Moon Unit and friends

Nothing. But then again..............
There is a supplementary Letters section to allow the proles to vent their collective spleen over the 'taxpayers money for political campaign' nonsense - and quite right too. I read a couple of the epistles (or edited extracts from, more like) and there was not a one supporting the way the Headmistress is predictably heading. She appears to want to make any law change surrounding this matter retrospective for God's sake. She will have the house lemmings of all political flavours queueing up to vote for that without any worry. Words like 'arrogance', 'unacceptable' and 'dictator' figured quite prominently in the letters I read. All jolly good, but useless now. It's what you do one Saturday in a couple of years time that counts. As I noted before. Parliament is in recess for a couple of weeks at the moment. Why? They don't sit for more than a couple of weeks before they troop off for a cup of tea and a lie down. No point asking them why this happens as it is just the original patsy question asking for the response about committee work, valuable time in the constituency, supervising the business of their departments etc. etc. Don't expect the truth - going to directors' meetings, having a lie in and going down the boozer. When they eventually return to apply their noses to the trough, oops I mean grindstone, we are sure to have several contentious issues that have to be rushed through under 'urgency'.
A syndicated piece (from Newsweek?) documenting the mainstreaming of environmentalism in big business. Is Tesco (the UK's largest supermarket chain) getting all touchy feely and concerned about the planet? Are they bollocks. They are making a huge financial killing out of doing all sorts of sensible things like burning food waste for energy instead of throwing it away - or more correctly paying someone to take it away. Dress all this up in a dolphin suit, run a special on tofu and you are laughing all the way to your local branch of NatWest.
I now know where all Hollywood 'stars' who wish to have a bisexual union for the purpose of procreation should be forced to live. Malaysia. They have just banned certain names as being registerable handles for babies. You cannot stroll down to the Kuala Lumpur Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages and fill out the forms for little Stalin Hitler Wong. 007 Chan ain't going to make it into the big leather bound tome either. If we forced the Frank Zappas of the world to move to Trengganu we would be spared the following:
Moon Unit - Frank Zappa
Apple - Chris Martin/Gwyneth Paltrow
Misty Kyd - Sharleen Spiteri (who's she?)
Geronimo - Alex James
Heavenly Hirani Tiger Lily - Michael Hutchence/Paula Yates
Dandelion - Keith Richards
Dweezil - Frank Zappa
Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q - Bono
Zowie Bowie - David Bowie
Rufus Tiger - Roger Taylor
