Poor U S Grant, the man with the first name that nobody ever wants to spell spent most of his war fighting off alcoholism and most of his two terms as President fighting off all comers as scandal and corruption ruined his government. Not only that but he also sold the Native Americans down the river! Nice one Super G!
So, when two of the brightest political minds of the 19th century roll into town you do what all good American statesmen do: take them to the nearest strip joint and get drunk.
Yes, the yanks have all the class.

Ah, those cads! Will they never learn their lesson! People who patently do not like each other should not volunteer to go get munchies for mates at 3am!!! Especially when your musical interests are as emo as Gladstone’s!

It was the Pier 21 museum? Right?

Like a rambling, coughing shambles coming out of the darkness! Here is what I’ve been looking at this week:
- Iranian Supreme Leader, state media get a little confused about the purpose of YouTube and Facebook.
- War is Boring tries to bring a little sanity to the debate on the War in Afghanistan.
- While The Economist reminds the world the issue of the religious icons and traditions in Western Liberal schools isn’t as clear cut as those for and against make it.
- WIRED Magazine meanwhile has an article over how the US Secretary of Defence, Robert Gates, has changed the world of defence planning in the USA forever.
