He's not the Messiah! He's just a man with more melanin!

Apologies to all my dear American readers, but I am REALLY sick of your presidential campaign. Heck yes.

And why should it matter to anyone in Western Australia, anyway? I dunno. I don't know why our TV stations think we should have to keep as up to date with that as with who poisoned Eric Forrester. Was it Stephanie?
Or Brooke's sister? Or Ridge? Or some random person? Please, let's get our priorities right!

Barrack Obama. Yawn. Old guy POW person McCain. Snore. Hilary. Sigh. Pitbull Palin.
Oh brother.

I read an interview with Alec Baldwin in the weekend paper and he reckons that a chunk of America will vote according to what sounds good and American-y. "This country needs a change but I'm not sure if a man named Obama can get it; it's like marketing, like buying laundry soap, soda, or corn chips. Will they buy McCain or Obama? What sounds right? A critical mass of Americans don't think beyond that. They do indeed choose presidents like they do laundry soap". Interesting comment. I can hear the tut tuts already.

So why is it more valid to vote for someone because she is a woman? Or to vote for someone because he is African American? If the former is your reason then that is sexist. If the latter is your reason, then that is invertly racist.

If only Pedro didn't lack political experience!

If only we could export our sweet Westminster system to the poor U.S. Honestly, I don't know how the populace stands it: I'd be in a constant media blackout if I had to live there.

So who do you reckon is the most likely person to poison Eric Forrester? Perhaps you already know and you can post a spoiler! (We have been known to be eight or nine years behind in Days of Our Lives, but I think we are reasonably current with Bold and the Beautiful).

I think it is a dead cert that the show's token black guy will be the guilty one.

Vote for Pedro anyway.
