers
LEVI Johnston, former almost lover to his baby mama Bristol Palin, is talking to Vanity Fair about his almost hockey mom-in-law Sarah Palin and how she wanted to pretend the child he fathered was hers.
Having made Sarah Palin a grandmother, Johnston now sticks the knife in over a five-page first-person account.
The Palins didn¹t have dinner together and they didn’t talk much as a family. Throughout the years I spent with them, when Sarah got home from her office–almost never later than five and sometimes as early as noon–she usually walked in the door, said hello, and then disappeared into her bedroom, where she would hang out. Sometimes she’d take an hour-long bath. Other times she sat on the living-room couch…watching house shows and wedding shows on TV. She always wanted things and she wanted other people to get them for her. If she wanted a movie, Bristol and I would go to the video store; if she wanted food, we’d get her something to eat, like a Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell.
Oooo, he’s pulled out the Crunchwrap. That hurts.
She’d try to bribe everyone to clean the house, or give us guilt trips. She used to make Bristol feel bad by telling her that she did everything for her. This was unfair because, even before the campaign, Bristol was already the mom in the house, and she got tired of having to take care of her siblings.
Aspiring model Johnston – Vanity Fair shoots him in moody black and white as a sweetener to his pretensions – also speaks of divorce. Recently the Palins, Sarah and Todd, were embroiled in a divorce rumour. Says Johnston:
“There was a lot of talk of divorce in that house … times when Sarah and Todd would mention it and sound pretty serious.”
Johnston is 18. He was dating Bristol when he was 17. To sports jock Johnston hearing the alphabet said aloud is pretty serious.
“After the nomination, Sarah and Todd wouldn’t go anywhere together unless the cameras were out. They’re good on television, but once the cameras would leave they didn’t talk to each other. In all the time Bristol and I were together, I’ve never seen them sleep in the same bedroom…. Even during the Republican National Convention they slept in different bedrooms at opposite ends of her suite. Todd slept in the living room, on his little black recliner, with the TV going in the background—usually with the news or an Ultimate Fighting Championship match on—wearing clothes he wore that same day. [Since I used to sleep on the couch until Bristol got pregnant, I know he doesn’t snore, so that’s not why he wasn’t in bed]…. If Sarah and Todd did talk—they really don’t communicate at all—they were fighting. Todd is short-fused, and if you get him fired up, he flips out. He often got mad that Sarah wasn’t looking after the kids, and I’m sure she was mad he was riding [on his snow machine] all the time—but they really just weren’t clicking half the time.”
And the kids?
“Even before she was nominated, there wasn’t much parenting in that house,” says the man who helped turn Bristol Palin into a single mum.
“Sarah doesn’t cook, Todd doesn’t cook – the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school. Most of the time Bristol would help her youngest sister with her homework, and I’d barbecue chicken or steak on the grill.”
Johnston was Palin’s bitch? This is the kind of woman America should have had running the country, someone who can find a use for even the most feckless no mark. And while Levi was a-shaggin’ and a-grilling, he was also a–listenin’ to Sarah’s post-White House failure.
“Sarah was sad for a while. She walked around the house pouting. A week or two after she got back she started talking about how nice it would be to quit and write a book or do a show and make ‘triple the money.’ She would blatantly say, ‘I want to just take this money and quit being governor.'”
So says Johnston, whose fee for speaking to Vanity Fair is not revealed.
“She definitely thought she was running for president.”
But the biggest scoop is that the former governor of Alaska suggested that she and husband Todd could adopt her daughter’s baby and keep the real parentage a secret. Says Johnston:
“That way, she said, Bristol and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Sarah kept mentioning this plan. She was nagging – she wouldn’t give up. She would say, ‘So, are you gonna let me adopt him?’”
And so the conspiracy will begin. Trig Palin was really Bristol’s baby, went the narrative, and now two-wombs Sarah Palin had sniffed a way to repay the favour.
Of course, what Johnston does is do some Palin PR, preventing Sarah Plain from slipping down the radar like a piece of hairy soap down the plughole of life.
Rather than attacking Sarah Palin, Levi is supporting the family business. With Sarah Plain everyone has a use – even Levi Johnston…

