I'm very troubled. I got a letter today from the Conservative Party, asking me to renew my membership. To my shock, there where the historic logo of the arm holding the torch should have been, was a tree. That's right, a tree...
I'm not sure I can bring myself to give support to a tree, trees are not what I'm about. What are you doing David Cameron? I want Maggie back, one could always count on the Iron Lady!   or

Hang on... you're a member of the Conservative Party, and yet you didn't know about the change of logo?
 As someone wrote in a letter to the Daily Telegraph, at least the tree leans to the right... |

Nothing has the power to kill a Thread like a dull political discussion. This situation could be serious.

The fun thing about the internet is that , unlike real life, you get people willing to admit to being part of esoteric fringe extermist groups like The Conservative Party or readers of the Telegraph...

Not that it really affects me, since I'm not a member of the Conservative Party (or any political party). |

But a child could have drawn it!
I'm not giving them any more money, if they're just going to waste it like that!

(Nothing But) Flowers ----------------------------- Here we stand Like an Adam and an Eve Waterfalls The Garden of Eden Two fools in love So beautiful and strong The birds in the trees Are smiling upon them From the age of the dinosaurs Cars have run on gasoline Where, where have they gone? Now, it's nothing but flowers There was a factory Now there are mountains and rivers you got it, you got it We caught a rattlesnake Now we got something for dinner we got it, we got it There was a shopping mall Now it's all covered with flowers you've got it, you've got it If this is paradise I wish I had a lawnmower you've got it, you've got it Years ago I was an angry young man I'd pretend That I was a billboard Standing tall By the side of the road I fell in love With a beautiful highway This used to be real estate Now it's only fields and trees Where, where is the town Now, it's nothing but flowers The highways and cars Were sacrificed for agriculture I thought that we'd start over But I guess I was wrong Once there were parking lots Now it's a peaceful oasis you got it, you got it This was a Pizza Hut Now it's all covered with daisies you got it, you got it I miss the honky tonks, Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens you got it, you got it And as things fell apart Nobody paid much attention you got it, you got it I dream of cherry pies, Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies you got it, you got it We used to microwave Now we just eat nuts and berries you got it, you got it This was a discount store, Now it's turned into a cornfield you got it, you got it Don't leave me stranded here I can't get used to this lifestyle David Byrne ruled when he was in Talking Heads |

No, a child would have made the crown nice and round. And probably added some pretty red apples. And a child would have gotten the colour of the trunk right, too. I always thought that *that* green with *that* blue is the ugliest combination ever. -

I must be alone in not hating it. Don't get me wrong - I don't think it's particularly great - but I also don't think that it's utterly abysmal.
Anyway, this is way off-topic. The Conservative Party? DIE, THREAD™! |

Correct. But if you had I'd have found that slightly weird. Particularly as - for the record - it would be impossible to truthfully describe me as "cute".
