 | Well, it's official. Democracy in Afghanistan actually works better than in the USA. The news that Kerry has just conceded depresses me immensely - unless and only unless he is just messing with Bush, and is going to keep calling every hour or so to remove or replace his hat from or in the ring, in a genius tribute to Al Gore. I can understand why he's done it, but by God could we not at least have pretended for another ten days. Every vote counted? Every vote counting?
Still and all, as a wise head on Metafilter observed, at least the collapse of the US economy is going to make DVDs cheaper, although troops may well then invade to bring those DVDs back home to a triumphant public. I am already planning a TV movie in which a TV movie based on the rescue of a heroic American soldier by special forces is rescued by special forces.
Miracles and wonders. West Ham look to sign a player who clearly only exists in Championship Manager 3 - this is generally considered a bad idea, no matter how tasty they were in the game - lest we forget, this was the thinking behind Ibrahima Bakayoko's ultimately unfulfilling time at Everton.
What an interesting world we have to look forward to. While aware of the need to retain electability, and without a majority in both houses and on the Supreme Court, Bush has managed, it seems, to create a situation in which 1 in 200 people in Iraq is now not people anymore. That's pretty good going, but I can only salivate at what we can achieve in the never-ending war on Tairrrrrrrr now that the checks and balances have checked out. I'm not fancying the 22nd Amendment's chances, either.
