The Size Of The Crowd Is Inversely Proportional To The Number Of Journalists Who Show Up
MARK Steyn:
Byron, yesterday in Grand Junction 22,000 people turned up to see Sarah Palin, which if memory serves is rather larger than the numbers Jack Kemp was drawing back in ‘96. If my experience in New Hampshire is anything to go by, the size of the crowd is inversely proportional to the number of journalists who show up.

Madonna Dresses Kids Like A Rod And Guy’s Christmas Star
DAY whatever in the divorce of Madonna (Vadge) and Guy Ritchie (Bitchie).
With no word from either party, the tabloids pick up on sign language.
Says the Sun:
“Defiant Madonna takes another swipe at hubby Guy Ritchie - by dressing their son in a New York Yankees T-shirt.”
Is Bitchie a Dodgers fan? Dunno. The story hinges on the fact that Madonna’s friend, one Alex Rodriguez, wears the Yankees kit in a professional capacity.
The Sun assures us that “Guy will be angry to see her parading their son in the hunk’s team colours”. In the league table of replica kits don’t dos:

LEST it not be said that there is anything beyond the capabilities of Israel. Release the kosher pigeons:

Wayne Rooney Polishes Head For England
ANOTHER day, and yet another attempt to squeeze a cheap laugh out of the mighty Wayne Rooney.
Today Wayne is wearing a curly wig, an Amy Winehouse beehive and a Bobby Charlton comb over, the hairstyle Sir Bobby famously wore over his luxurious crop of auburn locks.
The reason for this?

I Knifed A Girl: Katy Perry Flicks Her Blade And Joey Lappin Dies
ANORAK is delighted to see that lesbian enthusiast Katy Perry has bucked the trend for eating with her fingers and has taken to wielding a knife.
The singer’s other hand of not in shot on the Sun’s cover page, but Anorak wagers that it holds a fork or – little steps (Miss Perry is an American) - a spoon.
Harsh, indeed, then for the Sun to brand Perry the “No1 idiot” in “SINGER KNIFE OUTRAGE”.

IT must be pretty rotten waking up and discover that one of your bosom buddies has written a letter to the Times about you in less than flattering terms, all the more so if you had been hoping that your bosom buddie would make unflattering remarks about another person altogether, so perhaps we should pause for a moment to recognise George Osborne’s pain.
And then we can get back to laughing our heads off…

Obama’s White Fright Brains McCain’s Ginga Ninja
TO New York where the battle for the hearts and minds of Amerikans has selected it latest champions.
In the red corner, a smallish, gingerish, middle-aged woman carrying a placard.
In the blue corner, a chubby-ish, white-ish, middle-aged man carrying a few extra pounds.
The Ginga Ninja calls the White Fright “a rather benign, doughy-looking guy — not a person I would have expected to assault me.”

THE inSpot email says your lover has an STD:
Since 2004, a free Web site, inSpot.org has allowed users to anonymously notify their partners to get tested for STDs such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis.
It may not be the most personal way of delivering the news, but researchers say it beats not saying anything at all.
“When you weigh the importance of getting people notified, that’s ultimately what needs to be done,” said Jeffrey D. Klausner, director of STD Prevention and Control Services in San Francisco, California’s Department of Public Health. “By notifying them — even if it’s done anonymously, even distantly, even with an e-card — the benefits of getting someone diagnosed and treated outweigh the concerns of insensitivity.”
The electronic cards deliver the news in a variety of styles. Some are flirty: “You’re too hot to be out of action. I got diagnosed with an STD since we played. You might want to get checked too.”
Some are somber: “Who? What? When? Where? It doesn’t matter. I got an STD; you might have it too. Please get checked out.”
Meg Ryan was wrong…

THE Atheist Bus Campaign campaign is relaunched. Can a bus be an atheist? Yes. We live in liberal times. Perhaps is a bus can be a jihadi it will be immune from attack? Unless it wears a suicide fan belt, in which case the whole depot is f****.
The Atheist Bus Campaign launches today, Tuesday October 21 2008. With your support, we hope to raise £5,500 to run 30 buses across the capital for four weeks with the slogan: “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.”
