"Know Your Enemy" by Green Day is a blatant subconscious lift of the "we have a remedy" bit from "A Quick One (While He's Away)" by the Who.

pint, beer

Well there's something you don't read everyday. Ron Pattinson quotes a longish passage about 19th-century Muslims drinking lots of beer.

This is evidence for something I'd wondered about for a while. Any people, anywhere in the world, if they grow grain, are going to be drinking some of it. Alcohol is too easy to make for prohibition, even with gods backing it up, to hold on indefinitely.

(Note that some of the language is so datedly racist as to be awkwardly quaint. I haven't heard the word "quadroon" in a while.)

How the Greens let Griffin win

Background: I'm a member of the Socialist Party and campaigned for No2EU in the European Elections.

So I've just dashed off this essay:

The latest Telegraph/ICM parliamentary poll has Labour three percentage points behind the Liberal Democrats (Tories 40/LD 25/Labour 22) if a general election were held today.

But Labour would still have three and a half times as many seats as LD.

Would the apparent unfairness of this result plus the chance to really put the screws to Labour be enough for a Tory government to support proportional representation? Or would the Tories stick to their current plan of reducing the number of MPs?

Yet another friend of mine's gotten into homebrewing.

She's concentrating on fruit wines: raspberry, blackberry, strawberry. Things you can get at the supermarket.

But, alas, she's ignoring the ubiquitous bushes growing wild in the woods near her house: almost an acre of the things, and she could be making a delectable wine out of either the berries or the flowers.

Still, that's the problem with kids these days -- no respect for their elders.

The "Chuck" season finale was everything I've come to expect from the show. It would be a fitting series finale as well, if the show doesn't get renewed.

"Heroes", though, was a bit lacking, like it has been for a while now. ( spoilers )
