I never never never thought I’d say this.
Never.
But a politician has made me feel better. Hopeful. Starting to believe in a better tomorrow. And I’m only on page 25 of his book.
Yes. His book. For I picked up The Audacity of Hope at the weekend. And today at lunch was the first chance I had to read it. Yes, I didn’t get very far but, to be honest, he had me at the end of the Prologue.
He has ideas. Ideas. And I think we can all admit we need a few ideas. I like the fact that he has admitted that he, or any politician for that matter, can’t solve all the world’s problems… but ideas. Yes.
And before you say anything. I know I live in the UK and I have no voice when it comes to choosing the next President but please, Americans, please remember that you are not just choosing your leader, you are choosing the person who decides the direction of our economy and foreign policy too.
Our current leader’s balls are kept in separate jars on the desks of two people – his wife’s and George Bush’s. (I wonder if Bush has let Tony have his back yet?) We will be stuck with Gordon ‘The Moron’ Brown until at least 2010 so that’s at least a year the next President will have to lead his around by his todger.
I can’t wait for 2010 when David Cameron kicks your sorry arse, Brown. There, I’ve shown my roots. Well, how could I not when the Conservative logo is this – 
Right, was going to finish this up with a meme but the book is calling me back. Me? Sleep? Not likely!
