Sun's marketing department are losing the plot

Why on Earth are Sun using Lee Hurst (a relatively famous, and indeed relatively funny comedian) in this advert (found attached to this week's Computer Weekly? There is, so far as I can see, nothing funny about this at all - they just used him as a model.

Or am I mistaken? Is it not him at all?

Why Bush doesn't want more inspections

Schrödinger’s Iraq

If you view Iraq in a classical Newtonian framework, then you must concede that they either do or do not have weapons of mass destruction. It is this narrow mindset that causes such confusion in the uninformed.

But, over President’s Day weekend at Camp David, I delved into the collected writings of Erwin Schrödinger, and now have no recourse but to conclude that Saddam both has and does not have weapons of mass destruction.

Robert Mugabe

It's Robert Mugabe's 79th birthday today. Happy, birthday, Bob.

Now hurry up and die, you fucker.

What the French are up to, hosting a summit for a bunch of murderous old African dictators, I can't begin to imagine.
