TC and Garfield at Rocky Reunion Originally uploaded by JackRyder. Another test post from Flickr - this time of real people! That's TC who I played D&D with back in the late 1970s - he's now the manager of Napoleon's Military Bookshop. On the right is director/producer/writer and old housemate Garfield.

Change in direction I'm reviving this blog to host reviews and comments on the more marginalised popular cultural artifacts (e.g. video games, comics, and other things that aren't too marginalised on the net now that I think of it) My LiveJournal will contain the weird links that I used to post here.

What's your political orientation? Try the Political Compass For future reference my result was: Economic Left/Right: -7.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.21 which means I'm more anti-authoritarian and left wing than Gandhi. I must start drinking my own urine immediately

Why we are at war Please note that I disagree with much of this article but I do think the central metaphor is a good one. I do not see why, though, a struggle against the dark age of Islamofascism should lead us straight into a dark age of "radical conservatism". I'm against dark ages in general. And I just can't see Bush as Theseus. Minos, yes.

The Sex Scandal that wasn't The intern who didn't sleep with John Kerry tells her side of the story - and attempts to find out where the rumour started. Fascinated as I am with the US political scene at the moment, it hasn't produced many admirable characters. Alex Polier is an exception. You go, girl!

Why I can't vote Labour anymore You see, when our contemptible wanna-be Napoleon announced his government was banning gay marriages, I thought - at least Labour will stop this blatantly wedge-driven and totally discriminatory legislation in the Senate. Nah. They support it! This vile manifestation of religious homophobia has bipartisan support. Now Australia is back to denying basic rights to
