This week the west bank of the Thames was witness to yet another of the Blogosphere's attempted character assassinations. It is believed that the revered leader of the Humafis group, the blind cleric Sheik Mohammed Blunkett, was intended to be the victim of what the government of Blogland admits is an official policy to stop […]
Read MoreBefore I start, people of the 'Blogosphere, could we have some snappier names for your 'Blogs, please? There is a thoughtful and thought-provoking recent post at God Save The Queen. If you haven't already, you should enjoy this amusing and surreal Colin Powell story at What You Can Get Away With. Meet Mia in Hong […]
Read MoreIn the absence of anything amusing from me, read someone else. I've added Mick Hartley's 'Blog to the PooterGeek 'Blogroll, having inspected it at the recommendation of Backword Dave. You might want to wander over and enjoy the righteous kicking Mick gives Bianca Jagger today—no, not that Mick. I salute a man ready to lay […]
Read MoreIraq begins self-rule ahead of schedule. NATO promises 10 000 troops to secure Afghanistan's upcoming elections. Evidence appears in support of the Accelerated Life Theory of Britney Spears, within hours of my first postulating it. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything to write about any of these things.
Read MoreFor Backword Dave and Timbeaux and any other 'Bloggers interested, here's my list of gripes/tips from my two weeks of using WordPress: You can get yourself in a terrible mess if you forget who you are logged in as. Don't. WP takes forever to timeout from pinging back URLs when you press Publish, so just […]
Read MoreAs requested by Timbeaux, here's my report on the new software running this site: WordPress (WP). Like a zombie twin, my original Movable Type installation is still shuffling along in the same directory of the same server, delivering old pages to the local people. Despite this, PooterGeek coped fine with the Geras-lanche of outsiders yesterday. […]
Read MoreHe torments the Greens and he has a Right-wing 'Blog called “The Edge of England's Sword“. I once half-praised and half-condemned an occasional contribution from Iain Murray's wife, Kris, but this outburst from her yesterday was completely and hilariously sharp. [Yes, that was intentional. I pun and am proud, thank you.]
Read MoreLast week, Backword Dave sneered at Eve Garrard's cool, analytical dismantling of Amnesty's recent pronouncements about the Iraq “war”: “I gather Ms Garrard is not a regular blogger, so she may be excused understanding of the ground rules, but if you want to say that something is 'no part of Amnesty's remit,' a link is […]
Read MoreThat Norm and the other denizens of TypePad disappeared for a while yesterday, but we still had this Norm to entertain us. [You might have to lower the resolution of your screen to make its tiny text readable.]
Read MoreJudith tried to post a comment nominating Victor Davis Hanson as a rival to Mark Steyn for the Best Columnist Working In The English Language award, but the currently flaky PooterGeek site rejected her submission, so I'm posting it here. She recommended this piece by VDH. Funnily enough, “Backword Dave“, who links to me occasionally […]
Read MoreGod Save The Queen is an excellent, thoughtful, new 'Blog. In contrast to PooterGeek, I doubt its author will ever storm out of the bathroom mid-shower to denounce something he's just heard on BBC Radio 4. The latest two posts there are insightful about the successful exercise of state power through history. Claire [the llama […]
Read MoreBlack Triangle‘s taking a break, so, by way of tribute: for the Nth time, people, taking echinacea doesn’t protect you against the common cold, but it does protect rip-off merchants from bankruptcy.
Read MoreDon’t, whatever you do, browse “everything2“. If you start you won’t finish until it has sucked your life away. One of the contributors goes by the username “spackle“. This will now be one of my most out-of-date ‘Blog entries because he wrote the following in 2001, under the title “Strange things homeless people have said […]
Read MoreIain Murray over at “The Edge of England’s Sword” needs a link from me as much as Celine Dion needs me to approve of her singing. His Right-leaning ‘Blog makes a hell of a lot more sense than Samizdata and he’s sent some traffic my way today so I’m happy to reciprocate. It is a […]
Read MoreYou, dear Reader, probably won’t have noticed, but I have been irritated over the past few months by ‘Blog spam. The same people who write to you offering to enlarge your breasts/penis now post fake links to ‘Blogs. They have targeted PooterGeek in the hope of borrowing my legendary Google karma for their own tawdry […]
