go fug yourself

Although i've loved this site for, like, EVER, this particular bit of writing has had me in stitches the last FIVE times i read it. If you are reading my blog because you're bored and surfing, or want to see how many other people have put "The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts" in their favourite book section (there's three of us lovey), take a look at this website instead because it's a hell of a lot more entertaining:

I read an article about Idi Amin yesterday that made me think that anything is possible. If an illiterate former potato peeler can take over a country, get all his mates into high ranking positions, torture and humiliate just for fun, print his own money and run the economy of a blossoming nation into the ground then absolutely anything can come to pass.

I wonder if that's how future generations will look back on mine, as Dubya continue's to make a mockery out of the American political system, Tony Blair continues to rule the UK after lying to the entire nation and peace is still very far from the Middle East. I've stopped reading the international news this week because I can't take any more...
