Rainbow Coalition
2007-10-16 20:20:00 I can't believe that idiot gave me all his clothes just for that stupid hat. The Phoenix Godzillas ain't even a real team. Oh shit. My hair just exploded. Twice.--NattyWho knew you could rub black people on balloons and get them super static-y? The playful giant at the balloon factory that this poor soul stumbled upon, thats who.-JQPRemember that song "Afro Puffs" by Lady of Rage? Of course you don't. I was walking by the check cashing palce the other day and I saw that she was hanging around outside yelling into her cellphone that she was too friends with Kenan Thompson and that he better take her motherfucking call. Love,Brett Scieszka
M4 Ministers
2007-06-02 01:47:00 Much has been made of Rhodri's so-called 'Glamorganshire Cabinet' (see below for Mumph's take on it). It is certainly odd that the only people deemed to have any ministerial talent hark from a narrow corridor in South Wales. This plays right into the hands of Ieuan Wyn Jones, of course.

Even though they voted by 9-3 to suspend talks with Labour last week, a number of Lib Dem legends and Peter Black are thought to be against teaming up with Plaid and the Tories.