Colonel Gaddafi And Megari Wear Lockerbie Kilts At 40th Anniversary Show, Pictures
LOCKERBIE: Did Gordon Brown sanction Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi release and return to Libya in exchange for oil? And did a kilted Colonel Gaddafi thanks Scotland at his 40th anniversary do? Anorak looks back at Gaddafi’s life and at the current mess.
IN Libya, locals are celebrating Colonel Gaddafi’s celebration of 40 years in power. A video clip showing Megrahi stepping off a plane from Scotland to a hero’s welcome is played on a giant screen in Tripoli.
The British media is shocked that such an event should feature in Gaddafi’s anniversary celebrations. So what should be included?
Other highlights of Gaddafi’s 40 years in power:
1969 – A 27-year-old Gaddafi topples King Idris I in a farting contest, having eaten only falafal for seventeen days previously.
1974 – Gaddafi muses on which is the superior: a horsehair or palm leaf fly-swatter. Libya’s first democratic vote is curtailed when the palm leaf nails a huge blue bottle.
1977 – Gaddafi invented a system called the “Jamahiriya” or “state of the masses”, in which power is held by thousands of “peoples’ committees”, each answerable to the Supreme Committee, overseen by Colonel Gaddafi. The committees begin work on designing a new people’s horse, which comes to be known as a camel.

BNP List Leaker Matthew Single Fined £200
WHEN Matthew Single, a former member of the British National Party, leaked the names of the BNP’s 10,000 members online he broke the law and caused a sensation – it turned out that not all BNP members were in the police force, nor were they all still living with their mums.
At Nottingham magistrates, Single was fined £200 for disclosing data without consent. District Judge Stobart also told Single to pay £100 towards the cost of the prosecution. This seems cheap, and it is a reduced fine because Single is on benefits.
Says the judge:
Judge Stobart added: “It comes as no surprise to me that somebody to do with an organisation that prides itself on Britishness is in fact living off the British people on Job Seeker’s Allowance and that is why the fine is so low as to be ridiculous.”
As we say, not all BNP members are employed in the police force. No. Single’s living off the immigrant labourers who come here and pay our Great British taxes.
Immigrants’ taxes for Great British non-workers!
The charges were dropped against Single’s wife, Sadie Graham-Single… Single trained BNP members in security while his wife was head of group development for the party nationally and was a councillor.
Yeah, Single has a wife. The crime:
When police raided his home they found a laptop computer and two memory sticks, which were wrapped in cellophane and hidden at the bottom of a cereal box.
Corn flakes or Fruit Loops…

Lockerbie: Govenment Will Not Publish All Correspondence
LOCKERBIE: The UK Government late this evening said it is to publish “all relevant” correspondence with the Scottish Executive over releasing the Lockerbie bomber.
Downing Street confirmed exchanges between Ministers and their counterparts north of the border would be made public on Tuesday, says the Press Association.
The two administrations are getting close to open insult warfare over the handling of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi’s case.
Note the term “Scottish Executive“. In Scotland the controlling Nationalists insist the term is Scottish Government. Whitehall’s mandarins refuse to acknowledge the term and still use the “executive” description as firm reminder to the kilted ones Westminster remains in charge, despite the transparent myth of devolution.
It’s use at all in a UK Government press statement is designed to turn up the emotional heat in Edinburgh.
Don’t be surprised if you find the “all relevant” documents line is later shown to have a big hole in the terminological inexactitudes department.
All sides are as guilty as sin in this and Anorak told you so three years ago – AGW

Edward Kennedy’s Life And Funeral In Pictures
EDWARD Kennedy is dead. Ted Kennedy is dead. And so begins politics’ response to the Michael Jackson funeral.
Politics is showbiz for ugly people – well, is wasn’t when the Kennedys were in their pomp.
All those unable to mourn Jacko in the big TV spectacular can now weep for Teddy Kennedy.
Expect lots of close up of stars and big names. Lots of rich people in a room mourning a dead rich person. And the media pour over it, seeking meaning in all and finding none.
Everyone’s wearing their best clothes and their best faces. Men hug men. And they all loved dear old Teddy. All of them, even the ones who never met him…
Meanwhile, over in Afghansitan lots of poorer people in regulation clothes are being shot at…

