Insightful sweeties

There's these little chocolates you can get, I can't remember the name of them, Raboli or Boboli or something like that (probably nothing like that to tell you the truth!). Anyway, they're individually foiled wrapped, and inside each wrapper is a little piece of paper with a phrase or saying about love on it. Aw, ain't that cute?! There's one with the quote: "Kisses mark the minutes on the dial of love." Which is nice, but I wonder how the speaking clock would interpret it...?

"At the third stroke of the thigh, it will be three kisses to foreplay."

or

"At the third stroke of the clitoris, it will be time for love! Oh yeah!"

Resigning Liberal

Not to turn this into a political blog, after commenting on "President" Bush last week, I just had to post a little note on Charles Kennedy's resignation as Leader of the Liberal Democrats. Everyone knows how cut-throat politics can be; for Kennedy to come out and admit that yes, the speculation was true, he does have a drink problem, was a rare political truth. It was a brave step, and some may consider it a foolish one. But I think Kennedy has been ennobled by his honesty. He has always come across as affable and straight-forward, an approach that earnt him the nickname "Chatshow Charlie", but one that made a refreshing change from the usual snide nature of other politicians. Remember, his party was the only disconcerting voice against the Iraq war (the Tories backtracked, only after no WMD were found).

Now after stepping down from the leadership, Kennedy should concentrate on his family life, and spend time with his wife Sarah bringing up their young child. Politics will always have room later on for a man of his experience and know-how. If the Conservatives can welcome back William Hague, then I'm sure we will see Charles Kennedy return somewhere down the line.

Beating Bush

I've been reading a few of Michael Moore's books at the moment. I picked up 'Stupid White Men' on a whimsy in a War On Want secondhand bookstore, and found 'Dude, Where's My Country?' for cheap a few weeks later. Quite frankly , both books make for scary reading. Here is a President which didn't honestly win the election, doesn't care about the welfare state or the environment, will seemingly kill innocent foreign citizens in order to gain control of oil fields, and outrightly lied about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction.

If this scares you as well, check out www.michaelmoore.com to find out more. I'm not a US citizen, but my grandfather was born in New York, so maybe I could claim American citizenship and help impeach this guy! Let me know what you think.
