this is huge

George Bush Jnr. will be out of a job and out of the White House late next year. After that, they'll need a replacement. So the election will take place in just under two years. Despite this, American media is mental with news about this election. Surely this is misguided and takes coverage away from issues that would otherwise be deemed newsworthy. Anyway the political pantomine is under way. Check it out. Obama, osama, saddam hussein, a black man who only thinks about whites - that's when he's not SMOKING.

Of course there is another election taking place - it happens this year. Starts in April in fact, in a country that former U.S secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld, the bloke who goes hunting and shoots his own friends, calls home to a bunch of cheese-eating surrender monkeys - France. More imminent and of big importance vis-a-vis all the terrible conflicts in the world, and some in their own country, the French election pits soft-socialist Segleone Royal (try saying that while eating cheese) against American surrender monkey Nicolas Sarkozy, a man quite determined to clean the scum of the streets. Nasty Nic is in front at the moment, but Mama Royal is so close to him she's catching the spray from his hose. For some reason, this election isn't getting a lot of coverage over here, yet it's only two months away - and to think, a member of the Far-Right (! cue scary music) came second the last time out. Anyway, I'll have more on this as D-day approaches.

And one more thing, the italians are at it again. Prodi has resigned after losing a senate vote on Italy's involvement in Afghanistan (remember this place, nobody talks about it anymore but the Taliban - bad - are still loitering there). So yet another italian government hits the rocks. The average Italian govt lasts about 18 months. "We're a country of madmen," said Foreign Minister Massimo D'Alema. And we love them for it!
