Oh, I forgot to mention. When I gave the interview today (today still being Thursday in my head), the woman took it in shorthand. She said she'd never had to write "archaeologist" in shorthand before. Heh.


I've just woken up, having gone to bed at 8pm Thursday (I'm going back to bed shortly). I checked the ABC "Just In" news, only to be greeted by the following headline:

British Conservatives choose Howard as leader

What the hell? I think. I read the little paragraph underneath, and I discover that the British Conservative Party (the Tories, unless I'm mistaken. Bet you didn't know I knew that, right? At least, it certainly used to be. *whistles*) have elected a gentleman named Michael Howard to resolve their current leadership crisis.

Still, I'm amused.

What Howard were you thinking before you read the article?

Our Howard, of course. Our PM? Little Johnnie? Part of that axis of evil, Bush, Blair and Howard?

*snerk* I only remember my own president's name becuase it's repeated so often and with such vhemenence... Names aren't my forte, remember? ^^;

*giggles* It's all right, we love you anyway.

Moe Howard, perhaps? :)

I say we make the Americans vote in a Howard. I'm sure we've got one spare, somewhere...

Damned Howards. Just like our Howard, the man is a complete tool - but then, my opinion is based on something going around British weblogs of about forty positions and stances Michael Howard has taken during his political career.

A Howard Ban, I reckon.

Well, you know. Conservatory leader and all that. Just pray he doesn't get elected.

i think you'll find it's still the Torries.

*whispers* One R, dear.

It is still the Tories...
*deep breath* there follows a party political dissing.

I was in favour of the Tories dumping IDS, the man who had a complete charisma-ectomy, because otherwise the Tories wouldn;t be electable.

Now don;t get me wrong, I'd rather put sensitive parts of my anatomy in a food processor before seeing the tories get in power again - but we need an opposition party. I don't know how familiar people are w/ British politics, but basically Blair's New Labour (aka "Right Wing Bush Bitches Masquerading as Socialists") has such a massive majority in the commons that Blair does whatever he wants. Unquestioned. We used to have an absolute monarch. Now we have an Absolute Prat.

But then I learned that Howard won... and that's scary. The man makes Thatcher look MODERATE. He's talking all nice nice, but this man has a swaztica bed spread and a little mussolini teddy dictator. And he;s an idiot - already he's crying the "we will cut taxes and increase services at the same time" line. Last I checked, he couldn't spin straw into gold.

*is very afraid*

Woah. Sucks to be you guys.

You're not kidding. I'm actually supporting the Lib Dems now... ye gods, how we have fallen.

Bush may be a prat, but at least the Americans can say they're being lead by an American Prat (no matter how much they would like to disown him). Our Prat has just enslaved us to another, bigger Prat.
