What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you
(and remember, you can always e-mail me if you love or loathe anything you're about to read)...

   SIDESTEP THE LITTLE BITS OF HISTORY REPEATING

Now that's eerie:

Tony Blair, May 5 2005:

"The great thing about an election is that you get out and talk to people for week upon week and I have listened and I have learned. I think I have a very clear idea of what the British people now expect from this government for a third term."

Paul Martin, June 29 2004:

"Canadians expected and expect more from us, and as a party and as a government, we must do better and we will."

Let's hope Mr. Blair has better luck than the hapless Martin, who also said, "We will work hard as a government... while demonstrating honesty, integrity and a deep respect for taxpayers' money."

Following an awkward silence, let's just say the jury's still out on that one!
