Isn't this business about Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross getting a bit out of hand.

Yes they were cruel and I'm not condoning what they did but for the Prime Minister to take it up, c'mon Boredom Grown surely the pitiful state of the economy after those greedy bastards in the banks had finished lining their pockets or the war in Congo are just a bit more important than a pair of overgrown schoolboys.

And as for Call Me Dave, we know the Tory game here, they still havn't forgive the BBC for impartial reporting throughout the Thatcher/Major years.

I see that Muslim artist Sarah Maple has upset certain sections of the Muslem community with some of her artworks that are presently on display at the SaLon Gallery (their poncy use of upper case) in Notting Hill.

The Muslim Association of Britain has demanded that SaLon remove Maple’s paintings.

Vice-president Mokhtar Badri, said “Although we condemn violence, Muslims have a right to express their disgust at this work,an artist has the right to free speech and to express him or herself, but people also have the right to protest.”

Yes Mr Badri that is right, you have the right to protest, but not the right to prevent people from seeing Maple's work, that is the artist's right to free speech. If you are offended by the work just keep out of the gallery and don't look at it, its that simple.

Saw a picture of Sarah Palin spoting a pair of jeans in the paper this morning and I thought she looked a bit of alright. I guess this is after the revelation about how much dosh has been spent on her wardrobe and hair. Blimey how much is a red suit at Primark and a visit to Specsavers?

I also thought she must be quite a good sport to go head to head with her impersonator on Saturday Night Live.

Of course this new look and sense of humour does not stop her from being a mad, pro gun, anti evolution, anti choice nutter who hates polar bears who has given her kids stupid names. I mean has she any idea what a living hell growing up imn Britain with the name Bristol would have been for a girl.

What was even more scary was seeing some Americans give reasons for supporting McCain over Obama on Channel 4 News. It seems Obama's views on a woman's right to choose and guns control don't appeal to some voters. How come having a gun is OK, but not a woman's right to decide what she does with her own body?

I really don't understand why people in the world's leading economy can't get the idea that if guns were harder to come by then perhaps less of them would end up getting shot. OK I can live with people who want a rifle for hunting or protection from bears in the wilds of Alaska, but it seems you can buy anything from a pistol to a heavy machine gun in an armorers, why?

In case you are wondering I'd like Obama to win, but I have a creepping suspicion that its not all over yet. Obama's biggest liability is voter apathy, people who think he has it in the bag and don't bother, McCain and Palin will motivate the gun totin, bible bashing nutters. Don't let them win.
