I'm back!! It's been the most hellish week of my life - i pretty much got conned, screwed, played and however else you want to put it by someone who i kinda trusted completely - but I seem to have grown up since I still care more about this whole politics shizznizz than guys. I also didn't get nominated for President (student). Cue the "boo, hiss", though tbh I do struggle to be serious at the appropriate moments.
So back to regular updates on what is happening in the world, well at least the stuff that i give a damn about. My UK headline of the week-that-i-skipped-so-ungraciously is that amongst all the SERIOUS PROBLEMS we have the SNP found a real reason to get sniffy: Jeremy Clarkson. The guy did what he does best, made a slightly inappropriate, but nonetheless absolutely-freaking-hilarious, comment about everyone's favourite PM. I would rather like to point out that No. 10 deigned not to comment. If you don't know what this means I'll explain: they don't give a flying duck (or an If You Seek A if you're a Britney fan). So what was taking up Gordy's time? Well he was busy doing what Clarkson, and anyone else at the moment, has been doing to try to "help" our situation. He slagged someone else off, namely the bankers, the latest "victims" of the blame game (although Camcam has already done this before. But then again what use is the opposition if not to give the Leadership good policies? Oh but hang on. Obama has also done it. And you wonder why Gordy would follow this line. Landslide anyone?) So everyone there you have it, taking a bonus is wrong when we're in a recession and that the immoral bankers caused this situation anyways! I like this new blame tangent! I can play the 'guess when Camcam will finally notice that it's just another excuse and uses it as his new line of offence' game. I vote 2 weeks.
(I do have to point out that I don't agree with the Banker's taking huuuugggee bonuses at any time, never mind now that we face the APOCALYPSE, i mean recession. But it seems that only Barack (or B.O. as I find it way too immaturely amusing to call him) had the intention of not using this as another way to, well, get a vote. Yes, this is where we launch into the old debate about whether UK or US democracy is better. Or not. CBA right now if I'm honest.
Okay let's go bond with Obama some more since economically the week in the US has been pretty damn shambolic. The controversy of the week, other than that Obama can't pick a cabinet, is that the Americans are finding new ways to isolate themselves, namely 'Buy American'. Since when is that a new policy?! Anyways, through what was essentially group bullying Europe and Canada have managed to influence a change in the 'Buy American' clause. Oh how very PC. Though tbh Obama does seem to be keeping cool when you compare him to our lot, especially when you consider that he wants to do something about our impending doom. Final lols from across the pond: Blair of the Tony form somehow wormed his way into meeting an inaugurated Obama first. No wonder Gordy hasn't had much to say lately: he's crying in the corner. The ghost of two decades past is still haunting him. Now he knows how Boris feels.
Finally I am gonna make an unprecedented move - to the Global stage. The Israeli elections take place today, just weeks after the 22-day Gaza war came to an end (at least for now). This, for the Israeli's, means candidates vying with each other to appear the toughest potential leader, most ready to lead the country in war. It isn't a good sign for peace. It also means that despite the fact the global crisis is hitting Israel too the economy failed to feature in much of the campaigning. A stark contrast to the US a few months ago. More Middle-East: The Iranians are ready to make friends!!! G-Obama! That will be one interesting bromance.....
