25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I think it's great the president took time out from his busy schedule of dehumanising minorities, golf, and murdering Venezuelan fisherman to accept this peace prize.
I think we can all agree that his life's work is now complete and he can go and lie down for a really long time.

As Dublin, so Scotland. Two separate cafes yesterday, wall to wall shitey Christmas music.
But a funny moment was provided: the friend I was with stopped sipping her green tea to ask "is this Meatloaf playing?" It was Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
