Why Mr. Freemarket, I Never Knew!!

Long time readers, yes, both of them, know that I like to peruse the oversea press fro their take on what's going on here in the "colonies" as some so quaintly put it. So I was perusing a site this morning that has proven to be a reliable source of financial information, historical impertenance and some understated British humor (I chuckle!) over the years and what do I find?.....This.....

To date your humble correspondent has steered clear of the forthcoming American presidential elections mainly because I am completely bored to death of the whole topic already - the process seems to have taken longer than the decline & ultimate fall of the Assyrian Empire, & yet the voting doesn’t even start until November.

Needless to say, the BBC (aka the Democratic Broadcasting Corporation) has already devoted huge amounts of time & the British taxpayers’ money to the handbagging that went on between Metrosexual Man & that Hatchet Faced Harridan because it was a win –win situation: ethnic minority or a woman. Two of their favourite causes. & when Mr Metrosexual didn’t put she who’s name shall not be mentioned on the ‘ticket’, there was a palpable gnashing of teeth from Broadcasting House & the bistros of Notting Hill.

Then there is the other party, the one that all good Euro-trash loathes. The party that nominated an OAP that it didn’t really like. Just how clever was that then? In fact when it comes to McCain, I am afraid that I just don’t buy it. He was a POW. Whilst I understand that the room service in the Hanoi Hilton leaves something to be desired, but he was a pilot right? Why wasn’t he building a secret glider in the attic or fashioning an enemy officer’s uniform out of discarded chopsticks & rice paper? Clearly McCain is no

Pat Reid.

Anyway moving quickly on while ducking, McCain has put Palin on the ticket & the collective wailing has already started in White City. Funny how Metrosexual Man’s lack of Washington experience wasn’t perceived as a weakness in the op-ed columns of The Guardian but it’s a BIG issue when it comes to Mrs Palin. Staying on the subject Guardianistas, better still, it appears that Mrs P knows her way around a firearm & boy do they hate that.

Indeed, they do. Go read the whole thing where he handles, with style, the comparison to Lady Margaret Thatcher. Most interesting.
