Fnurgle! Now why don't people write stuff like that about American politicians?

Aieeeee. I quit reading after the sentence "This is what happens when the only tv you watch is BtVS and CNN."

The mind really truly boggles.

Teresa, I want to thank you for posting that. I just read it to my workmate and we had a good laugh. The thing is, it's exactly like watching Newsnight, and yet...it's different when you read it.

Andrew, will Chirac/Bush do? I found it on a very frustrating webpage, http://www.michaelkelly.fsnet.co.uk/slash.htm, that lists some startling teamups that can't currently be read because the authors can't find a server willing to host their material.

I'd like to know what possessed someone to write slash about A.J.P. Taylor with Hugh Trevor-Roper, A.J.P. Taylor with Kenneth Clark, and an S/M scene involving Wittgenstein and Popper. Not to mention the one taking place in an alternate universe in which Bush, Blair, Chirac and Saddam are all new girls at a boarding school.

An S/M scene involved Wittgenstien and Popper. Oh dear. And I was freaked by West Wing slash. I really am conventional aren't ?

Well, sometimes.
