November 5-now we can get back to normal

So the American election is over-Obama won.

I'm happy about this for several reasons, firstly the Democrats are back in, and secondly, and perhaps more importantly, we Brits no longer have to read about it everyday. I think there was far too much coverage of the election in the British press, I bet the Americans don't have half as much coverage of our elections.

There is one woman I'm going to miss though, Sarah Palin. Not because she was a political genius, no, but because of the humour she brought to so many lives. If she had got to the white house, the world would have been a far funnier, (albeit disorganised) place.

What will become of Bush?

The one person who seems to have been forgotten recently, is George Bush. He hasn't got long in his presidency left, and he's certainly not making the most of it-I don't think he's actually done anything recently-(except star in a film about his life of course-Josh Brolin really looks so much like him!)

So what will he do once his terms over??? Here are a few suggestions, some obvious....some not so obvious

  • write an autobiography, go figure
  • hook up with Sarah Palin and run as her vice president when she runs for president in 4 years time! (Granted this is not actually allowed but neither of them are exactly the brightest crayons in the box and they probably haven't read the rule book) this really would be a dream team
  • become Barak Obama's personal stalker (this is what ex London Mayor Ken Livingstone seems to be doing to new Mayor Boris Johnson-I spotted him skulking in the back at the London Assembly last month. If he can do it, why can't Dubya?)
  • start up a range of clothing, 'powersuits for the not so powerful man'
  • go off to Afghan and fight with all the other men (yeah right)
  • salesman, he's very convincing, after all he managed to blag his way into the white house for 8 long years !
Incedentally another important thing happened on the 5th November....the Starbucks cups went back to red! Long live the christmas cup!!!!!!!!!!
