Watching the defectives (on and on - pt.2)

The merry-go-round of Britain's political conference season ended last week with the conservative party rally. As usual they went on and on about electing a new leader but on this occaision the incubent made himself scarce until the end. All former bets were off as the new favourites are the old tobacco smoking sage and the new young (alleged other-smoking) pretender to the throne. We'll find out shortly one way of another.

On and on went the imperial cowboy too. A supposed important address to the Amerikan nation turned into a re-run of re-runs but without the optimism or any sense of morale boosting. There may be no turning for this president, but one wonders why he sought to offer up an excuse for his actions... "God told me to do it!" Hell - even the Blair-faced pulpit hasn't tried that one!

Later.
