Cynic, me?

.

Amy Winehouse was buried today bringing to an end a sad story. I noticed however the cynical manner with which the media covered the tale. The one regarded as 'Shameful,' who suffered 'Horrors,' all of her 'Own Making,' has lost the 'SHAME,' tag and now it has become, 'Tragic.'  The 'Sad' life of  'Poor Amy,' now brings out the sentiment from the 'popular press.'  Sympathy oozes from the media (in spite of which they continue to take 'up close' pics of tearful mourners) as they recognise many are saddened by her untimely death. So it is out with stories of 'drink and drug crazed happenings' and in with 'tears,' for the 'poor girl.'
Please let the tabloid press be closed down, please?



Our 'Dave' has run for the hills once again!  While he is on 'holiday,' his right hand man, no not Clegg, don't be silly, has been left in charge. William Hague, the Foreign Minister, is covering for the Prime Minister, and as we now expect from 'Dave' a major event is being unveiled when he is not around to comment.  The major event, and major it really is, appears to be the end of the Libyan conflict and not by military force as 'Dave' had hoped but by allowing President Gaddafi to resign his position and yet continue to live in Libya!  
 Brilliant!
First he attacks and expects Gaddafi to collapse like the other North African countries have under the Arab Spring, this does not happen.  Then the Yanks have decided two wars have been enough and they cannot afford to even lend us their aircraft anymore ('Dave' has sold of most of ours).  Now the French, our co-conspirators in this daft attack, are urging talks with Gaddafi and the suggestion that he can stand down and stay in Libya comes from them, they have a presidential election coming their way soon haven't they!  So William has to inform the world, under cover of the Norwegian tragedy, that it might be possible for an agreement to be reached!  
How the mad president must be rejoicing! Reagan, when awake, attempted to kill him and missed, we have tried it and missed also, wherever he is, and now we offer peace terms!  Does anyone really expect him to rush forward and kneel before us?  He realises he has the nap hand, he is on top, nothing can end him now can it?  Half his nation may have been lost, possibly most of his people are against him, but he has survived again and the mighty west are now seeking an end to a war they ought not to have started and have clearly lost!
Still, another 'U' Turn for 'Dave' is part of his 'Big Society' isn't it?  A 'U' Turn a day keeps the er, well it keeps his staff busy hiding him in foreign land if nothing else.  Another failure for this mistake of a PM.  Just how did he get his job I wonder, how did he get into such a position?

I don't know where you go this picture of Mo from, but that is sure one fine uniform for a mere colonel. Takes my breath away. Looks at least befitting of an emperor of Nicaragua at least. How in the world do you get that many medals without ever having been in battle? Ah, well. I guess they don't make you cut your hair anymore to serve in the military. His military. This is a joke, right? - It's a costume ball, right? I mean, Napoleon and Lord Nelson side by side would be outshone by this uniform. Spectacular!

Ok, about this Reagan missed and "we" missed too thing: See, what you do is pretend you are not aiming for him. That way you can't miss. And if George Bush told us he was occupied with more important things than catching Bin Laden, well sure. So it doesn't matter if you can't find him, because you aren't really trying, you see.

Well, I'm not really trying to make a decent comment here either. If you like it, tell me it was great. If not, well, remember I wasn't really aiming. Or something.

And, speaking of Lord Nelson, lay off Dave.

Graham drop your cynicism and head for Beyond the Mango Juice where there's a very important link waiting for you.

Max, Gaddafi styles himself on Mussolini, and his dress sense shows this. Just search for his image!


Martyn, I have seen that and am pondering.

Search for Mussolini? All I can find is a picture of him hanging upside down by one leg. I will keep looking. I do remember some of his early "return of the Roman Empire" uniforms with the daggers and stuff, the ones with his lip up over his nose and his chin jutting out. But, no, Benito couldn't hold a candle to Mo. Mo even has Michael Jackson beat. And we can't even see his hands or belt in this pic. Wowser.

The Libyan thing is shaping up for a full scale civil war. That distinct possibility was obvious when Sarkozy, the international Clousseau kicked this whole sorry disaster off.

ague is quite simply an eejit.
