No joke for London

Journal Entry: Sat May 3, 2008, 8:12 AM
YEARS ago there was a T-shirt slogan which ran: "The trouble with political jokes is that they get elected." This week London became the turkey that voted for Christmas.
It may also have been the week Labour began to lose its grip on power nationally - but I can't really bring myself to get too excited about one centrist party of personal and corporate aggrandisement losing out to another one.
If in the long run it means the rebirth of the Labour Party I was once a member of from the ashes of the parody that took over the name, it might even turn out to be a good thing. But I won't be holding my breath.

I've never favourited so many works by one deviant in one visit as I did when stumbling on *ISMAILEREN's amazing gallery. He doesn't have as good a camera as most of us dA snappers, but his jaw-dropping subjects and his deeply intelligent and humane attitude make his array of images of Afghanistan and its people a must-see - one of the few collections on here I'd describe as important. I shall be writing about him at greater length at some point. In the meantime, consider the pics I've picked out here, go see the rest for yourselves - and tell him I sent you.

    Ha a személyiség tengelye az önzés, a centrifugális erők egyensúlyban tartják a centripetálisakat, ha azonban valamely valóságos vagy ké;pzelt kötelesség körül fordul a személyiség, a centrifugális erőt egyéb meg nem kötheti...

    Thank you Aidan for taking the time to respond with your comments on my recent poll.

    The different responses have been most interesting.
    Rather than reply individually to each person with my ramblings, I thought I would post the link for all to read in my next journal.

    Stay tuned
    :-)

    Thanks, Bart. I know how deeply the US is split on all these issues. Even the divided responses to my journal piece reveal that. Mind you, if you read my previous one, you'll see that I can't quite agree with your last line :D

    Thanks for the faves and watch and even more so for the journal story on Jason Washburn.
    Please let UK and Euro folks know that many, many Americans hate this war, hate what Bush, Chaney and all are doing to our country and it's young men and the rest of the world.
    They (the Bush people) should all be hung.
