“If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”
Is that more palatable?
He was plagiarising GB Shaw and aside from that I'd say it's just as unapalatable and not nearly as insidiuosly clever.
Actually on further consideration, I think neither Churchill nor Shaw originally trotted out this little piggy. Maybe some French dude

Putting aside daughters, what about Winston Churchill's quote:
“If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”
Is that more palatable?

As for the villian in the Sitting-on-Knee incident; surely Emily Prior is not totally lillywhite?
Why does there have to be a villain? Pretty girls flirting with rich guys is a well understood phenomenon. (and a good reason for getting yourself filthy rich)
It's not as if he gave her a good seeing to right there in the stands, is it?
Some of those journo's need to grow up a bit. All it needed was mention of behind the bikesheds or __Allen and Emily up a tree...__and it would have been just like the "tewibbly scandalous" gossip we used to throw around at primary school.

and ouila! there it was, perfect Palin
Voilà, peut-être?
I did check, and Babel-fish translates ouila to ullaged which I think has something to do with leftover booze...

I took Pundit's Election Quiz (perfect for lazy people with short attention spans and no desire to wade through thousands of pages of policy) and apparently I have the most in common with the Green Party.
However, the percentages were within a few points of the match to the two major parties. Does this mean that they are all basically selling the same message to voters like me? Probably.

Dude, don't be hating on cephalopods.
I'd quite like that on a t-shirt.

Sandwiches in Plastic Packs
All the yummy fillings are jammed to the visible front part to make it look like the product is full of delicious goodness. Then when you open the pack, it's all just bread beyond the first couple of centimetres. -
Her: "And it's so funny how you all say "literally" when it's clearly not"
Local: "I know, we literally do it all the time..."
Her: ...Perhaps Americans do understand irony after all!

Wait. What squid at Kelly Tarlton's? I just figured you meant the one at Te Papa
The one I saw was at KT's Underwater World in Auckland.
Isn't it one of their arms that just happens to also have a sperm-shooter?
Stop spoiling my perfectly good posts with your confounded scientific facts....
Which leads me to another entry...

That Giant Squid at Kelly Tarlton's
Every news report about giant squid absolutely has to mention the 90cm pre-hensile penis thing. As if we don't already get enough spam e-mail suggesting enhancement without molluscs waving their whopping todgers at us...
Also, that one big eye looking out of the tank through a misty solution of formaldehyde just creeps me out.
However, it is dead and I'm not (yet). Pwned! you John-Holmes-ian gelatinous freak.
