Toads and Warts

If you were running a political party, would you want somone on your staff who links to hate blogs? I guess we’ll find out how acceptable that is in the Green Party. (For those who aren’t interested in following the link, the site that Toad links to approvingly is very interested in getting a certain popular…

Ugly Women

I recall a friend who once worked in a university hall of residence. He told me he noted the good looking girls at the start of the year. During the year, having had opportunity to note their character, he decided that none were actually beautiful once the ugly inside was taken into account. I was…

Ugly Blogging

There are some ugly things on the internet. You know, I once saw a blogger threaten suicide, in comments to a post of his. Some of you will remember the situation I’m talking about. Some of his commenters mocked him and encouraged him to do it. The next post on his blog was from a…

The problem with criminals…

…is that they never when to say “enough”. It was always possible, and now it’s happened. More allegations have been filed against everyone’s favorite suspended dirty cop. I think I alluded to this possibility in an earlier post, but this blog isn’t called Halfdone for nothing. Find it yourself 🙂
