Cleggers Prays Not

Is it us, or does Christmas come earlier every year? News has fallen off a cliff in the last 48 hours since the terrific excitement of Cleggers' election. And yes, we are including the announcement of the Cleggers "front bench team" (actually front-bench-and-a-bit-off-to-the-side team).

BONG! He might not believe in God, but he does believe in Vince. Cable's deputy leader, Huhne's in Home Affairs and Lembit Opik's been given housing so he can find somewhere to live for all his Romanian friends.

BONG! Jack is the most popular boy's name for the 13th year running. Big movers included Mohammed, but not for bears.

BONG! Four thousand square miles of sea bed around Britain are to be preserved - but only because all the bloody fish have gone.

BONG! A village in West Yorkshire is holding its own referendum on the EU Treaty. The result's pretty obvious, but we can be sure that they'll speak as they find, there's nowt so queer as folk, and with Clegg leading the LibDems is it too late for a Last of the Summer Wine reference?

BONG! Railway engineering works on New Years Eve! It's like the Millennium Dome fiasco all over again! Though this time without Added Popular Leader!

BONG! And on a slow news day, it falls to us to link to the biggest story of the day: the National Enquirer reckons John Edwards has a love child. The fact that everyone's denying it doesn't stop the Enquirer, who've got access to unnamed close friends!
