A Choice Of Browns

[poliphilo]

There was a choice of Browns on TV last night- Gordon on ITV and Derren on Channel 4.  Gordon had put on a lot of slap and was batting his eyelids like a wee girl at his blokey mate Piers Morgan, in a format derived from that ancient, wet handshake of a show- This is Your Life.  I had thought it my duty to watch, but I couldn't stand it- I really couldn't- and besides- only a touch of the button away- Derren was making like a 19th century spirit medium and showing us how to get a table to fly through the air- which was a lot more fun and in far better taste.

Gordon's friends think we'll vote for him if he pretends he's not a crocodile. They could well be right.  I hope they are- because however detestable New Labour has been I've little doubt that Cameron and the Tories will be worse.

I see that you, too, are sometimes thrown into a situation where you need to choose the lesser evil. We have had far too many such situations over here. The last one seemed to have broken that curse, but now we "hopefuls" are developing a "wait and see" attitude. The recent Massachusetts election for a Senator in Congress to fill the empty space left by Ted Kennedy seems to have been a case where my fellow Bay Staters chose the lesser evil. I hope they were right. Damn! Yet another Republican goes to Washington to block progress and attempt to put us back to the 1950's or sooner.

There's a song by Neil Innes (of the Bonzo Dog Doodah band) that goes

"No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in"
