Quote of the moment: "Canadian immigration officials cited by Reuters said that the number of US citizens visiting their website went up six-fold on Wednesday."

See here for details!

I wrote all of this as commentary on Podgy's latest marathon update. I thought I'd show it off, as it's actually coherent! How rare!

Bush makes people feel safe. This should not be the case, but from the small glimpse of his activities they get, thats what they think...

Kerry sucked. If, for example, George Clooney had run for President against Bush, he'd have won. He'd never have been chosen by the Democrats as their representative, because they choose on the basis of intelligent policies, not charisma. Kerry didn't, at any point, capture the moment, or hold the crowd's attention. The Republicans have known the power of charm since at least Ronald Reagan - a former (minor) Hollywood star. Bill Clinton won the nomination for his policies and the election for his charm, his twinkly eyes and his saxophone playing.

If George Clooney had run for President, he'd have captured the group that really decided the election: the "security moms". The ones who were charmed by Clinton. The ones who voted for Bush because his eyes twinkled more than Kerry's.

Also: The number of U.S. citizens visiting the Canadian Government's immigration website went up by six times on Wednesday - the day the election result was announced.

In other news, I actually got my uniform today! Hurrah! It's awesome:

• The shirts don't have tails, so they come untucked really easily when I bend down to put things on bottom shelves (and shirts always have to be tucked in).
• The trousers are too narrow around the thighs so my humoungous tree-trunk legs are gripped too tightly to allow me to crouch down (I wore my own blue baggy ones).
• The jumper is V-necked, which is for women and golfers.

Fitness Report: Cycled to work and back, again! Am also planning to sit in front of either Apocalypse Now or The Untouchables, playing with my weights... Go me!
