News roundup! Doo doo doo, doo doo doo etc
Mon, Feb. 13th, 2006 15:03Cheney shoots fellow hunter. Perhaps he thought it was a `Quayle'. Ahaaah hah hah hah hah. Ahem.
(Best headline so far: Cheney hunts quail and everyone else ducks.)
Blair to miss key ID cards vote: his plane get held up in Pretoria. Go on, you bastards, losebyonevote, losebyonevote....
On which note: ID cards backlash as Brown says they can halt suicide bombers (web headline does't match the dead-tree version). Yes, I hear the new proposal is for ID cards to be six feet square and made of Kevlar. Otherwise, WTF? I suppose it's nice to see a newspaper finally calling bullshit, even if it is the Scotsman.
In local news, I was just compelled to phone Jehane to tell her that, since the conference delegates had left a lot of their lunch untouched, I was standing here with a armful of hot-smoked peppered trout that required disposal by consumption. I don't even like fish, and this was marvellous.
Just been entertained (moderately) by the spectacle of the housekeeping staff struggling with the new vacuum cleaner, which has rapidly been denounced as ``evil''. Perhaps ironically, it sucks too much.
ETA: Thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
