Wonderwall

This is probably the most concise summing up of WW2 I've seen:

Germany invades Czechoslovakia.
Britain & France tell them to stop that bullshit.
Germany invades Poland.
(Russia also invades Poland from the other side: everybody forgets this.)
Britain & France declare war. This is the 'official' kick-off.
Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary, & Romania all join the German side. (Everybody forgets the last three.)
Axis forces go through Europe like vindaloo through a colostomy.
Nazis exterminate Jews, gays, gypsies, & the disabled. (everybody remembers the jews but forgets the rest.)
UK holds out.
Russia & the USA don't do shit.
Entire divisions of Danish, Belgian, Dutch, Norwegian, French & Serbian volunteers join the Axis armies & SS. (everybody forgets this & to listen to them now, they were all in the f***ing resistance, which must have been MASSIVE.)
Axis forces invade Russia. Suddenly the Russians don't think it's funny any more.
Japan joins the Axis & bombs Pearl Harbor.
Suddenly the US doesn't think it's funny any more.
The USA tools up the world, 'cause it's got more factories than everybody else put together, & they're out of bomber range.
Axis runs out of steam in Russia, cause Russia's enormous & bloody freezing.
Allies invade on D-Day... 5 landings: 2 British, 2 American, 1 Canadian. (everybody forgets the Canadians.)
Hitler ends up smouldering in a ditch. Russians find the body & confirm he only had one ball. Seriously.
The US decides invading stuff is a pain in the ass and invents the atom bomb instead. Drops two buckets 'o sunshine on Japan.
Russians steal half of Europe.
UK's spent almost every penny it had.
US starts telling everybody how it was all about them, & 64 years later is still doing so.

I might add also that Australia was involved too (everyone forgets that) and stopped the Japs in New Guinea and Gen McArthur ran the war against the Japanese from Australia.

Will this gun be pointed at America's head one day?

Michael Jackson a genius? Don't make me laugh. The following sums it up. I didn't write it but it concurs with my opinion.

Calling Michael Jackson a genius really stretches the word to breaking point.

Songwriter? Many of his hits - and indeed, almost all of the "Off the Wall" album - were written by others. In any case, strip away the production talents and musicianship of other contributors, and most of his songs, and especially his lyrics, are remarkable only for their ordinariness.

Dancer? Invariably, everyone cites the Moonwalk. Trouble is, he didn't even invent it. Watch the video for Malcolm McLaren's "Buffalo Gals", released the year before Michael Jackson did his famous moonwalk.

Music video? Perhaps he deserves some note - or rather a great deal of condemnation - for realising the potential of music video as a marketing tool, but again, they were not his work. His most talked about video, for instance, "Thriller" owes any merit it has to John Landis.

And dancing zombies are just plain stupid, anyway.

Ponzi the original Madoff in 1910.

The whole Madoff Ponzi scheme absolutely stinks. Mix the greed of investors who want a quick buck with a smart operator who gives it to them as long as he gets more and more suckers to invest.

What does 250 years mean to a 71 year old? He got away with it for nearly 20 years although the regulators knew about it 10 years ago. They should be on trial too.

We had a guy named Alan Bond who did the same sort of thing about 20 years ago but on a smaller scale. He kept buying more and more companies and sucked them dry to feed his pocket and buy more companies. He went to jail for a couple of years but not before he transferred 80 million or so to his much younger wife.

He now swans around Cottesloe, a beach front suburb in Perth and lives the good life.

I did look up the term Ponzi Scheme which is a sort of financial pyramid scheme run by a guy named Ponzi in 1910. Nothing changes. Link

Funny and weird all at the same time.

Drew Friedman seems to have hit the nail on the head. A grownup child who couldn't handle celebrity or life.

A famous person has died

What's the big deal with celebrity deaths? Usually they may have some talent but suck as human beings. The guy working as a volunteer in your local cancer centre is much more worthy in my view.

"Stoned Wallabies Make Crop Circles" best headline of the year?

Single mother of 4 ordered to pay $2.4 million for downloading 24 songs. The American Nazi Party err sorry RIAA wins again. I guess that'll show her. The law is more than an ass in this case its a completely insane monster. Link

L'Inconnue de la Seine - who is this enigmatic female? Her death mask reveals an almost Mona Lisa type serenity. She was a supposed suicide in the Seine in the 1880s. Her likeness hung in many homes in the early 20th Century and she was an inspiration for a whole generation of women. Link

Keep watching!

Most twits only twitter once - I thought so! Link

Carradine does a Hutchence? When death is the only rush left. Link

88 year old racist and fascist charged with murder, this is weird even for America link
