Gave Bill a call, had to get the latest scoop from the UK. Looks like our loyal aly and stalwart defender of the free world from Socialism Tony Blair is likely to get the chop if he tries to help invade Iraq. So despite all the visits to Washington, support at the UN and such all their support means is that they will 'allow' us to use our base at Diego Garcia which we have occupied since WW II and would have used with or without their permission. More salacious gossip emerges concerning the bedroom antics of the previous government. Turns out that Johnny Major, who held the fort after Thatcher until Blair took over, was spending afternoons doing horizontal jogging with another minister. Everyone is amazed because he was the grey man who was so boring he ran away from a circus to become an accountant. Running on a morality ticket was the give-away of course. The wags there are saying that it was 'back to base-six', not back to basics. By all accounts it was a pretty carnal cabinet, as Bill put it "four ministers defenestrated for being caught performing extra-curricular activities with the old trouser sausage". 10:02:46 PM  Comment []

How on earth did he get there? Oh yes I remember, daddy was President. Just shows how in a classless society like ours you can get anywhere, even become President without passing any classes. Just watched him throwing out red meat to the faithful like an old trooper, those horrid Democrats in the Senate, how can they be so partisan? Fortunately the media are so cowed they don't even point out the obvious hypocrisy. It's like playing basketball with a hoop to shoot at the size of a dinner table, the poor Dem's hoop is smaller than their ball. Fortunately these days most are on our side and those that are not are scared stiff of being bulled by Coulter and co. I really must have her round to the Governor's mansion when I get there, I am certain she is game. It will be a dull day on the talking head circuit tommorrow. Wellstone obituaries and the beltway sniper. Fortunately this has cleared away all those awkward questions about why we are going to invade Iraq because it might be building a bomb despite denials while we are not going to invade North Korea who can't afford a bomb but have told us they are building one. 9:38:38 PM Comment []

With campaigning suspended for the weekend took time for some exercise with Tina, who has been working on the campaign on weekend breaks from college. She had heard about the office closing but had come down "to see if I can help in any way". And did she ever, in two positions. Afterwards I wrote an address on the need to preserve familly values. After all who knows more about familly values than someone who has more than one? 12:04:45 PM Comment []

There is nothing so heartwarming as to see a public official desperately trying to defend the indefensible. "There was nothing he told us three months ago or last night that would lead us to believe Mr. Muhammad or Mr. Malvo would have the kind of future that led them to where they are today," This after the FBI are told that Muhammad is looking for a way to fix a silencer to a sniper rifle to 'go and shoot cops'. One has to wonder how long it is going to be before the press wise up to the fact that the drop in the crime figures has nothing to do with our policy of locking as many people up as we possibly can and has everything to do with demographics. When the teen to mid 20s population starts to rise again everything will go into reverse. Probably time to make a prophetic claim about how the current success in crime fighting will be undermined in future years as those do-good liberals get their way with 'reform'. One has to wonder why Wayne and Chucky Heston get their pants all up in a twist over federal databases when the FBI can't even get their act together when told that someone is going out to kill cops. Still should give the boys a call and tell them that I sympathise, might be good for a bung from one of their PACs. Best time for it since I won't be expected to campaign with any of their crazed fruitcakes in return. If they send $10K my way and it all goes on advertising that would make Stuart's share what $500? That's two hours with Linda or another contribution to the retirement fund. 10:29:46 AM Comment []
