The beauty of politics, PR and words is that you can find a way to justify any point of view any course of action, any change of mind.

I overheard Senator Ralph Seekins say something like this today:

“to have a conviction and to stand up to it is honourable…”

It’s now honourable to have broken the law – a fascinating about turn for a representatives of a Conservative political party (huge C) known for its obsession with law and order.

“Honourable”

The more heinous the crime the more honourable the convict – presumably. I’m gonna turn myself in…

Sarah Palin, Republican VP for the 2008 presidential election, has a husband – he has a conviction for driving under the influence.

Sarah and Todd have a daughter called Bristol – they apparently followed the Beckham’s family naming conventions. One wonders what Bristol’s baby will be called if she follows suit… ideas on a virtual postcard please…

I would (not for a few months though) unlike my mate Dale – he’d go there straight away except he already has a lovely girlfriend. Celebrity value.

The ridiculous cheering at the convention does my head in… cheering and whooping and flag waving after every sentence…

We need more objectivity in the world…
