I can remember a time when you had to tear me away from the telly when a Grand Prix was on. Nowadays, not so much. It's not just that the cars all look the same except for their paint jobs, it's the fact that they are racing on tracks that are for the most part, soul-less heaps of mediocrity...
The re-working of Hockenheim (which was pretty dire to begin with) and Spa (which was perfect just the way it was thank you very much) should have resulted in someone being shot...twice..."new" Silverstone has so many switchbacks and convulted twisty bits that it has lost all of it's former character and it STILL doesn't hold a candle to Brands Hatch (which thankfully didn't 'win' the right to hold the British G.P. and therefore was not Tilke'd to death)...
The locations are a joke too, the Grand Prix of India....really?? Who is kidding whom? Dubai, Abu Dhabi, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Korea, you know, all of those classic tracks that the greats from history drove on like, um,...you know...that foreign guy...and the other famous geezer with the mustache...and that Scots git, you know...the really fast one..
Bernie Ecclestone has single-handedly ripped the soul out of what used to be my greatest passion and sold it off, piece-by-piece to the highest bidder...and I despise him for it...
When I lived on the left-coast of America I would get up at O-dark-thirty in the morning to watch the European GPs live, even though I was recording them as well, my wife thought I was mental, now I can barely be bothered to remember when the damned races are on, never mind recording them Why take up space on the DVR that could be devoted to the Premier League anyway? The only reason I caught the Brazilian GP this weekend at all was as a filler before the Man City vee Liverpool footy match began, and even that was only in the vain hope that they would give lots of ogling coverage of the Brazilian grid girls...
In contrast I still pull an all-nighter every year for Ley Van Catre 'Ers of Lee Mons, and was bitterly disappointed that I couldn't have an endurance fest this year for either the 12 hours of Sebring or Petit Lee Mons due to the crappiest television broadcast deal in motorsports save the WRC's..(where the flock is that carried now anyway?)...
F-1 has long ago lost it's mystique and glamour, the drivers are for the most-part micro-managed spokesmodels, there isn't a rogue amongst them...can you imagine Keke Rosberg in modern F-1?..and they all toe the company line...no dissent allowed...
It is still the one sport in the world that works at the absolute pinnacle of automotive technology, and that, coupled with ear-splitting noise and breath-taking speed should make it essential viewing, yet somehow they have done the impossible and made it boring...
Someone wake me up when next season starts please....Or not...

Friday Follies: A sexist automotive joke...
Well why not, no-one reads this bloody thing anyway...*grin*
Anyhoo...stolen gratuitously from the interwebs:
With Euro going down, Ford to acquire Renault
Ford has announced plans to acquire French automaker Renault and engineering teams have already joined forces to create the perfect small car for women. Mixing the Renault “Clio” and the Ford “Taurus”, they have designed the “Clitaurus”.
It comes in pink and the average male car thief won't be able to find it, let alone turn it on, even if someone tells him where it is and how to do it. Rumour has it though, that it leaks transmission fluid once a month and can be a real bitch to start in the morning! Some have reported that on cold winter mornings, when you really need it, you can't get it to turn over. New models are initially fun to own, but very costly to maintain and horribly expensive to get rid of.
Used models may initially appear to have curb appeal and a low price, but eventually have an increased appetite for fuel, and the curb weight typically increases with age.
Manufacturers are baffled as to how the size of the trunk increases, but say that the paint may just make it LOOK bigger. This model is not expected to reach collector status. Most owners find it is best to lease one, and replace it as needed.
---------------
I hope everyone has a great weekend, and if I offended anyone, hopefully I offended you so much you had to share this with your friends...because god knows, the stuff I've been writing up 'til now hasn't driven up the numbers of hits...
Cheers!!

