I'm rubbish at political comedy, so I'll leave it up to Tim Ireland to properly say <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9_yv1m9jN8">Goodbye, Tony Blair.</a> <small><small>(<a href="http://www.b3ta.com/">via</a>)</small></small>post:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.62377Mon, 25 Jun 2007 15:50:19 -0800anonaccounttonyblairflashpoliticalcomedysinglelinkyoutubepostBy: Dave Faris

It's loading slowly for me, but somehow, I don't think it's going to beat Russell T. Davies' sly roast on last night's episode of 'Doctor Who'. Season 3 - Episode 12, '<a href="http://www.tv.com/doctor-who-2005/the-sound-of-drums-2/episode/1007970/summary.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=episodessh&tag=episodes;title;1">The Sound of Drums</a>' wherein the Doctor's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Drums#The_Master">arch-nemesis</a> gets himself elected PM and promptly opens up a dimensional gateway that allows his minions to invade Earth with the intention of killing 10% of the current population.
The Master was portrayed by John Simm of '<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478942/">Life On Mars</a>' fame, and suprisingly he was easily able to put on the spit-and-polish that Mr. Blair seemed to do so well. At least with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Drums">Harold Saxon</a> the Brits didn't have to wait 2-3 years to be betrayed - it was barely the next day before The Master allowed the planet to be invaded.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.62377-1741609Mon, 25 Jun 2007 17:22:51 -0800vhsivBy: genghis

Jibjab dreams about a world in which it thought of anything for itself, Dave Faris. Instead it seems happy enough slapping ads on tenth-rate B3ta ripoffs with funny-ectomies.

But, miss l, he doesn't have that near-albino look., nor the hair that he had once upon a time. But at least he a very decent Van-Dyke.

(Ahem.... that stray "." was for the near-albino look).
<small>As for the later typo, there is no excuse. Insert "has" between "he" and "a" in crappily-constructed sentence number two. </small>comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.62377-1741650Mon, 25 Jun 2007 18:04:49 -0800Sk4nBy: WaterSprite

How weird. I was at school with Tim, a long time ago in a country far far away from where he is now.
I think he puts himself down too much. That was pretty damn good.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.62377-1742106Tue, 26 Jun 2007 07:09:24 -08005MeoCMPBy: NinjaTadpole

Magnificent. <small>(you bloody nay-sayers!)</small>
I'm not keen on TB's last act as PM being presiding over half of the UK actually being <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6239828.stm">flushed down the toilet</a>, but I suppose it's fairly appropriate.
Now Gordon Brown has to clean up the mess, or at least convince us all that he's a very different beast and either
a) the mess never really existed, pshaw!
b) the mess-makers have now been ushered through the door and everything will now be rosy.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.62377-1742874Tue, 26 Jun 2007 16:08:48 -0800NinjaTadpole
"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet. He then unclasped the belt of his waist, and having his head uncovered, knelt down, and holding up both his hands.
