The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...
The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
That sums it up.
Love the likeness to the swedish chef. Classic!
This is totally unbelievable. Brownlee would never sit around and watch food being destroyed in front of him.
He would get to eat the mess as a sort of bonus?
Nice except for one nagging issue…dates may actually turn out to be raisins/choc chips/inedible pieces of rock but otherwise bon appetit !
11. Extract dates from scones by sticking your grubby finger in and pulling them out. Offer said scones to tourists.
With lavish butter.
The chef’s hat is down over his eyes – deliberately I’m sure. He can’t see whether they are dates or raisins or what, but to crack an awful old joke –
“Call him Muscatel – that boy sure wants raisin'”!

Brownlee is a familiar caricature of one of Gen-Y’s favourite villians – from a Captain Planet fansite: http://www.turner.com/planet/static/hoggish.html
Profile: A villain of pig-like proportions, Hoggish Greedly lives to devour the Earth’s natural resources. His love for overconsumption extends to every aspect of his behavior and is particularly evident in his “sloppy” eating habits.
Greedly goes after precious gems and minerals, noble forests, endangered species – whatever will satiate his enormous appetite for any rare, nonrenewable resource. Wherever he strikes, Greedly leaves waste and destruction in his wake.
Hoggish Greedly’s repugnant, hog-like looks are accentuated by his snuffling manner and snorting interjections. Greedly is well aware of his piggish mannerisms. In fact, he delights in using his grossness to frighten and disgust his opponents. His clothes may vary from episode to episode but his preference for a pig motif – whether in clothes, accessories or machinery – remains consistent.
Brownlee fits the bill for that description BUT its far simpler, as in the picuted swedish chef he is a MUPPET.
