The Blair Colonies Are Thriving

Tim Blair’s commenters have planted the flag all over the world. Let’s see what they’re up to…

1) Kae loves books – which would be enough to recommend her to Paco Enterprises, even if she wasn’t a gorgeous red-head – but it seems that the Australian government is making it tough to import books published abroad.

2) The Obamunists are going to rue the day they came out with an official Obama logo, as Mr. Bingley demonstrates.

3) The Shadowlands posts something that claims to be the worst music video ever. It is pretty bad, but I’m sure my readers can probably find worse.

4) TimT says “wipe that smile off your face!”

5) Boy on a Bike prepares for another problem-free week of restful cycling.

6) KC gives us a sample of the Menkenesque Bob Tyrrell.

Thanks. I remember being told years ago that a smile would be interpreted by most animals as aggressive because it involved the baring of teeth. Ever since then I've viewed the human smile with slight suspicion. It's certainly true that a lot of the forced smiles one sees in ads/on the faces of politicians/dubious schoolmasters seems to be a lie. One thinks of Chaucer:

The smiler with his knif under the cloke...

Then again, some smiles really are nice. Julia Roberts, for instance...
