Browsing Posts in Humour
I’ve seen this floating around the interwebs a few times now. I don’t know where it originated, but it does raise a smile every time I see it.
It’s a little late for Halloween, but still worth a repost:
Last week Italian Foreign Minister, Franco Frattini called on his homophobic, misogynistic friends at the Vatican to join with his homophobic, misogynistic former enemies to construct a “New Humanism”. Given the Catholic Church’s recent record, I think it’s safe to assume that any religious inspired “humanism” would be identifiable by its complete lack of humanity.
But how do you respond when the leaders of various religions realise that their imagined doctrinal differences, the imagined doctrinal differences that have done so much to divide humanity and cause untold harm, just don’t matter now that they can all agree to hate someone else?
Humour is usually the best response. With that in mind, allow me to point you in the direction of the ever reliable Jesus and Mo.

Do you want the United Kingdom to adopt the “alternative vote” system instead of the current ‘first past the post’ system for electing Members of Parliament to the House of Commons?
And the Electoral Commission thinks that this is too difficult for some people.
I disagree (obviously, otherwise I wouldn’t be blogging this). The question doesn’t need to change but the range of answers should be extended as follows:
- Yes
- No
- I’m too thick to vote
“I’m my own man“, says new Labour leader Ed Miliband. “And I have Tony Woodley’s permission to say so.”
Yesterday’s Dilbert cartoon made me think of St. Steve of Jobs.
Updated, because the Thursday strip is good as well.
