Random news

Good evening. This is George Truly and today's news, possibly even the weather, if there's time. Oh, there is? Oooookay. We'll make something up. And by the way, I planned to wear pants this time, but it just felt so, you know, unnatural. So no pants this time either. But on to today's news.

Writer's block

A noted blog writer, also known for his striking handsomeness, suffered from writer's block. So instead of a serious entry, he decided to do a "funny" "news" item, for the crapillionth time. Yawn.

Political strategy revealed


The Finnish prime minister has been under heavy pressure because his party suffered a defeat in the communal election lately. Also he's been heavily criticized by many for daring to suggest solutions to problems. Today he revealed the new strategy for his party in an interview: spinelessness and outright lying. "We'll promise anything the voters want. Anything! For instance, I usually promise either lower and higher taxation, depending on the situation. Then I'll just weasel out of it later, somehow", he was quoted saying.

Lex Nokia effective

The Finnish communications minister, supposedly an expert in matters related to information society, couldn't be reached for a comment about Lex Nokia last week. Today it was revealed that it was because she was a victim of an unfortunate series of accidents. First, her mobile phone dropped in the toilet. When she tried to rescue it, her palmtop fell in too. Then her hand got wedged in with the two appliances so that she was stuck in the toilet. She was stuck for several days and was only discovered incidentally by a cleaner because, for some reason, her expertise wasn't required by anybody for anything.

Economy plunge

The economy continued to plunge. Sadly, hardly any suit-wearing scamps calling themselves "investment bankers" were kicked in the nuts by the authority despite badly deserving it.

Nobel scandal

A well-known blog writer was harshly denied by the Nobel academy when he proposed a new Nobel Prize for achievements in besserwisserism. This was considered unjust by the famous writer, humbly willing to appear anonymous, because he knew everything.

The weather for investment bankers

Climate will continue to be pleasant in the comfort of your SUV for some time. However, the angry masses will soon rise from the horizon, tear you out of the disgusting, over-priced, polluting, paid-for-by-a-scam vehicle and hang you naked from a lamp post. Which, objectively, serves you right.

The weather for angry masses

The short-term weather forecast for angry masses shows lots of turmoil, tear gas and bricks flying around. Some truncheoning by the pigs is likely too. However, it will get calmer later, and by the way, the moral justice is on your side.

The weather for the upper lower middle class


The climate in your suburbian sauna will continue to be nicely warm and humid. The comforting glow of your flat screen TV, along with the depressives offered by your local will continue to sedate you just nicely so you don't have to worry about anything. However, beware of the political awareness rising from the horizon, which might turn you into angry masses.

Les music videos

Regarding the previous post: I kind of knew that it's stupid to link to YouTube videos, because they'll get deleted in time. And the time in which that happened this time was surprisingly short. I'd like my blog writings to have an ageless quality to them, and obviously non-working links seriously undermine that ambition. But I just couldn't resist the temptation. And I can't resist it now, either, so check out this video by the coolest guy that ever lived:
