These are a few of my favourite things

FAVOURITE NEWS ARTICLE FOR TODAY:
“Reflectors will be attached to captive elephants in New Delhi to ensure they are visible to drivers at night to prevent collisions, a report said yesterday.”
From The Age

FAVOURITE NEWS HEADLINE:
‘Son of Star Wars’ too costly for phantom menace: NZ
Concerning the New Zealand Government’s entirely rational decision to not get involved in the US missile shield program.

FAVOURITE QUOTE CONCERNING A POSSIBLE WAR IN IRAQ
Jeremy Paxman: And you believe American intelligence?
Tony Blair: Well I do actually believe this intelligence.
Jeremy Paxman: Because there are a lot of dead people in an aspirin factory in Sudan who don't.

FAVOURITE SONG LYRICS:
“It's like my mother always told me, rana rana rana rana rana rana rana rana rana rana and codeine and / goddammit you little muthafucker if you ain't got nuthin' nice to say then don't say nuthin'.”

CURRENT FAVOURITE AUSTRALIAN POLITICIAN:
John Stanhope, Chief Minister of the ACT, where I happen to live. Currently attempting to push through a comprehensive law reform proposal to remove any discrimination from ACT legislation against gays, lesbians, bisexual, transgender and intersex people. Canberra is renowned in Australia for having legalised prostitution and pornography, and decriminalised marijuana for personal use. I think it would be great if it also had the most progressive laws regarding gender and sexuality. Hey Doug, do I get to be an honorary lesbian now?

FAVOURITE CELEBRITY WEBSITE:
Sir Ian Mckellan’s (a.k.a. Gandalf/Richard III/Magnito etc.) Homepage
Everything you ever wanted to know about The Lord of the Rings, Shakespeare on stage and screen, and gay activism. The guy just rawks.

FAVOURITE LORD OF THE RINGS RELATED WEBSITE:
The Lords of the Rhymes
Bombadil aka B-dil aka MC First and Fatherless has been dropping hobbit rhymes since naught but ents roamed the hills of middle-earth. That's right: sucker MCs, wargs and wildmen beware... Ol' Tom's older than your mama's mama's mama and he's got the song for you and yours.
What else can I say, except:
Elf booty got soul!
Elf girls like to rock’n’roll!
