Victory is hers

Yes indeed and yessirree, its the little moose-huntin' laydee who turned the McCain bandwagon from a lumbering ineffective vote-dumping machine into a barnstorming election-winning juggernaut!

A wink, a smile, and a fully-loaded array of firearms...who could have resisted?

US election barney outcome prediction thing

Barracks McCain..................John O'Bama

So that's it, then.

Yes, yes, I know. I shouldn't be saying it's all over at just a minute past midnight with just two states declared.

A number of people will no doubt accuse me of being a tad premature - and I don't mean just the laydeez - in congratulating the winner of the US election.

But I, Derrig, hereby and thustofore do put unto my head on the line and thuswithly announce that I am setting down for all eternity the correct prediction of the winner of the election of US.

From Day One it seemed pretty much a foregone conclusion, with a clear leader and an obvious sous-chien.

I have followed the race closely, and despite the switchback course it has pursued and the excitement it has generated, I am able to say with great confidence that the election was over well before it was conceded.

It was hard fought, but policy, tactics, and strategy won out in the end, helped by a stroke of genius in choosing a running mate who would make the ticket workable. A running mate with a wealth of foreign policy experience and the ability to communicate with Joe the Plumber. Sorry, Joe the Public.

Senator Obama, I salute you. Right up the flagpole of Democraticness.

We all salute you.

But military experience won out.

Maybe next time, eh?

Strange bedfellows

Following the shock news of Colin Powell's backing for Barack Obama, the G.O.P. have come right back at 'em with two totally unexpected McCain endorsements.

Bukky "Behave Yourself" Akinwale and Sue "Microphone" Davey made strirring speeches to the Republican National Convention on the eve of the election.

"This man McCain, I love his chips. Much better than that Obama chap's," said Akinwale. "Now quieten yourself down and sit calmly in the corner. I don't expect to have to tell you twice."

While the Boss Cat's away...

Yes, we're having a rare oul' time of it while the Boss Cat is across the great water backing up O'Bama, or "The Big B.O." as we like to call him.

The Boss Cat has landed

I am priviliged to report that the Boss Lady is out of the country.

Good for lucky old US.

Yee-hah!
