Introducing ACE , to whom I turn to on all matters sartorial:

President Obama Strolls Down Pennsylvania Avenue Wearing Smart Engish-Cut Suit; Michelle, Meanwhile, Wears Ceremonial T’k'arnanth Klingon Battledress

Hey, nice dress. Who shot the curtains?

Ace says curtains are sooooo last season. But private jets are very now…

A reader writes on killer cute dogs:

This reminds me, was sitting in the vets some years ago with my Norfolk perched on my knee regarding the client and her pet opposite. The client opposite observed my terrier’s sweet expressive face ( she was very pretty)and my reply was she always looks like that when food is being prepared.

Norfolks’ and Norwichs’ were bred to catch and kill rats……

The Hoppicopter is evolving into a comfortably single-seat helicopter that will supply you with cheap air transportation.

By Frank Tinsley

BACK in the 30’s, a Seattle aeronautical engineer named Horace T. Pentecost became convinced that he could design a set of personal wings. As an engineer and student of aviation history, Pentecost was well aware of the shortcomings of man-made flapping wings, so he gave the problem an entirely different solution. In place of rosy pinions, he substituted the whirling blades of the modern helicopter. His first machine, designed for army paratroopers, was intended to supplant the clumsy and uncontrollable parachute.

A reader writes: Pope Goes Mad!

Possibly that should be Pope goes even madder; I doubt that I could be even minimally polite about the twat but you might want to write something on this…

Pope On A Dope

…thus allowing me to explain just why the Vatican’s actions, or lack of them, re Hitler were an abrogation of many centuries of  Papal duties, quite apart from the whole ‘love thy neighbour’ bit.

Should you ever have the time to read it I commend to you Leon Poliakov’s ‘Jewish Bankers and the Holy See from the 13th to the 17th Century’.

James Danziger, Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel look-alike, spots Indonesian Ilham Anas, now earning income as an Obama double.

Jim Young of Reuters took the picture on which the Obama icon is based.

Reuters are understandably somewhat put out on their own and Young’s behalf, but like it or not, Fairey’s use of the picture are well within the parameters of “fair use”. His transformative use of the image – both in flipping and re-orienting it, adding jacket and tie and the “O” Obama logo, and converting it to his block print style make it consistent with all legal precedents for use.

It’s a redistribution of art…
