This is a really interesting and well argued piece.

From the official site of the 'Hillary Clinton for President Exploratory Committee'

You can vote for Hillary's presidential campaign song. Choose from 'I'm a believer', 'Ain't no stoppin us now', 'Simply the best' and other greats. Lame.

I'm a scientific atheist. Didn't really need a quiz to tell me that, I suppose...

Following the death of Jerry Falwell (dotted yesterday), the Indy has a round-up of exciting televangelists. My personal favourite is Jimmy Swaggart:

Following the 11 September attacks, he called Mohamed a "sex deviant" and a paedophile, advocated racial profiling of Arabs - everyone, in his words, "with a diaper on their head and a fan-belt around their waist"

Mr Falwell led a fight against abortion, homosexuality and feminism. "Aids is not just God's punishment for homosexuals, it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals," he said.

Forget Bushisms, we need some wallcharts and stuff of Prescottisms:

"I notice in the papers and on the television, you have now brought in a new person now to get people to vote Tory - Mr Tosser! "

For DF, after our conversation on Sunday:

Maj-Gen Patrick Cordingly, who commanded the Desert Rats during the 1991 Gulf War, said he was depressed that personnel had been used "almost as a propaganda tool" and said army personnel had been ordered not to sell stories to the media.

Interesting commentary on the Iran hostage situation by the Indy's veteran Middle East correspondant.

Bitching. I knew Rubik's cubes must serve some sort of useful purpose.
