I am going to America on Friday for a bit over a week, to see best mate, family (see pic of our farm) and a wedding.
However, I am morally offput by entering into my home country due to the news that Scrushy the psychotic corporate leader was acquitted of every single charge. In addition, W's speech at Fort Bragg immensely depressed me due to its illogical rhetoric, implied idiocy of the American Public and ubiquitous references to this the Black and White Fantasy World that he lives in. Someone introduce the colour grey to that man, please. I was glad to see some comments on the BBC's Have Your Say and other blogs see through his blatant emotional warfare and that public opinion polls show low approval ratings for him and his administration. The latter of which is really the demon ghost in the machine.

July Fourth may be quite a maudlin and reflective day for me. I foresee much imbibing. Updates to follow.
