I was hoping that the first Presidential debate on Wednesday night would provide some inspiration for a scathing, satirical condemnation of the American right and its ridiculous candidate to be the leader of the free world. Unfortunately it was boring as shit and I fell asleep after about half an hour of their to-ing and fro-ing over what Romney’s taxation policies are/were/aren’t/weren’t. The only conclusion I can draw from these election campaigns is that American voters are still completely preoccupied with Al Qaieda, the ‘threat’ posed by China and paying as little tax as possible. This country is mental, paranoid and I would rather live and pay my tax dollars just about anywhere else in the world.
Still, its bloody nice for a holiday so let us continue.
Yesterday it was 27 degrees and we went sunbathing in the park.
Glorious.
