Yes. It's yet another political post on your friends-list.

So. That's the end of that then. Bush for another four years. I felt slightly sick after watching Bush's speech followed by Blair's. That was far too much for my poor stomach to handle in one go.

One of the BBC news commentators said something that I thought was very true: The next four years of Bush being in office will further highlight the cultural differences between Europe and the US. Amongst many things, the US is experiencing an increase in church going whereas Europe is a largely post-Christian society (with some large exceptions).

This little video is very amusing. Bush and Blair as seen on Swedish(?) TV. I can't for the life of me remember where I got the link from - possibly the depths of [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes.

I'm off to bed. My head hurts.

The space in my garage is still available...

Thanks, doll! For the next four years, I think I'll be bouncing between your garage, a dormroom in Leeds, and a couch in Toronto. I'll make hot cocoa.

Oh my god. I'll be 28 when Bush leaves office. I'm having an existential crisis! And? That's only if he does leave. He might have instituted himself as emperor by then, or removed the two-term limit. Aaaghhh! *runs in circles*

Ah ha! I couldn't remember what the person had said who linked to it but I obviously had subconciously!

It's done so perfectly isn't it - someone must have sat through a lot of Bush and Blair footage to get the mouth movements so well!
