Ossivorous odditorium...






The burnt toast has been coming for months; it has destroyed the party and the building. Any real Conservatives left will be in the ashes of the Conservative 'tree', feeding on the bones of a once great party; their HQ a place merely for displaying oddities.



The lies, the blatant rubbing salt in the wound lies of this treacherous hag are worse even than arch vampire Blair. Worse even than Bottom Brown - and that for me is really saying something. Literal betrayal. Literal treason. She has lost the plot and she will take the whole party with her. Those who have already publicly backed her vomit-inducing pile of shit called a surrender treaty 'agreement' will burn in the same pyre. Those who claim it is Brexit deserve no less.  May's 'crimes' will be avenged, may the end of May see the end of May: starting 23rd...


“Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.”


- Samuel Johnson

Orthopterology over onolatry...




Hazard a guess at these two countries: the first country "is one of the region’s oldest and strongest democracies. 


"It boasts a stronger social safety net than any of its neighbors and is making progress on its promise to deliver free health care and higher education to all its citizens. It is a model of social mobility and a magnet for immigrants from across Latin America and Europe. 

"The press is free, and the political system is open; opposing parties compete fiercely in elections and regularly alternate power peacefully. It sidestepped the wave of military juntas that mired some Latin American countries in dictatorship. Thanks to a long political alliance and deep trade and investment ties with the United States, it serves as the Latin American headquarters for a slew of multinational corporations. It has the best infrastructure in South America. It is still unmistakably a developing country, with its share of corruption, injustice, and dysfunction, but it is well ahead of other poor countries by almost any measure...


"The second country is one of Latin America’s most impoverished nations and its newest dictatorship. Its schools lie half deserted. The health system has been devastated by decades of underinvestment, corruption, and neglect; long-vanquished diseases, such as malaria and measles, have returned. Only a tiny elite can afford enough to eat. An epidemic of violence has made it one of the most murderous countries in the world. [sic]

"It is the source of Latin America’s largest refugee migration in a generation, with millions of citizens fleeing in the last few years alone. Hardly anyone (aside from other autocratic governments) recognizes its sham elections, and the small portion of the media not under direct state control still follows the official line for fear of reprisals. By the end of 2018, its economy will have shrunk by about half in the last five years. It is a major cocaine-trafficking hub, and key power brokers in its political elite have been indicted in the United States on drug charges. Prices double every 25 days. The main airport is largely deserted, used by just a handful of holdout airlines bringing few passengers to and from the outside world." 



The two countries? Answer: these two countries are in fact the same country: Venezuela. Forty years is a long time.

Overloaded official...






Some record: [Link] Sushilkumar Shinde ended his tenure as Indian Union power minister yesterday *; he claimed his work as power minister was "successful" and the additional generation of 80,000MW was a 'record'...the world's biggest ever electrical failure caused a blackout across half of India bringing most things to a standstill: as many as 670 million people without electricity; that is almost 10% of the world's population! * He wasn't sacked/resigned/demoted; he is now the new Home Minister.
