THE QUESTION OF THE DAY
After I had been told that these new "salads" at MacDees' are apparently quite nice I overcame my inhibition against the place and tried one today; not bad, but not really much going for it either. But the sauce really caught my attention and leads me to ask, why George Bush is being used for advertising purposes in a non-ironic manner?

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Lee Harris writes:

Marriage was [. . . .]defined as between a man and a woman? Well, yes, but only in the sense that a cheese omelet is defined as an egg and some cheese — without the least intention of insulting either orange juice or toast by their omission from this definition. Orange juice and toast are fine things in themselves — you just can’t make an omelet out of them.

But isn’t he comparing apples and oranges here . . .

UNFORTUNATE TURN OF PHRASE
In a column in which Ferdinand Mount criticises the lack of a social conseravtive approach to improving society there’s this:

How long before the compensation culture spreads north and young offenders are condemned to make nothing riskier than daisy chains?

Make Daisy chains? Yes, but I assume that thery’re already quite busy at that.

2005 ELECTION LOG: ELECTION BROADCASTS
In case you haven’t been guided there by any other means yet, let me point you to these party political broadcasts. The really surprising thing I found about them was the slick quality. You really could easily mistake them for real, and they only go slightly over the top with the message too.

2005 ELECTION LOG: THE REAL POSTERS
Probably the best collection of election posters is Blimpish, who has been avidly Photoshopping away these past days. Go immediately hence and have a look at his poster designs for the
Conservatives, 1, 2, 3
Labour
1, 2, 3, 4
and even Respect, 1, 2

He also has some shocking revelations about the origins of one of our major politicians, but see for yourself . . .

AM I GAY?
After the last online sould-searching test, I though I might do another, just to make sure about that sexuality thing. So, Channel 4’s Gayometer reassures me that

TIMMYHAWK IS 46% GAY!
Congratulations! You’ve scored right in the middle and are a well adjusted and happy hetero man!

What a boring result. And quite surprising given some of the things people used to say about me . . . But that’s a story for another day. . .

LABOUR PLEDGES
Well Labour has certainly secured its election victory now. As its new pledges boldy proclaim:

"Your family better off", "Your family treated better and faster", "Your child achieving more", "Your country's borders protected", "Your community safer" "Your children with the best start".

How on earth do the Conservatives, with their pledges of “Making your family worse off” “Your country’s borders open for criminals and terrorists” and “we’ll make your community drown in violent crime”, and the LibDems, with their pledges of “your child will be left behind” and “Your family being treated later and worse”, believe they stand any kind of chance. They will be simply laughed off. So, when the snap election happens in two weeks time -and this is a serious rumour going around Westminster village- Labour will completely destroy all opposition. Alternatively, people might think the pledges are just election gimmicks and the slogans used a little too vague to be of any use. I wonder.

NOT IN A PARTICULARLY SERIOUS MOOD TODAY . .
. . . so here’s some stuff that’s not particurlarly serious, picked up in different places over the past few days:
-Demons in my pants! (Pay particular attention to the age of those involved and the total number of congregation members!)
-“I’m ambitious”
-Volkswagen gets with the times
-Serious action against the demographic downturn!
-Slow progress in Iraq? Blame the wrong sand!
-Talking of Iraq: a spotlight on occupation troops running amok . . .
- . . . and it gets worse. Sheer evilness.
-World Beard and Moustache Championships, I wont be entering though
-this is quite sweet, though I’m not quite sure what to make of the product title? I mean how would you . . . Oh, never mind.
More riveting stuff where that came from too
-I’m not quite sure whether this is real.
-Muslims for sale, and more (particularly the “jihad”).

Well, I leave it at that, have a nice day.

ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN AND SINGLE?
Feeling lonely? Just can’t find the rigth partner to go forth and multiply? Well, help is at hand:

If you're interested in meeting and dating quality christian singles - then we are your perfect choice!

You bet. At least it remains serious by helpfully reminding us of the words from the good Book:

“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and they will become one flesh” Genesis 2:24


I know I shouldn’t mock this sort of thing, you know, being an Anglican myself and it being the Lord’s day all that, but still there’s something slightly comical about the whole thing.


Update:Some useful tips on marriage.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Via Laban Tall’s, I bring you this:

Listening to banjo music is a bit like dressing up in women’s clothing and masturbating in front of ‘Bargain Hunt’.

Hmm.

HAWKISH GUARDIAN READER
Occasionally us Guardian readers are accused of being soft on security issues, on being doves and all that. Not all like that though, and certainly here’s one you can’t really accuse of being an instinctive pacifist. Hawkish indeed, or what that be Jaguarish?

PRODUCT PLACEMENT OF THE WEEK
Found via NRO, I just love this:

You don't support Democrats.
Why should your ketchup?
W Ketchup(tm) is made in America, from ingredients grown in the USA.

See it, to believe it. It certainly gives the word partisan taste a new meaning. At least it's for a good cause:

A portion of every sale is donated to the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships for the children of active duty service members killed in the line of duty.
