Let's talk about Doctor Who . Specifically two things: Thing One: What has happened to Billie Piper's speech? She sounds like she's wearing badly-fitted dentures to go with that oil slick of cheap lipgloss and the naff Essex accent. And anyone who suggests I'm jealous of her because she's younger than me is lying. Thing Two: Has anyone, anywhere, ever under any circumstances ever found a Dalek scary?...

This is too cool!! I knew we had bacteria that would eat petroleum when seeded into oil slicks (that have been contained by your favorite New Pig product) on water.

But it’s an uneasy embrace: a new Washington Post-ABC poll shows that just 17 percent of McCain’s supporters feel “very enthusiastic” about him. Last month’s endorsement of cap-and-trade legislation didn’t help. So McCain...

Hopi Sen is being feeling very sorry for himself after drunkenly dancing like a doctor (obscure reference to a high spot in Graham Fellowe's ouevre), or Ian Curtis as Hopi prefers. He is self effacing and says he's not up to much. Then he pulls a fifth Tory sleaze story blinking into the light of scrutiny . You know, Alan Duncan cuddling up with and mortgaging his future an Oil company fined big bucks...
