Fr those of you who do not know of it, Private Eye is the UK's premier satirical/political expose/humour magazine. If anyone would like a few back issues, I have a subscription, and would be happy to mail some.
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”
Hmmm... that image doesn't have the full text, I'll try and find a transcript, makes for interesting reading...

Well bugger me. This might almost be the right time to go off. On a Tim-like rant as the post I made that should be between your two posts isn't there.
Anyway, it went ....
OMG. OMG. OMG.
I love Ian Hislop. I was in stitches at the opening of the article where Assange is berrating the article Ian had written on Israel Shamir as 'crap', despite not having read it.
Laugh? I most certainly did. It was a veery refreshing view on the Assange man.
Rube, I trust Ian Hislop to not be a liar. He has made a job out of exposing bullshitters in papers, he would lose all cred (and potentially his job) if he made this shit up.
When you can't dispute the truth of the message, mock the messenger.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon lied to us about how many Iraqi civilians "coalition" forces have killed.
But let's not care about that. Let's keep on mocking Assange. After all, his name is conveniently changeable to Asswipe. And that matters far more than does the fact that our military has been lying to us. Yet again.
Get it straight, people! Who leaked the information is what matters. The information itself? Meh.
Reason is valuable only when it performs against the wordless physical background of the universe.
Pointing out that Assange makes improvident statements, even if it is true, is just changing the subject. It shows that the writer is self-obsessed like all true gossip columnists.
Tom Paine was an asshole who nearly got his head whacked off in the French Revolution, does that change the value of "The Rights of Man and the Citizen"? No? Then stop posting crap.