The fourteen defining characteristics of Fascism
As I awoke today I heard reports that in 18 cities across the US, various Mayors (tinpot dictators) had apparently co-ordinated their efforts to 'evict' the Occupy camps in their various jurisdictions.
The fact that these Mayors (tinpot dictators) broke the law and violated the civil rights of the protesters by doing this obviously a) never entered their minds and b) isn't being reported by the presstitutes in the M$M, and frankly neither is really that surprising.
However, this is merely the lastest in a worrying trend in America.
In the case of the New York OWS 'eviction' (if by eviction you mean 'opportunity for small-dicked roided-up jack-booted arseholes to go and kick a few hippies') a judge in the wee hours of the morning granted an injunction against the 'eviction', but the Filth moved in anyway and arrested upwards of 200 protesters. Amongst those arrested were several credentialed journalists trying to cover the story. So much for freedom of the press. Oh, and the judge that sided with the OWS protesters was removed from further judgements in the case right after she made that ruling. Why? I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact that before she was a judge, she was a lawyer for the ACLU....
In other news, the Supreme Court has agreed to rule on a lawsuit brought against the President's Health Care Bill passed a couple of years ago. Justice Antonin Scalia and his house-boy Justice Clarence Thomas were later that same day feted at a black-tie dinner thrown by the very same law-firm that will be presenting the case against the Health Care Bill.
If either of these situations were to occur in a Central American or Middle Eastern country, columnists and experts would be getting up on their hind-legs and pouring their derision on the 'banana republic mentality' of these countries, and demands for 'equality' and 'democracy' from the intelligentsia would issue forth. Politicians would be decrying the heavy-handed tactics of the militarized police units that were pepper-spraying and brutally beating non-violent protesters (and in one case shooting an Iraq War veteran in the head with a rubber bullet). But therein lies the problem. This isn't happening overseas. It is happening HERE.
Alot of people on the left like to throw the word "Fascism" around to describe the ever-increasing animosity by the 1% towards the 99% as evidenced by the actions of their bought-and-paid-for police forces (don't take my word for it, JP Morgan Chase just "donated" $4.6 million to the New York City Police Foundation ) but many people recoil from that description claiming that it invalidates the argument, or belittles the horrors of Hitler et al, but I would suggest that it is almost entirely accurate.
Dr. Lawrence Britt examined the fascist regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto and several Latin American regimes. He noticed that there were 14 common characteristics which I have posted below. I invite you to read them all, and then consider if they remind you of any country in particular. One that claims to be the last bastion of true democracy left on the planet...
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
Sound familiar?

Liberal media? Don't make me larf son...
I hate to disappoint those of you that may have enjoyed the recent break I took from political posts to read my witty and acerbic take-downs of some of today's cardboard and silicon celebrities, but I simply have to share this with you.
I have absolute proof that the Corporate Media in this country is not only decidedly not "liberal", but they are actively "pro-republican".
To whit this story:
In 2009 the National Christmas Tree Association proposed a $.15 fee be charged to all tree growers so that the association could garner more funds to promote the crop that they represent, you know, kinda like how the Milk Board pays for those 'Got Milk?' ads...well they got approval from the vast majority of their growers (90% positive comments in favour during the review period) and decided to implement the fee through the US Dept of Agriculture.
So how did the rightwing frame this? "Obama wants to tax Christmas trees."
Of course he does....
That part isn't the surprising bit, I expect that sort of blatant horseshit from those evil, twisted, manipulators of weak-minded morons, what was breath-taking was the speed with which the eager lap-dogs in the Corporate Media had their presstitutes press home that false story.
Don't believe me? Okay, here is the proof:
ABC: Senator aims to repeal Christmas Tree Tax
MSNBC: A tax on Christmas Trees?
CBS: Christmas Tree tax sidelined after uproar
ABC: Obama administration to delay new 15-cent Christmas Tree tax
Politico: Christmas tree tax tabled by Obama
This isn't just a case of lazy reporting (that is de rigeur nowadays), this is a case of the media taking a made-up story, and running with it, without EVER bothering to check the facts (you know, like proper journalists).
This should serve as a warning to those of us on the left, the media are NOT our friends, they are there to SHAPE THE MESSAGE...and this story is just the most recent, and glaringly fucking obvious, example of it...
The bigger tragedy is that the rest of America is too damned busy watching 'Dancing with the Stars', or 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' to see anything more than the deceptive, lying headlines...
And that is what they count on...

