This is a travesty that I thought I should bring to your attention. A high school student has been prevented from being valedictorian due to his disability.
Check out his full story here.

More gubernatorial highjinks
&bull posted by Matt Wharton @ 5:32 PM
Oh what fools we are. I have now found an even better candidate.
Mary Carey. See her at http://www.marycareyforgovernor.com/
With the following policies she is headed for success surely.
3. Make lap dances a tax deductible business expense. This will help grease the wheels of business in California and stimulate our economy.
4. If I’m elected Governor, I will wire the Governor’s Mansion with live web cams in every room. We will create a pay site, and all money collected will go toward reducing the deficit. Californians will get to see their government in action - literally! (Also, we will have people from around the globe helping to pay off our debt, so it doesn’t all fall on the shoulders of Californians.)
5. I will create a “Porn for Pistols” program to take handguns off the streets. Dealing with the violence and injuries associated with handguns is a huge drain on our state's resources.
6. As Governor, I will recruit fellow performers from the adult video industry as ambassadors of good will. These ambassadors will be a great help to California when it comes to such things as negotiating rates for buying electricity from neighboring states.
7. I will coordinate the state’s unemployment and jury systems, so that anyone who applies for unemployment will instantly be called for jury duty. This will save California state and local governments millions of dollars, because we won’t have to pay for jury duty. It will also relieve those with jobs from the stress of serving on lengthy juries.
Actually I think number 7 is quite good.

Reva Renee Renz for Governer
&bull posted by Matt Wharton @ 5:10 PM
I have been bemused by the ongoing electioneering that is currently happening in California. But I have now found a candidate I can get behind, Reva Renee Renz.
She is a leggy blond bar owner who lists 'the five greatest individuals who ever lived?' as
1. My Father
2. Jesus
3. Gandhi
4. George Washington
5. Abe Lincoln
visit her site at http://revareneerenzforgovernor.org/

Dante's Inferno Test

Dante's Inferno Test
Jesus Christ!
I just tried that test and I am Level 7 (violent).
I am going to hell in a handbasket being anally raped by cheesemongers.
Level 7
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guarded by the Minotaur, who snarls in fury, and encircled within the river Phlegethon, filled with boiling blood, is the Seventh Level of Hell. The violent, the assasins, the tyrants, and the war-mongers lament their pitiless mischiefs in the river, while centaurs armed with bows and arrows shoot those who try to escape their punishment. The stench here is overpowering. This level is also home to the wood of the suicides- stunted and gnarled trees with twisting branches and poisoned fruit. At the time of final judgement, their bodies will hang from their branches. In those branches the Harpies, foul birdlike creatures with human faces, make their nests. Beyond the wood is scorching sand where those who committed violence against God and nature are showered with flakes of fire that rain down against their naked bodies. Blasphemers and sodomites writhe in pain, their tongues more loosed to lamentation, and out of their eyes gushes forth their woe. Usurers, who followed neither nature nor art, also share company in the Seventh Level.
Jesus Christ!

Jewish member of the National Front
&bull posted by Matt Wharton @ 5:56 PM
Reading The Observer today I was dumbfounded when I read the following.
Sandra Morris, 56, is Jewish but has been a member of the National Front for 17 years. 'Nationalism has not always embraced powerful women,' she says. 'But the old image of what role women should have in the party isn't practical any more.'
I had always thought the National Front was anti-semetic but apparently not, but if it is I wonder what think they think of having a Jewish woman as a member.

More Free running
&bull posted by Matt Wharton @ 11:23 AM
I feel I should clarify my previous post. Having read it today I seemed to have suggested that I flew round my house or something. Actually I used to leap from a piece of furniture to another and clamber around and swing on doorframes.
I then took this out of the home and would play on building sites and climb and leap around the scaffolding.

Free running
&bull posted by Matt Wharton @ 8:17 PM
The French invent Free Running and the British invent wheelbarrow freestyle. C'est le difference.
http://www.wheelbarrowfreestyle.com
Actually the French didn't invent Free Running as I was doing similar stuff about 15 years ago when I was a kid including travelling round the rooms of my house without touching the floor.
