An Observation

Back in the UK, but am jet-lagged and have about a million different things to do today. So blogging will be light.

But for anyone who is in the highly unlikely position of having missed this blog whilst I have been living the high life across the pond, I'll offer a quick observation. There are many differences between the US and the UK, and some similarities. One of the similarities is the state of our incumbent political leaders. The US has a gormless, redneck fucktard whooping around the White House, whilst we have a dour drip who increasingly resembles a septic sore on the face of the country in Downing Street. Let's face it, we both have morons for leaders.

However one of the key differences is that there is some hope for the US. Be it Obama, be it McCain - change is coming. And whilst neither one of those candidates would be anyone's dream President, they are both likely to be a fuck of a lot better than Bush Junior. Here in the UK, there is no hope on the immediate horizon. We have Brown until 2010 - despite his gross incompetence, there seems to be little chance of unseating the unelected social and political cripple for over a year.

And the cause of this difference between the UK and the US? Term limits and fixed dates for elections. I'm not an advocate for either; however Gordon is making me actively reconsider my position...
