Well, the polls are about to close even in tardy BC, sluggards that we are, and I've no doubt we'll still have the same Prime Minister as we had when they opened. But if the Full Moon isn't having any undue influence on Canadian politics, it has Gordon Brown baying at the moon, and God bless ye sir.
My son, Austen, had been selected to sit on the board that sets the English Key Stage 3 S.A.T.s paper this year. He had weathered all the jokes about being sent to Coventry (even, sad to say, from me). As he was preparing to travel to Coventry to do this, the news came that the government had abolished the KS3 SATs. It must be said that there had been a massive marking debacle this year and the general pfaffing about that these cause is legendary. I was therefore, annoyed yet again at the Graun for reporting this as 'a U-turn.'
Do what Squire?
It's not like they had been trying to push for them to be introduced, a more accurate way of reporting this would be 'unexpected reform'.
Way to go Gordon. (And yer still lucky you don't live here mate, because they'd call you 'Gord' or 'Gordie' and we'd all have to laugh).
Ah well. The Canadian financial markets seem to have had a good day. Let's hope it continues.
I was excessively smug about Gordon saying yesterday that executives of Banks that had been to the government for handouts, would not be getting bonuses. Good man, it needed saying, it needed doing.
Ah, politics, I miss it.

The news here is reporting that Harper's back in.
Liberal bloke conceded.
I'd rather have a Jock in charge while the finances go tits up!
Hahaha!!! That's a bloody good point!
And yeah, looks like it with Harper. He's an arse and the French bloke was just lame. Hopefully now the Libs'll have a leadership argument again and this time they'll get Ignatieff who at least has a bit of fire.
The French bloke did look a bit, wet.
