A champagne socialist reflects on Western culture and the Universe... and whilst gazing at his navel, he comes up with a lot of useless lint. It is the fruits of this navel-gazing that form the substance of this blog.
So now that the Coalition of the Killing's been reelected (let's face it, Blair's got nothing to worry about), it's time to take your bets on where the next warzone will be.

North Korea is favourite at 2-1.

Australia is at 30-1 because Bush is likely to think he's launching war on Austria.

Japan is at 50-1 for old time's sake.

Germany is at 22-1 because "this is the country that tried to kill my Granddad".

Russia is at 36-1 because ... they're the Russians duh!

France is at 50-1 because they need to have a word for entrepeneur to be truly free and only we can bring it to them.

China is at 70-1 just to remind them not to turn Communist again.

Vietnam is at 75-1 to finish off the job we started in the 70s.

Cambodia is also at 75-1 because Bush is just as likely to aim for Vietnam and miss.

Zimbabwe is only at 80-1 because Mugabe kills black people too, so he's not so bad.

San Francisco is at 20-1 because there are some gentle people there and we don't want that.

Sudan's an outside chance at 100-1 because we can already get their oil.

Taking your bets now!

and 50 bucks on Bush himself because a liberal super-assassin is likely to kill him out of misguided anger.

Genius. Absolute genius. Like Einstein, if he had run a comb through his hair.

And don't worry if the right can't take a bit of satire. They can't appreciate great comedy.

What about Canada? I think we got fairly good odds at about 15-1 because we got oil in Alberta, that dumb moron Carolyn Parrish who won't shut up, a Liberal Prime Minister, recently legalized same-sex marriage, didn't go to Iraq, and have a lot of French people in Quebec. But, I think we might be safe for now because it will be too difficult for Bush to locate Canada on a map.

"I know! Let's invade Canada! We can save on sending our troops over because it's close. All we have to do is go down through Mexico and we're almost there." - Roger Abbott playing George W. Bush on Air Farce

Picking up on canada, I got the three passports Australia, Canada, England. Only one is still left leaning, thus I am moving to Canada...Australia is waste of my time. England still rocks but until they join the EU fully I can not respect the foreign policy. EU read "The Future". [Addition America reads "the past". They, like the Russians, indeed like the Romans, have just discovered, too late as per history, that government - either domestic or global - requires consent (read UN). they are losing it, sadly]

Anyhow that leaves Canada...I am not joking either about moving away from Australia - the scholarship application is on my desk. The passport is being renewed.

Last thought. Renew the cold war, this time the sides are following:
Economic rationalism vs Welfare State
Both will be capitalist, free market democracies.

For the greater good or not at all.

Sounds more like a "Bore War" to me. Secret agents running around trying to get the jump on other nation's fiscal policy! Snore.

And the winner....Australia! They're calling it testing smart bombs on our soil I believe. (It's a joke Joyce).
