I know I said that yesterday would be the last time I wrote anything about the US Election… but I lied. Today is. Promise. I shall never mention John Kerry on this blog ever again. I can’t promise not to mention Bush 43, because his very nature suggests that I will need to rant about him again in the not-to-distant future. Oh well. We apologise for any inconvenience.
I must have missed the news on Tuesday (oh, which was only yesterday – I don’t feel so bad now) about John Ashcroft resigning as Attorney General. Ashcroft was, of course, the right-wing nutter who introduced the US Patriot Act (for more on the USPA see Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9-11), but more importantly, he wrote himself a theme tune for the war in Iraq (for some reason, Americans never call it the war on Iraq – anyone else noticed that?). He sang the song, called ‘Let the Eagle Soar’, in front of a press conference – and the video is available online!
Anyway, that’s it. Election and election related stuff finished with. Hasta la vista. Finito.
Except to say, if you want a comprehensive list of everything funny to do with the election, head over to About.com which has a huge section devoted to it. Top stuff.
