After a young friend “liked” Wiz Khalifa on Facebook, a foul-mouthed rapper who promotes drug use, I felt the need to “like” him myself so I could leave this comment on his page:
Here’s the deal – the government makes drugs illegal to hike up the price on the black market, then they ship in the [...]

I received an email yesterday asking if I can supply a quantity of custom printed flags to promote a certain death metal band. They were a new one on me (not that I know of many), so I did a bit of research. It turns out they are part of the “God Is Dead – [...]

I think they might be Swedish? If that’s not to your liking, I found this fine unaccompanied version of John Anderson My Jo. It won’t allow me to grab the code, so here’s the URL.

Pink Floyd front man David Gilmour, Chrissie Hynde, Bob Geldof and Gary McKinnon sing Graham Nash’s Chicago.
This is a plea to Barack Obama to come from Chicago and help Change the World and to allow Gary McKinnon to have his life back.

Tonight is Burn’s Night. I won’t be participating in the drinking, but some haggis is bound to be ingested.
Scots Wha Hae is Bruce’s call to his men before the start of the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, but it is just as relevant today. Just replace ‘Scots’ with ‘Brits’ and sing about our traitorous government [...]
