News you can use.

I'm still vastly amused that last night's 6pm Simpsons episode(Episode 1521) was all about how ultra-patriotic this country has become. But that's another story.

Here's a nice, interesting story about vibrators.

Completely unrelated, let's check out how one particular Scot sees our political leaders in his "Heroes and Villians of 2004" article:

George W Bush With all due respect, the man is a moronic, mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, mindless puppet doing the bidding of his super-rich, neo-con, oil-soaked paymasters while issuing lip service to the concerns of the great unwashed. He's dragged us all into a dangerous quagmire in the Middle East and shafted the planet with his environmental vandalism.

John Kerry Talk about missing an open goal. Kerry had every chance to oust George W (see above). But like, Al Gore before him, he bored his way to defeat.

It's almost frightening to me how accurately he reflects my feelings. Makes me proud to be part Scottish.
