every morning when i wake up, my first thoughts are how will the rest of the planet convince the us giant to climb down off its throne without breaking any more furniture, whether the huge new numbers of unemployed people will start to get creative serving each other to earn their mess of pottage, or bang pots and pans in the street till the grabberment changes, whether the climate finally flipped somewhere to the point of crushing any idealogical opposition to the concept of carbon containment, if the terrists have struck again, or what brangelina are up to...

no, no, no...

top of the front page is that we taxpayers are buying more chips for gamblers' anonymous!

yes we can deal with it all, come up with bright new ideas, share them, combine thought power with technology and push a wave of respect and understanding across the planet.

or shoot me now, i'm the lump under the covers...
