And in other news ...

I like to see what's in the papers on my birthday as a bit of a scene setter for the coming year. This year was a combination of the very good with Richard Hammond happily back on Top Gear, which you can see here, and the very daft, with Americans believing that a shield to block out the sun is a better way of dealing with Global Warming than, oh, I don't know, a functional EPA or not driving a fucking truck everywhere.

So, basically the War on Drugs is lost, and they are now offically ALL on crack. It's the only plausible explanation.
