Goodbye Tony

As Tony Blair steps down and Brown suites up, the US finds itself a little more lonely in this increasingly paranoid and power hungry world. If Brown cannot help us, nobody can.

Jimi understood it in "Castles Made of Sand", Bill embraced it with his diplomacy and even hand. Cheney and Rumsfield f*cked it all up and sadly the US finds itself in a rut that would have never been if events after 9/11 had been handled with justice and candor. But we cannot go on shouting in the wind and neither can we wait for 2008. We've seen a failed election before and my faith in the American hoi polloi is in a lull. It's upon us to influence and ingratiate our fellow Coloradans. Hell we already got Smith, and Andrew is turning out to be a fine piece of democratic machinery.

The US finds itself in an increasingly hostile environment. Latin America has Chavez, Russia has Putin, North Korea - Kim Jong Il (im so ronery..!), and in the Middle East we are our own worst enemies. An incessed Brown at the British PM and the US will slowly lose its stranglehold over Western Europe. Where do we find ourselves then? With a black president? Another Clinton? Can this country understand and undertake such drastic change that we can effectively mitigate our inflated ego and become an equitable world player?

....shit. I went to lunch and now that I've come back I don't care nor have the energy to finish this. When do we implement nap time Senator Obama for a more productive and well rested working force? Of course, I shouldn't have stayed out till 12 last night with Ria...mmmmm sleep..