Evidence That British Ministers Traded Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi For Gadaffi’s Oil
DID the British Government – those traders in ethical foreign policy – do a deal with Libya that traded mass murderer Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi for oil?
Opposition parties say ministers have “serious questions” to answer after Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s son, Saif, said Megrahi’s release was part of a trade deal.
Remember Saif?
In 2002, Saif Gaddafi, the son of Libyan Leader Colonel Gaddafi, celebrated his victory against The Sunday Telegraph outside the High Court. Gaddafi, then a 29-year-old architect and engineer, was at the High Court to fight 
against The Sunday Telegraph in which he was claiming libel damages over an article in 1995 which he says accused him of being a dishonest maverick involved in money laundering.
He won. The British media lost. Now the same Daily Telegraph that questioned Saif’s honesty tells us:
Saif al Islam Gaddafi, Col Gaddafi’s son, made it clear that in all business talks with Britain, the release of al-Megrahi was always ‘on the negotiating table.’ That claim, allied with the new revelation that other ministers have been holding wide-ranging talks, puts Mr Brown in an increasingly difficult position.
Who or what to believe?
AGW sees a press release by the press association. “Not a lot to add… Apart from saying that Mandelson’s “offensive” quote is a cracker.
(He would say that wouldn’t he?…as that other notorious Mandy…Welsh tart Marilyn Rice-Davies…famously said of Lord Astor’s denials during the court case following the Profumo scandal. Not that I would ever associate the openly gay UK Business Minister with a call-girl. That would be completely over the top.
You’d need more than a touch of terminal disease to get out of jail with a free card and a Mediterranean pied a terre after that level of journalistic offence.”)
The news:
PRESSURE is increasing on Gordon Brown to disclose details of trade deals negotiated with Libya.
It comes after it was reported that three ministers had visited the country in 15 months leading up to the release of the Lockerbie bomber.
Lord Jones, then trade minister, travelled to Libya in May last year to speak to business representatives, according to reports.
Former health minister Dawn Primarolo was said to have conducted talks with the Libyan prime minister in November last year, and Bill Rammell, then Foreign Office minister, held discussions with his Libyan counterparts in February 2009.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson also met Libyan health ministers at the World Health Assembly in Geneva last year when he was health secretary, it was reported.
And now the best bit:
Business Secretary Lord Mandelson dismissed the suggestion that the bomber’s case was on the table during talks as “offensive“.
So was it under the table, then?

Ted Kennedy Killed By Obama Death Cult
TED Kennedy is dead and the Barack Obama Death Cult realises that Obama is the last Kennedy standing. Chris Matthews says so.
As Gateway Pundit notes:
“Chris Matthews also used Teddy Kennedy’s death to bash conservatives as an angry mob of potential assassins. NewsBusters has the transcript from this morning”:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: You know there’s going to be a lot of talk about the tragic blessings of the Kennedy family, and the curse. And it’s all nonsense. These people were courageous risk takers. Kathleen Kennedy, the girl, the oldest daughter, she was killed with her lover traveling on a plane ride she never should have taken through terrible weather in Europe. Joe Kennedy, Jr. took a mission that nobody should have taken in a plane loaded with dynamite to go blow up the V-1 rocket sites. Jack Kennedy was killed in an open car in Dallas in the midst of the most hated–it’s like the mood we’re in right now.

John Prescott’s New Earth Deal Kills The Planet
MORE news on John Prescott, the former deputy Prime Minister who’s turning into Britain’s version of Al Gore.
Anorak was at the Rich Mix building in Bethnal Green, London to see John Prescott holding up his Blackberry to show off the ‘New Earth Deal‘ climate change campaign website.
Prezza then spoke about “chimate clange” and the causes of “globals warning“.
But if Prezza is to be Al Gore, he needs to select the science he will champion. first up: mobile phones kill crops:
It seems like the plot of a particularly far-fetched horror film. But some scientists suggest that our love of the mobile phone could cause massive food shortages, as the world’s harvests fail.
They are putting forward the theory that radiation given off by mobile phones and other hi-tech gadgets is a possible answer to one of the more bizarre mysteries ever to happen in the natural world – the abrupt disappearance of the bees that pollinate crops.
The theory is that radiation from mobile phones interferes with bees’ navigation systems, preventing the famously homeloving species from finding their way back to their hives. Improbable as it may seem, there is now evidence to back this up.
Mobile phones heat up the oceans
Chinese state media have of course been silent on the next environmental disaster China is causing for the world, but fortunately, the Dutch media are on top of it. While in China the number of mobile callers is rapidly nearing the half billion, a group of fifty scientists in Columbia have revealed that mobile phones contribute to global warming.
Not the batteries are the problem, but the billions of calls heat up the waves.
And what of that swanky new website Prezza is championing? Well:
Websites kill the planet
Dr. Alexander Wissner-Gross, Environmental Fellow at Harvard University studying the environmental impact of computing, says that each second of web browsing generates around 20 milligrams of CO2…
Shocker Statistic:
% of world’s greenhouse gases created by the manufacturing, use and disposal of information and communication technology: 2%
% of world’s greenhouse gases created by the entire aviation industry: 2%
Says vomiting Prezza: “Better out than in…”
