Yeah, well, Fintan will bear watching, that's for sure. I wouldn't want to pay his entertainment bill on his little "business" trip, if you see what I mean.
Politicians really need to grow up and take responsibility for steering the world's people through the next few decades and beyond.
When that happens we won't need politicians (in todays sense), democracy (which doesn't really exist anyway) or capitalism (overburdened concept) because common sense, self respect and respect the the other man / woman / nature our children, etc will be so self explanitory we will have no need to define those concepts.
Oh, and no need for the press either
Edit: the entertainement bill on this trip will be cheap:
Coffee and croissants on the 5:02 train from here to Geneva.
But if you want I can alway send to the bill for my next rip to London
I wonder how I didn't predict that topic about politics will be a topic about US politics.
I'm wondering was (for those that supported Huckabee) Chuck Norris the indicator that Huckabee should win.
AFAIK there are more than just two parties in US, but only democrats and republicans have nation wide support. This is mostly because of political system, which is not pure democracy. The founding fathers knew what happened in ancient Athens, so they decided they don't trust the people and introduced the delegates system. This system reminds me of "good old days" (which I never lived myself) of self-managing socialism of Yugoslavia, where in the last constitution there was delegates system that spanned from village committee of working people (communistic party) al the way up to "CK ZK" central committee of communistic union.
Anyway, is there really nobody who would want to discuss European politics?
I wonder how much of non-Europeans even know that Slovenia presided over Council of EU last 6 months?
We were even visited by George Bush for the second time. Our government is blowing proportions of this presidency to the extreme. It tends to think we have become internationally recognisable, but The Economist still mixed us up with Slovakia (how dare they?)
Like most 'Europeans' I'm stumped by the USA's election process. The badmouthing, digging up anything that could undermine the opponent, compromises just to get funds etc etc etc.
It happens here too - but to a much lesser degree - so in UK we look like angels compared to you lot!
Overall my view is that proportional representation is the way forward (in England) but the two big parties are too scared to give that a go so the voting turnout steadily declines.
Meanwhile the poor get poorer etc etc.
Anyway just to close Obama looks good to me but the devil would look good compared to that idiot you have at the moment. We got rid of our 'idiot' not long ago and having involved us in more bloodshed than since WW2 he is now, ironically, a 'peace merchant' on a good FAT wage!
That says it all I think.
All the best.

Not really. If I recall correctly, in a feudal system, the peasants are bound to the land. If they didn't like their fief holder, they had to suck it up and take it, or suffer the (drastic) consequences.
Ya, your right on that one, I'm more of a Mythology man myself, sometimes I get confused over things. But I'd still vote for it.
The early bird might get the worm, but it's the second mouse who always gets the cheese.
