We will never see her like again.

As predictable as snow in January, here it comes again.

Clueless moron and Guardian journalist Jonathan Freedland can't tell the difference between Mud and the King.



Oh well. Merry Christmas, Elvis, wherever you are.

I must say I find that nice Mr. Obama a peculiarly unconvincing public speaker. That stilted, measured, hesitant, tone. Why's that supposed to be reassuring? And the repetitions. I ain't the first to notice it. And he was it again yesterday when babbling on about so-called Man Made Global Warming. Seven more years of such buffoonery? I don't think so. That sexy Mrs. Palin must have a pretty good chance of taking over in three years' time, if only to save the US electorate from dying of boredom.

You can tell it's Christmas when Baroness Warnock makes another heartfelt plea to be put out of her misery. I refer my friend to the answer I gave some moments ago. Actually, five years ago. Five years? How long have I been doing this blogging business? Too bleeding long, I say. Maybe I too should be put out of my misery.

Don't answer that.

No, I was not.

Liberal Democrat supporter ( there's always one ) Yasmin "The Yazzmonster" Alibhai-Brown is today contemplating the vexed issue of the class war. Especially toffs. It's like, complicated and stuff:

"I can't stand their lifestyles but can't resist their company".

I wonder if that cuts both ways.

"My feelings towards top cultural operators are similarly ambiguous. I resent the places they occupy and pass on down to their own, but envy and want their self belief, yearning to be AA Gill".

Why? The guy's a total pillock. I'd rather have the self belief of a baboon, myself.

"I sent my kids to private schools to get that polish and certainty. Now I wonder if that was the right thing to do".

Indeed it was, but not for polish and certainty. One of the few advantages of sending your kids to private school is that they've got more than an outside chance of learning how to read. I appreciate that a lot of egalitarians send their children to state-run schools in order to suppress this instinct. They really do want their children to grow up not being able to read the Bible, or even the Independent. Much easier to inculcate their weird beliefs in Richard Dawkins and Global Warming that way. My worry is, if this works out, there will be nowhere else for them to turn. Thirteen to fifteen years of being oppressed by government agents, and now the poor blighters are going to be forced into reading too. The cruelty of the compassionate classes knows few bounds.

And now we know why.

Liz Jones spends a week pretending to be on the dole and discovers that life is tough:

I looked at the teenager at the till and thought how awful I must have seemed a couple of weeks before when I had marched up to her and said 'Why is your wine so cheap? Don't you have anything vaguely expensive?', and I humbly apologised.

Yes, of course you did.

The idea that a politician, somehow, can't have it both ways is seriously deluded.

If the Guardian banned the use of the words "Daily Mail" and "seal the deal" it might almost be worth reading.

Jon Worth, who by all accounts is a bloke, bemoans the rising tide of men:

"Of the 27 heads of government at today's summit in Brussels, 26 are male". He simpers.

"What sort of sign does that send to Europe's citizens? Essentially that the EU is a closed, gentlemen's club".

Depends whose receiving the signal. Not all of us care.

"Some Brussels-based bloggers were not content with the state of affairs and decided to act to change things. Maria Weimer, Eurosocialiste and I launched Gender Balanced Commission 72 hours ago. The website has a petition demanding that at least one-third of the European commissioners should be women and that the European parliament should not approve the Commission unless this is the case. In the short time the campaign has been running we have received an overwhelming response, both online and in the mainstream media across Europe".

Overwhelmingly negative, I trust. We're not all interfering liberaloids.

The most annoying thing about that Henry fellow is the way football commentators routinely refer to him as Thierry Henry. I can't think of any other player who gets his full name read out every time he touches the ball. Hey, we know who he is.
