So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

I used to like Channel 4 News, but 6.00pm on the BBC suits me better. I watched Channel 4 tonight though and was mighty pissed when the journo in Spain spent the entire 5 minutes of her in-depth investigation into the Spanish Election results asking if the Socialists' victory was a result for the terrorists. What the fuck is that supposed to be about. Sure the Madrid bomb blast had a major effect on the turnout and hence on the result, but to try and pin the result on Al Qaeda gives them just a bit too much cred. Perhaps if Tone's good buddy Aznar hadn't tried to milk a catastrophe for his own party's ends, by continuing to point the blame at ETA, then maybe the Spanish electorate wouldn't have felt so much like they had been lied to by their own government, and seen through them.P.S. How come all Tone's pals are such a bunch of right wing scum anyway?
