NEWS HERE, which will allow us all to sleep so much easier in our beds in the middle of the day. (Isn't that when most civilised people take a kip?).

"In Washington, where proximity is power, one question is where the new department will be headquartered.

"I've heard Crystal City, Pentagon City, across the river, over hill, over dale, but if I were secretary I'd urge that the department be downtown," said Paul Light, senior fellow at The Brookings Institution.

"It sounds mundane but all of the little things that give you an identity in this town are important: stationery, a flag, a logo and they'd better have a Web site open pretty soon," Light said.

Another sensitive topic: Uniforms.

"Uniform decisions have not been made yet," said Johndroe. "We'd expect over time there would be some uniformity of the law enforcement officers of this department in terms of attire, but we will respect the longstanding traditions of many of these agencies."


Yes sirree, the new Department of Homeland Security in its attention to detail is leaving no stone unturned. Smart stationary, an impressive flag, a kickarse logo and all those neatly pressed uniforms are going to show those terrorist bastards that this is a Department not to be messed with.

Dare I suggest this is another example of the great American maxim, which applies to its films, TV programmes and food, that if you package and promote it well enough you can sell the population mindless, tasteless and worthless crap. Fear I'm being a bit harsh there ... shall sit back with a Quarter Pounder and a Starbucks *coffee* and reflect on that.

We have been given a plug HERE at Mandarin Design. This follows my posting a comment about an entry about a bit of scripting on their site which I totally misread and made a goose of myself. But stupidity has its rewards.

(Actually goosing oneself is not altogether an unpleasant experience. A little surprise, a little frisson, a little "I must do that more often".)

PAUL MORGAN HAS BEEN SPOTTED OFF LLANDUDNO.


Yes, missing Welsh diplomat, Paul 'Organ' Morgan, has almost returned to our foetid fold with his unique brand of porno photos and...well...more porno photos. In a recent e-mail sent to Yours Truly, Organ expressed his deepest apologies for having been absent for some time, explaining his deplorable conduct as being due to financial pressures and lack of computer. He also added, "Please pass this message on to Terry Sedgwick...swivel on it you bearded wombat fingerer."


With a bit of luck Mr Organ will be returning to this Blogger Board shortly...although in what capacity it's difficult to determine. Stay tuned folks...





A strictly simple picture.


Wacko Spakko!


Michael Jackson has apologised for stupidly dangling his baby (Prince Albert Piercing the Third) over the balcony of a hotel somewhere in his latest publicity stunt. A horrified crowd watched as a white bundle of flesh and muslin hurtled to the pavement below. Fortunately this turned out to be just Jacko's face falling off again.


"I don't know what everyone was so upset about," Monkey loving gargoyle Jackson said. "I was only showing the baby off. It's a step up from buggering them."


As yet nobody is sure to whom the baby belongs. When asked about this, Jackson replied, "Of course he's mine. I found him under a gooseberry bush in my fairgound." Geneticists are far from convinced.

"It certainly can't be Jackon's," said Dr Scrotum of the University of Leeds. "The child is clearly white and, despite his allegedly incurable skin-whitening disease, unless Jackon's changed his genetic structure then any of his off-spring should be coffee-coloured in the palest extreme."

Following photographs released of Jacko in court the other day it's difficult to tell whether any child of his would even be human any more. However, in response to the question, "Who is 'Danger Baby's real father?" Uri Gellar, psychic tosspot and close personal friend of the moonwalking moron said, "Fuck nose," thus confirming Jackon's original statement.



Deputy editor posts late breaking news:-

Jackos' defence counsel Sir Jeffrey Dahmer O.B.E. called Dr. Steven Wonder, a perceptual pathologist, as a specialist witness for the defence. Dr. Wonder explained to the jury that Michael had significant perceptual difficulties.

"Miechal had a rare from of dicklexia which developed after an operneration during which bone that was taken from around his eyes and attatched to the hole in his face (the organ formerly known as "Nose"). This caused his eyeballs periodically fall out of thier sockettes."

"It comes as no spurrise to me that when reading Dr. Spock's bock on child rearing parctices that Micehal misinterpretated some of the advice."

Dr. Wonder gave some examples, some of which evidently impressed the jury. Jury foreperson Mrs. Elizabeth Rosemond Hilton-Wilding-Todd-Fisher-Burton-Burton-Warner-Fortensky. was seen several time nodding and smiling knowingly to fellow juror Mr. Orenthal Simpson. One juror who can't be named, Mr. James Durante, appeared unimpressed.

Dr. Wonder explained that the advice to "dandle your child" was misread by Mihceal as "dangle", likewise the instruction to "constantly amuse your child" was understandably seen as "abuse" The artist formerly known as "a right bleeding cot case" was so seriously affected by this condition that he almost always mistook the phrase "common decent human behavior" as meaning "Hello little boy, do you want to meet my special friend "Mr. Twinkynob" who lives in my underpants?".

The jury is still out. They are due back from their all expenses paid trip to "Never Never Land" later this evening.

More distressing news in the letterbox today.


Dear Mr. Sedgwick,

It is with regret that we have to inform you that Ms. Peggy Farcus, after a short recovery, has slipped back into her previous comatose state.

As you are aware Ms. Farcus had regained limited use of her communication faculties as a result of the laying on of hands by the Very Reverend Steven Gilallen. Ms. Farcus woke from the coma shouting "You take your grubby frigging hands off my naughty parts you dog collared little shit, I know what your game is you filthy prevert of the cloth. Don't think you're going spill your sermon on my mound. This here temple of beauty is not for the likes of you to enter and turn over me tables."

The Very Reverend was conveyed to the Intensive Care Unit in a serious but unstable condition. His P.A. Sister Robyn de Riche is maintaining a constant bedside vigil, tending his swollen groin with 40DD hot poultices.

Ms. Farcus' condition continued to improve in the following days. The return of her prodigious appetite saw her wolfing down bucket after bucket of tripe and onions.

Sadly her appetite was to be her undoing. A parcel arrived at the hospital from England, but unfortunately Nurse Lawson who vets deliveries upon arrival was apparently giving the new intern a hand in the broom cupboard. The parcel was taken directly to Ms. Farcus who despatched the contents to her digestive juices in a trice.

It is strict policy not to allow patients access to food which has not been prepared by the hospital kitchen. Our canteen staff are fully trained in the preparation of genetically modified offal and stringently adhere to the standards of N.E.I.G.E.N.Q.W.B.P.B.W.G.A.S. (Near Enough Is Good Enough, Not Quite World Best Practice But Who Gives A Shit?). There is an embargo on all foodstuffs of British origin since the outbreak of that country's virulent "TV Chef's disease".

Ms. Farcus' stomach was pumped and she was put on an antidotal intravenous Vegemite drip, however I have to say the prognosis is not good.

Dr. Bruce Crippen, our pathologist reports that examination of the contents of Ms. Farcus' stomach reveals that she had ingested a potentially fatal cocktail of grapes, haemorrhoid cream, hair dye, anthrax spores and minute traces of KY jelly.

The report has been forwarded to both Interpol and the Department of Homeland Security. Whilst it is believed that this is an isolated and personal attack, the Australian Federal Police have already conducted dawn raids on Mosques right across Australia. Omar Papa and 342,328 other persons of Middle Eastern appearance are assisting the police and their sadly under utilised batons with their investigation.

The attending specialists have requested that I impress upon you the gravity of Ms. Farcus' present condition and that the presence of yourself and your cheque book (noting that your previous cheque drawn on the Bank of Ghana still awaits clearance) would be of inestimable value.

Yours sincerely
Mildred Ratched.
CEO, Kalgoorlie General Hospital.
