Wot?

He's come all this way just to buy some reinforced neckwear?

Update: We shall let Ross have the last word.

Ross said...: Yes of course, this is a big strategic goal for any US politician, why do you think George Bush decided to invade Tie-Rack.; 25 July 2008 at 08:39
Gregg said...: Perhaps you should run a poll Mark. Who does Obama remind you of most:

JFK (with a tan)

or

Neil Kinnock (circa 1992); 25 July 2008 at 09:25

Matt Frei on BBC1 10::00 News last night was - I swear it - having an orgasm about the wonder of Obama and the enthusiasm of the Berlin crowd. However, even the BBC - reporting from small-town white working-class America, reported the tragic news (to the BBC correspondent) that Obama's reception among the electorate which is actually going to vote may not be so enthusiastic.; 25 July 2008 at 10:34
