Things I never expected to hear a politician say

The Guardian interviews Alistair Darling, the Chancellor of the Exchequer (==finance minister) of the UK:

"Now Alistair," [his press adviser] tells him firmly when eventually we sit down for the interview, "tell her everything. Make sure you tell her everything."

"The economic times we are facing are arguably the worst they've been in sixty years. And I think it's going to be more profound and long-lasting than people thought... People are pissed off with us. We really have to make our minds up; are we ready to try and persuade this country to support us for another term?"

Conversation in the car this morning

Alex is driving and playing baroque music on the radio; Marn is coding on zir laptop.

Marn: Well, this is how every day should begin. Lots of coding and listening to Bach.
Alex: I do that all day. Well, not always Bach. But often Bach.
Marn: What, like Orpheus in the Underworld? ... Wait, was that deliberate?

I wish the one song people knew from Chumbawamba had been this one.

Update: Did you know Chumbawamba had a blog these days? Highlights include why they're not playing "That Song" at present and why it is that fascists have clean feet.

PSA: The jester poster

I asked the author of the jester picture to tell me if she ever made prints, and an hour ago she emailed me to tell me there are posters available (NSFW). I remember at least two of you were interested. The rest of her work is beautiful too.

€15 is about US$21.
