Ken Olbermann on Donald Rumsfeld
Brilliant.

In the interest of making more sick good clean fun in my and other's lives, I just ordered replacements for some old John Waters movies (Pink Flamingos, Desperate Living, Female Trouble, Polyester) I've long since worn out or loan-lost (what happens when you loan something and never get it back...), along with some other stuff for my son (who is *not* ready for John Waters, whom I've seen break mature adults), and a silly old Steve Martin flick ("Man With Two Brains"). If you're in the States, and looking for older movies, check out deepdiscountdvd.com. I haven't received the order yet, so can't comment about service, but their prices (in this case, between $5-$10 per DVD, shipped) are about the best I've seen.
*LOL* Oh, that's just...so very evil ;> Talk about professional rivalry. Remind me not to mess with you Brits.
Poet's love letter is a hoax
Excerpts:
LONDON, England (AP) -- A British writer was duped into printing a fake love letter in his latest biography -- complete with a coded four-letter insult aimed at him.
Biographer A.N. Wilson thought he had new evidence that English poet John Betjeman, who publicly lamented his dull sex life, had a previously unknown extramarital affair.
Wilson included the letter, said to be from the poet to his mistress, in his book "Betjeman," published this month.
He failed to notice that the first letter of each sentence in one section of the letter spells out "A.N. Wilson is a s---."
[...]
The newspaper suggested that rival Betjeman biographer Bevis Hillier might have been responsible, reporting that the envelope came from a stationer in Winchester, the southern English town where Hillier lives. Hillier denied involvement, but told the paper he thinks Wilson is "despicable."
