For the times, said Bob Dylan, they are a’changin’. He wrote some of his best lines whilst stoned out of his box. Yet that doesn’t dilute them or lessen them. Nor make them less valid today than when he wrote them.

The times are a’changin’. We have a new prime minister (in case you missed that). She’s a gel. Well, a woman. And we have a new foreign secretary. Boris. He’s a boy. England have a new football manager in (Big) Sam Allardyce, and good luck to him. He’s gonna need it.

And so the last remaining piece of the puzzle of international stuff, is America. The Presidency. Because we now know who the two candidates are going to be. Oh, we’ve known it unofficially for about a year, but there’s a rule in the American Constitution that states candidates cannot be officially endorsed by quiet, discrete or subtle means. THEY HAVE TO SHOUT IT FROM THE HIGHEST POINT, THROUGH THE LOUDEST MICROPHONE WITH AS MANY WHOOPS AND YEE-HAAAHS AS THEY CAN WHILST SAYING ‘I LOOOOOVVVVEEEE YOUOUOU’ to the population multiple times. Unless you’re loud and brash, you can’t stand for president. I don’t make the rules, just obey them. The President of The United States of America is not a ‘statesman’ in the normal sense. He (or She) is a fucking ROCK STAR!!! And must always act as such during ‘the process’. Otherwise known as ‘the interminable process’.

Yet all is not happiness and joy in Democrat land. Hillary received more than a ‘little help’ from the Democratic National Committee (DNC, not to be confused with Run DMC; 80s rap band; they don’t get to influence high level politics). The DNC decided that Hillary was ‘their man’ because they didn’t want Bernie Sanders and his rather un-American form of neo-socialist populism. No, they wanted Hillary, so they campaigned against Bernie and forced Hillary in, even though she’d have probably won anyway. And, of course, they made sure that all and any suggestions of any kind of dodgy, biased or influential nature were written down and stored, kept on multiple computers with copies and ccs sent everywhere. You wouldn’t want to act in a shady way and be discrete about it; what’s the point in that? So the emails were hacked, the DNC exposed and all the more grist in Donald Trump’s mill.

Oddly there is a suggestion that the actual hacking was done by Russian state hackers. (They’re in the Kremlin, next door to the athlete doping department). Who released the emails to wikileaks to circulate. Why would the Russians do that? Why would they want Quick Draw Trump with his finger on the ‘nuke’ button? Hmmmm…

You can’t vote for Trump; he’s an ass. But can you trust Hillary???

Vote Michelle. I love Michelle.

Happy Wednesday
