Bye Bye Slobbo

Great news from The Hague - Slobodan Milosevic is dead. Nature has done what the farcical UN tribunal could not do in 5 years: delivered a measure of justice. And saved the world the expense of keeping him in jail. It's a great pity, however, that his fellow Serbs didn't have the chance to mete out retribution after his insane war-mongering regime, dedicated to a glorious Greater Serbia, collapsed. Now what we need is for Mladic & Karadzic to die in a horrible car crash, preferably together.

Frivol, Frivol, Frivol

Yes, yes. I know we're celebrating the first decade of the Reign of King John, but the most startling thing on the news (apart from the usual killing & maiming in Iraq & other very hot places) was Julia Gillard's new hair. Burnt orange with black blodges. So chic. So stylish. So, so... what was she thinking?
