Very Best of Holiday Wishes from Enduring America

Forgive the personal nature of this blog, but I am spending it in hospital with my wife's mother, a very brave woman. Not the optimal holiday, but a reminder to me of the importance of family.

The very best of holidays to each of you.

And now for the greatest Christmas song ever....

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad To Deliver Channel 4's Alternative Christmas Message

Just dragging myself away from playing Guitar Hero World Tour with the family for long enough to inform our readers that Channel 4's alternative Queen's Speech tomorrow will be delivered by none other than Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Unlike in previous years it won't air at the same time as the Queen's offering, instead airing at 7.15pm. Sadly Channel 4's website is down for maintenance so I can't provide you with a link to watch online. For now you'll have to settle for the full text, courtesy of The Times.

The Bush Administration in a Word: Barneycam

Of all the blessings given to the world by the Bush Administration --- Afghanistan, Camp X-Ray, Torture, the handling of Katrina, the wishing away of climate change --- this may be the one that best sums up the legacy of Bush and Co. (Indeed, I understand the looped transmission of this video may be succeeding waterboarding as a favoured technique in Christmas Greetings to America's enemies/detainees/"unlawful combatants".)

President George, in one of his more lucid acting moments of recent times, tells Barney: "We're sprinting to the finish."

Not fast enough, son. Not fast enough.
