Of course, I blame Barack Obama and Montana Wildhack for this. If you think PikeBishop (don't tell'em Pike) is bitter, how do you think I feel? I wanted Obama to be elected and then he turns round and does this to me? It's almost enough to shake my faith in politicians.<BR/><BR/>BTW, Happy Easter everyone.

The Graun doesn't like stuff that doesn't fit in with lifestyle politics. <BR/><BR/>Neil Clark has also been ruthlessly ditched, even though his articles were 10 times better than those of the average Graun hack.
