America, who would you vote for?
This cool as fuck, intelligent, talented man?
Or this fucking moron?
Okay, so Perry probably won’t get the Republican nomination, but I still thought it was a powerful comparison. And I know which way anyone worth respecting would vote.
Michael Gove writes foreword to school issue James I Bible
As I’ve already touched on today, I have my reservations when it comes to religion. It’s a topic I’m shamefully underinformed about. I mean, I know the main things, I know the five pillars of Islam, I know why the Christians don’t like men to get sexy on each other, but my biblical knowledge is to say the least, limited.
My only experience of the bible, save for finding the creepy passion-killing Gideon’s version in hotel room bedside tables, was reading the New Testament (do you cap that?) in RE in Year 11.
We read the James I bible, and there were parts of it, I rather enjoyed. Not in a moral way — is it possible to enjoy anything in a moral way? But in a, “oh that’s nice” way. Which is the way I enjoy most things I enjoy. If that makes sense, which patently it doesn’t.
Occupy Pong
This is pretty amazing. And no, I don’t usually frequent German tech blogs.

Some lighter reading for the shadow chancellor
I was on the tube today, on my way to interview Russell Kane, and look who I saw! Only the tiny-eyed shadow chancellor Ed Balls.
At first he was reading the FT, scowling through the pages, but he soon gave up and whipped out, best-selling, which-one-of-them-dies, rom-com-pitch-disguised-a-novel, One Day.
Although he also read this with same angry furrowed brow. Though I must say, he did have reassuringly shit shoes on.
Who the fuck is he on the phone to?
This kind of shit on news reports fucks me off — it’s unnecessary and amazingly stupid.Bercow goes Beronkers
Pompous, preening, self-regarding — yep he’s all of the above. But he’s also a great speaker, because you need to have all those things to keep such a partisan house in order.
Muddled Maude gets a mauling on Today
Kudos (or mad props to the ironically street among you) to Mark Serwotka General Sec for the Public and Commercial Services Union and Evan Davies for exposing the clear nonsense that Francis Maude has been talking about the teachers’ strike and public sector pensions.
What proportion of MPs’ earnings are added to their pension by their employer? 33%. Teachers? 13%. How about you start with your own pensions hey? Then we’ll see where we are. Here is Maude’s mauling on The Today Programme if you missed it:

Disabled people are hit twice by The Cuts
Disabled people will be hit by the same cuts we’re all hit by. They’ll feel them more acutely because it’s likely they rely upon public services more. And then they’ll be hit again by cuts to disability services. That isn’t right.

In case you missed this morning’s Star, my work made an impromptu appearance.
“The fuckers got me”
Barack Obama being cool
I knew he was still cool.
Andrew Lansley on The Lancet
He laughs at the opinions of the Lancet but listens to opinions of Mars? That’s some health minister.
