Okay. Here's the deal. If Shrubya gets in, we Americans form a commune,
change our names to "Harry", "Hermione", "Ron", "Hedwig" and "Allegra", move
to Argyllshire and buy a large eccentric house which we'll name Bailicroft.

Some of my better Dubya jokes (at least the inoffensive ones...):

Q: "Governor, are you dyslexic?"
A: "Naw, I ain't bin ta Dyslexia."

(While the above is a fictional quote, the below are [scarily!] as spoked by
the Shrub.)

W: "40 per cent of our imports now come from overseas."

W: "They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's
some kind of federal program."

W: "Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream."

W: "Drug therapies are replacing a lot of medicines as we used to know it."

W: "Our priorities is our faith."

W: "I mean, there needs to be a wholesale effort against racial profiling,
which is illiterate children."

I'm holding an Election Party in my flat! I expect about 10 people to come
along, two of whom are Northern Irish, three are English, one Scottish and
three are American (all sane...er...Democrats :D)
