Don’t say “Molotov Cocktails”…
They say “Petrol Bombs.”

or
The Little Luddites

Technology is
Competition for children
Craving attention.

“Tunisian Protesters Continue Post-Dictator”

When trees fall, splinters
Stay behind.  No rest until
The ground is swept clean.

Easy solutions:
Blame teachers, blame unions, blame…

  1. It’s true. The British don’t say “Molotov Cocktail.” It might have something to do with their tacit support of the Stalin government during WWII — and the fact that they could look the other way while Finland was invaded by the Soviets — or maybe its just that the British are above using pop culture cliches.

    Either way, St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner. A good excuse as any to challenge British imperialism if I ever heard one!
