Entryism?

David T. of Harry's Place notes that the latest cultural advisor to be "parachuted" into Boris Johnson's London by the Tory establishment to "keep on eye on" him happens to be a member of the wacky RCP/Living Marxism/IoI/Sp!ked cabal.

50 Authors, 25 Libaries, One Big Party

There's this thing called the Contra Costa Library Reading Festival on May 16 through 18, presented by Target.

And I'm 1/50th of the authors, so I'm going to be at the Pinole Library on Friday, May 16, 4 pm.

That's Steve McDonald on the bass, looks like. There is allegedly a new Sparks album coming out any day now, and the song titles are great

Commenting on political stuff, whatever you say, only makes people mad, so it's hardly worth doing because who needs the aggravation? But say what you will about Boris Johnson, and notwithstanding the probability that he will spend most of his term as London's mayor traveling around to various places to apologize for this or that, the man is a comic genius. The serious-minded see his victory as a sad commentary on something or other and warn of an impending apocalypse the likes of which mankind has never seen, or something. And no doubt they're right, more or less, in some vague way. Yet even though, or maybe because, we're not supposed to, I and shallow people like me are secretly looking forward to a wild ride. Don't say we shouldn't: it only makes it funner. Or rather, go ahead, say it. Maximize the fun. That's the idea.
