audacity of hope: Obama will win come november

Im thinking on what to write as my last entry before I leave Vienna..at 3 am in the morning i feel the brain is slightly frozen not by the late summer early morning breeze outside but rather by the sharp hunger pangs that I have been having since I last took my meal. I better hit for the "maggi" that my minnieMe packed in my suitcase as I am really starving... I know its not healthy..oh well I wont find any food joint opened at this wee hours, would I?

 I switch on the tv and all I could see is  the Republican Convention on the news.  Sarah Palin nominated to run as VP side by side with Mc Cain..who is she I wondered..now I promised that this blog is a not so serious side of me..so mr stercus refrain yourself from politics !! 

can you really avoid not talking about politics especially american politics or at least form an opinion on who would win come november?  well, unless of course you had been spending your summer in Mars, the race to the white house between the democrats and the republicans is everywhere on the tv and its hard for anyone not to make an opinion about it. I was watching the democrats convention last week and now its the republicans' turn. alas, the great american showdown is now for everyone to see! I must say this is one of the greatest american export to the world its brand of democracy between the liberals and the conservatives.

I was at this souvenir shop and saw some nice mugs with some caption that says "there are no kangaroos in Austria" now I thought that is hilarious.  I was thinking if I could send one to Bush, that would probably be a good way of telling him that he needs geography lessons. I recall when Bush was in Australia, he was attending this APEC convention ... he said it was OPEC. Then he referred to the Australians as the Austrians! (duh!)

now I have a business idea..make mugs with caption like this..

"Hello ! There are no deserts in Brunei!"  would that sell?  i find it a little offensive when you get people and say to my face "oh it must be hot living in a desert"  or "isnt your country close to Saudi Arabia?" (hello do I look like an arab to you?)

I am trying to think hard what Bush introduced to the world that I think is worth remembering..peace? nah..what did he introduce to the world?"the bush doctrine"  if you have military might, forget about diplomacy.."you are with us or against us"..

to be continued....
