Clairvoyance and the Mail

And you wondered why the highest-paid journalist in Britain was Jonathan Cainer*. Well wonder no longer, because the Mail's political staff are getting in on the act too, including a wonderful piece of looking into the future, as reported by the Daily Quail. With such clairvoyance at hand, you have to wonder why they didn't break the story about Sarah Palin being made John McCain's running mate - surely they must have known that too?

Anyway, the Quail has been added to the links, and there are a couple of other new uns to keep it fresh, with a long overdue appearance for Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, as well as the Yorkshire Ranter, Never Trust a Hippy and Left Wing Criminologist. As well as that, there's the excellent self-explanatory Facebook group The Daily Mail Really Are A Bunch Of Fucking Twats. Plenty to keep us all busy over the weekend there...

*Actually, I still wonder. How the hell...? How...? In...? The...? World...? Did he do it? Two ideas spring to mind: 1) The world of newspapers is fucking mental, allowing a reasonably talented but ultimately pointless scribbler who makes up a load of specious crap to rise to the top of the pile; 2) He really is in league with the devil, and sold his soul like Robert Johnson. Instead of getting the blues, however, he got the ability to get handsomely rewarded for tossing out a pile of old cobblers about star signs. *sigh* Well the devil's welcome to him, if that's the case...
