Holly

Much like with The Knife's utterly bizarre 'Christmas Reindeer' last year, I couldn't help but a get an old-school rush of Christaversary spirit (yes, in spite of the gloomy subject matter) when I stumbled across this Lightspeed Champion song on YouTube. I'm a sucker for the indie Christmas track, and that's no lie.

Merry Xmas, one and all!

Paul Rudd For PM. (Or, 'You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up, Vol. I'.)

Did anyone else see CNN's silly season uber-gaffe yesterday? (Seriously, a quick Googling indicates that this one went under the radar.)









Now, Jonomatopoeia may been imbibing freely on the night of November 24, but he was lucid enough to note that the outcome of the night was a much more expected KEVIN Rudd victory. It seemed that lucidity only settled upon the CNN opium den a couple of hours after the report went live, and a hasty correction was HTML'd.

But imagine if Paul Rudd was our PM. He does double-denim-clad belligerence so well. (Shades of Latham here?)





And that's not to mention this star turn as a madly leering 16-bit videogame enthusiast:





At the very least we would have had a more rousing victory speech.
