George Dubya Bush drinking - Who would have thought?

The world knows George Dubya Bush has a drink problem and well done to him if he has overcome it.

But do you ever get the sneaking suspicion that all is not what it seems. The camera never lies as this video shows



Okay - you can make anyone appear drunk if you slow down the tape. But why go to the trouble when you can get the real thing if you look around.

A Million Thank Yous

Do you ever feel the world is a terrible place? Here we all are spinning around on this wondrous globe going about our business and what do we get? Well not very much when you think of it. Some of us are lucky to do what we like or get paid a lot of money or get some fame or happiness. I don't know who these people are but I would surely like to be one of them.

For the rest of us life is nasty, brutish and short and for all the things that we do - all the good things - do we get any thanks? Even a little acknowledgment that something we did was really helpful would be nice - fat chance.

It's a good thing we have blogging to compensate for the lack of recognition and more to the point we can find lots of lovely sites that make our day. Which is why you should check out A Million Thank Yous

You won't get to a million but a few dozen might be enough to give you the strength to get through the day.

Jedi Squirrels Terrorise Neighbourhood Parks

Park officials are becoming increasingly worried about the activity of squirrels in London's Hyde Park. Spokesperson Luke Nofurther said, "It was bad enough having to watch them nibbling their nuts but this is serious. They seem to be fighting among themselves."

He explained, "At first it seemed to be just playful but now they have all gotten light sabres - I blame the big asthmatic one in the black cloak."


Passers-by have also become worried. One said, "The kiddies loved to watch their antics but since the fencing started it's been hell. My little boy wants to join them and conquer the known universe. I want him to finish Key Stage Three first."

The latest development is the unusual construction work going on near the Serpentine Lido. Luke Nofurther said, "They seem to have brought in some Polish squirrels to build something. Obviously it was a bigger job than the domestic squirrels could handle. There are rumours that it might be a new Death Star."

JFK - The Truth is Out There, Far Out There

A new conspiracy theory about the deaths of John F Kennedy and his 'assassin' has emerged after a new photograph of Lee Harvey Oswald's 'murder'. The photograph clearly shows Ruby did not shoot Oswald as alleged but was a close friend and a mean guitarist. What is supposed to be a murder is actually an impromptu performance of 'Jailhouse Rock.'



American tabloid journalist, Saul Bollux, claims, "This is the truth - all those photos were clearly doctored to lead us a merry dance. Oswald was a singer - and a very good one too - but knew there was no future for his career back in the USSR. That's why he returned to Dallas."

Kennedy first met Oswald in the 1950s in a gay bar in Boston, Mass. "He was just seventeen - you know what I mean.", Bollux continued. "Kennedy was tiring of politics and wanted to escape. Pop music was the answer and his new gay lover offered that escape. But his father, Joe, wanted him to be President."

After his election the scene was set for JFK to engineer his own disappearance using Kennedy dollars and CIA know-how, claims Bollux. "Oswald was not the patsy - it was Jack Ruby. People have been sent to prison for crimes they didn't commit but his was a crime that didn't happen - his lawyer should have pointed it out but he was obviously in the pay of the Kennedys"

"The plan was to make everyone think JFK was dead and that his assassin was murdered - and it worked. The conspiracy theories only added to the myth. The truth is both Kennedy and Oswald left for a new life in Poughkeepsie, New York, where they had a little gay night club. Kennedy would often don pearls and twinset and Oswald his best tuxedo. They would sing duets from the Steve Lawrence and Edie Gorme songbook till the early hours."

"They were a local sensation. J Edgar Hoover was a regular but didn't approve of the cross-dressing - pearls weren't his jewelry of choice."

But what about the Zapruder film? "Zapruder-Schmapruder - the film was left in a vault for years until the technology was developed to make it look like Kennedys brain exploded like a pumpkin. All the time he was living it up in the fleshpots of Poughkeepsie while Oswald sang Elvis songs - he was one of the all-time great Elvis impersonators"

If accepted the theory of Saul Bollux looks like overturning every account of the Kennedy assassination the public has ever heard.

"This is the truth, man - everything else is just a footnote in history."
