If you only have 20 minutes to save the world…

Don’t save the world, just learn to listen. Starting with John Francis, who didn’t use any form of motor­ised trans­port for 30 years, and didn’t speak for 17 of them.

Bingo We Can Believe In

Alcohol and polit­ics are two things that should rarely mix, but once in a blue moon there’s cause to throw cau­tion to the wind and get a little crazy.

One such occa­sion is tomor­row night, when the US elect­or­ate takes to the polls and — with a little luck — elects Barack Obama their next President.

There are all sorts of reas­ons why this is such an import­ant elec­tion, both in terms of America’s cur­rent stand­ing within the world com­munity, and a num­ber of immin­ent domestic prob­lems that the next President will find him­self deal­ing with prob­ably before he’s even inaugurated.

That’s per­haps a post or two for another time; once the res­ults are in and the res­id­ents of Awesome Manor have either cel­eb­rated or com­mis­er­ated until they drop.

For now, I simply offer my humble con­tri­bu­tion to the elec­tion fest­iv­it­ies. I call it “Bingo We Can Believe In”.
