Yes I remember all that "leaves on the line" and "wrong kind of snow" malarky in my dys in the UK.<BR/><BR/>Oh - it was "Have I Got News for You?" - yes, thanks - I'd forgotten the name of that quiz show Boris chaired. I remember his brilliantly blonded hair most of all.<BR/><BR/>It'll be interesting to see whether Val Kilmer does decide to run for Gov. in New Mexico. It's a beautiful state - my co-favourite along with Colorado.<BR/><BR/>I wish Kris Kristofferson would come and run as Gov of Oklahoma -now wouldn't that be something! Much as they love country music around here, I bet they wouldn't vote for such a left-winger though. Sigh. Don't bother, Kris!Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-34709403337514193162009-02-08T12:54:00.000-06:002009-02-08T12:54:00.000-06:00Oh, so you get Batman and we get Boris....thanks.....Oh, so you get Batman and we get Boris....thanks....lol!<BR/><BR/>Boris was great this week when asked about why the tube and buses were not running. He said "it's the right sort of snow, just not the right quantity" <BR/><BR/>If you're wondering why that's funny, for years in the UK we have been fed all sorts of lines (if you'll pardon the pun) about why the trains can't run including the wrong sort of snow, too many leaves, sun overheated the points etc.<BR/><BR/>Boris is great fun. He ran a brilliant campaign in London similar to Obama in that he got out to the suburbs where his most likely supporters live and got them out there to vote, many for the first time. <BR/><BR/>'Red' Ken Livingston (who still hasn't got over it) concentrated on the inner city and got hammered.<BR/><BR/>Also Boris has a lot of support as editor of the Spectator, MP in Henley (had to step down when he won) and has appeared as Quiz Master on Have I Got News for You" a topical, very funny, news show and he's brilliant at it.<BR/><BR/>So don't worry, you can keep Batman and the Terminator, I'll take Boris anyday!Rossahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121831076599069841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-65381061616196708742009-02-08T08:43:00.000-06:002009-02-08T08:43:00.000-06:00R Phoenix ~~ I guess that Sun conjunct Saturn coul...R Phoenix ~~ I guess that Sun conjunct Saturn could give an initially negative impression, depending on the circumstances.<BR/>Also, we don't know his rising sign, which would add a lot to the picture.<BR/><BR/>From articles I've read it appears some people find him generous, hardworking,good to work with etc. while others have found the opposite. Such is life, Robert!<BR/>:-)<BR/><BR/>He might not be a warm and fuzzy hug-bucket but I bet he'd be a good administrator.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-84724686216629628522009-02-08T08:37:00.000-06:002009-02-08T08:37:00.000-06:00WWW ~~~ Oh yes - Boris.
