A quick journey into London today to start a project off which took me past the Central Criminal Courts (Old Bailey).
Imagine my surprise when the taxi drove past and the ever jovial London taxi driver said "There's a sight you don't see every day!" - Looking out at the Court about 50 Tony Blair's were outside the court to promote a new TV series. Needless to say it took me slightly by surprise.
Then I get home and read that Osama Bin Laden has just walked into the whitehouse.. not quite what I had expected..
A quick click on this amazing story soon puts me right as I find I've misread the surname. I find the correct name is Barack Obama US Senator ..
I mention this mistake on a webchat with my cousin in Texas as it seems mildly relevant at the time. In a flash he tells me that a black democratic senator will stand less chance than Osama Bin Laden in some states.
It looks like the Democratic party nominations could be really interesting for the next elections. Who knows if Hilary (Clinton) will stand - but if she does the battle between a female or black presidential candidate would be really interesting. - Personally I don't know enough about either's policies but think I'll start finding out. One thing I do know is that I'd rather have either than George Bush again (even if that was possible).
