Nixta Sinks

I's watching you! Nice cranium...

Yeah, I'm scraping the barrel, but having that lengthy tirade/brocade/blockade about my work-related struggles at the top of this blog has got me down so much that I am no longer surprised that no-one is writing me comments, let alone any new emails.

So I thought I'd pick up on and mention briefly the news (which I'm sure everyone's read) that appointment of top officials in the US is being undermined by members of the population who aren't even allowed to vote (like me, though I'm allowed at least to pay taxes). This, for a democracy, is a fantastic achievement, and they didn't even have to go to all the trouble of deciphering one of this country's ballot papers. Chads? Heh. [ I swear I decided to use Mary Poppins in reference to nannies before I found that last article ]

Mary Poppins, move over, we have illegal nannies on the books and paying no heed to the achievements of their employers we'll have to make sure that a secondary or tertiary choice is used for the post. Not sure old Gee Dubya can count that far - I'm sure he has a good team of advisors though who can take a number each and work on it.

Mmmm. Rice. Just like in Nam

In his role as all powerful evil mastermind overlord, Bush does a sterling job in these photos in looking over his cronies' shoulders (pictures courtesy of the Beeb).

Is it me, or does he look like he's contemplating eating their brains (or controlling their minds)? He almost looks like he knows something about them we don't, and that's how he's going to make sure they do what he wants and not what we want (not that we can vote).

When I apply for my nanny job next week, remind me to fill in the requisite tax forms.
