With the US currently throwing money as lost causes such as the banking system at an alarming rate, two things noted on BBC Radio 4 this afternoon are worth repeating.
The first of which is the Russian Reversal of the Cold War. During the Cold War it was Russia who was socialist and the Capitalist Pig Dogs of America who were making Godzillions of dollars on the back of the automotive miracle.
Now with AIG, GM, Wachovia etc. etc. etc. all suddenly sticking their hands out for vermillions in hand outs because they're all in the red, it's the Capitalist Pig Dogs of Russia who are making the dosh by selling the oil to power the increasingly expensive automotive millstone.
The second of which happens to be Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol. Now presumably Ms Palin wasn't aware of the city of Bristol. It would appear that both Bristol City, and Bristol Rovers fans have bought football strips bearing the name "Palin" across the back. I wound what would have happened if her daughter was called Bowness-on-Solway instead.
