Obama vs. Kim Jong Il and Robert Mugabe
Can Barack Obama rival two superhero leaders of the Third World? The Western world needs an answer to these awesome men and Gordon Brown does not seem poised to fulfill this role. Certainly, we cannot allow for these upstarts to usurp authority. Kim Jong Il, Leader of North Korea, modestly goes about his business, while [...]
Are there more gay men?
There seems to be more news stories these days about how men are becoming more feminine due to the increased levels of estrogen in the waters. It makes me wonder, are there more gay men around? I’ve noticed over the years, as homosexuality has become more widely accepted, that there are a lot more gays [...]
The New Melting Pot
I am increasingly frustrated by people of various backgrounds who demand changes by well-established organizations to meet their own ethnic and religious requirements. Not that I don’t believe in equal rights. It’s just that sometimes we go too far, bending over backwards to accommodate all these groups that we start to lose our own original [...]
Beware the Killer Ants!
Batten down the hatches, they’re on their way! Of course they are. Just as a few years earlier the killer bees, killer rats and swarms of killer locusts were scheduled to reach our shores. All we got was a luckless chilled Tarantula in a Sainsbury’s warehouse that had snuck in to a crate of imported [...]
Assisted suicide should not be an answer

Sometimes I’m very pessimistic, but for the most part, I think I’m [...]
How many government workers does it take to look out a window?
Imagine a new reality TV show with CCTV cameras focused on government workers working. Wait a minute here! Government workers? Isn’t that an oxymoron? And add “working†to it, it sounds unbelievable. How could it be a reality TV show? You’re right. It’s too bizarre, not to mention too boring. Watching a bunch of “government [...]
An un-Glitter-y Syllabus
Gary Glitter’s number 1 UK single “I’m the Leader of the Gang” was on the GCSE music syllabus. However, it has been removed subsequent to complaints about its inclusion after it was spotted by a deputy head teacher. This action has provoked some thought. From a personal perspective, I have never heard Glitter’s hit song. [...]
Let’s control the native population birth rate
A couple of doctors are urging other doctors in the UK to discuss family planning with their patients. Sounds reasonable. But when you get down into the arguments for this family planning, it becomes farcical, illogical and ultimately, unsustainable. The reasons quoted for this “new†idea of birth control is the increased carbon gas emissions [...]