Hey Hollywood, I have an idea...how about you make a proper "reality show"?
You know, one that features some actual reality, not that silicon and botox-infused bullshit you force down our throats now, but proper "reality"...
How about you make a show featuring a family of four where both parents work two dead-end minimum-wage jobs with no health care and one week's vacation a year (spent at home on the couch because actually going anywhere costs too much fucking money), and both latch-key kids try and get good enough grades for scholarships because there's no fucking way on God's Green that their folks will ever be able to afford to send them to college on their own, and the family car is over 10-years old and they're still paying it off because they had to use it as collateral for a payday loan when one of the kids had to go to the emergency room, and the few credit cards they have are maxed out not because the parents are wasteful spenders but because the fucking credit card company keeps jacking up their interest rate, and they live in a shitty 2-bedroom apartment in a dodgy part of town because their house got foreclosed on by the bank that forgot to tell them when they re-financed that the interest rate they were getting for the first 12 months was just 'introductory' and would quadruple when it reset...you know the reality the rest of us know about?
How about it?
Nah, you're right....stick with the "Real housewives of (insert stuck-up over-priviliged neighbourhood here)" because it doesn't get more real than watching a bunch of cougars sitting around the marble-topped kitchen counter sipping Pinot Grigio and yapping about how they like to imagine that it's really Roberto the pool boy taking them doggy-style whenever their husbands decide to fuck them...
I forget, is America doomed because Hollywood is fucked in the head, or is it the other way around...??

Seems we've been here before...Lindsay Lohan sent back to jail....again...
In the revolving door that the LA Courthouse has now become for Lindsay Lohan, she has once again been sentenced back to jail for failing to meet the requirements of her parole arrangement. Due to the over-crowding situation in the California penal system what this will mean as far as actual time behind bars is up for debate, but the sensible money should be on "none". Again.
We all know that the rich and famous (i.e. powerful) answer to a different justice system than the rest of us, but this whole Lohan merry-go-round is making a mockery of even that farcical system of favours, nods and winks.
Any guesses as to how many years behind bars a young woman that had repeatedly broken the conditions of her parole would get if instead of being white, famous and featured in Playboy, but was instead a black, un-wed, un-employed mother of three from Compton?
Look, LA, we know you guys are a bit flaky, but will someone, for the love of dog, please lock that Lohan bitch up and get her the fuck off my television screen?? She's taking time away from more important shit...you know, the Michael Jackson Doctor Case and who will get custody of Kim Kardashian's huge arse in the divorce settlement...

I am almost too distraught to write this week...Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce...
The photos of the wonderful blushing bride have barely had a chance to fade in our collective memories, and yet this delicate little flower, with an ass the size of a Buick and an IQ smaller than her ring-size, has after just 71 days of completely committed matrimony to her no-name athlete husband, filed for divorce.
I know that most of you are just like me, shocked beyond belief that such a long-term courtship of almost six whole months would collapse, seemingly at random. But upon further inspection, it seems that the root of the problem appears to be the NBA lock-out. You see, the longer it continues the less moolah her soon-to-be ex-husband brings in, which means he wound up mooching off her instead of the other way around. As we all know if there's one thing a grifter hates, it's another grifter, so, naturally, he had to be kicked to the kerb.
For those of you that don't know who this vacuous waste of silicon and hairspray is, let me just say that I envy you. Yours must be a wonderful world and I would do just about anything to trade places with you.
Her "reality show" is apparently like 99% of the rest of that banal genre, i.e. it is comprised of totally made-up situational bullshit designed to create controversy and ratings only, and has absolutely sweet fuck-all to do with "reality" in any shape or form whatsoever. I have never watched the "reality" show that she is part of, and I am only aware of her at all because of the continual television and super-market tabloid coverage of her cleavage (and her massive arse). She is famous simply for being famous, and her only real claim to fame is that she appeared in one of those Hollywood sex tapes where only one party was aware there was any filming going on. She mildly protested about the release of the tape, but only insofar as to make sure that everyone spelled her last name correctly. I'm not suggesting that she was part of a publicity stunt and feigned her innocence (who me?) but I do know that she got rich off that tape, and received a buttload (sorry - I had to) of free press for it.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear that there are perhaps some folks who are less than impressed with the speed with which this "marriage of the century" rapidly turned into utter farce. Most especially those tabloid magazines that got hood-winked into forking over a ton of cabbage for the "exclusive rights" to the entire wedding spectacle. But before they rush off and kick-start the lawyers, I have an idea. Rather than suing her for the standard million-bazillion-katrillion dollars, could they instead, just ask for a judgement that forever and always bans her and her sisters/mother/any-other-relative from ever being allowed to be seen on the telly again?
That would be a lawsuit just like her massive bum...you know...one we could ALL get behind...
Cheers!!!
