Proportional Mathematics

CANARY WHARF: It's been a big week for the finest failed baseball team owner in Texas. After teaming up with his hi-falutin mates in a "big country" (was it Russia? was it China? was it Canada?) he was able to indulge his preference for hippity-hop speech, receive a funky new sweater from his Limey lapdog and even deliver some off the cuff remarks (and we can only imagine how witty they were). We also got a remarkable insight into US foreign policy. Now if only we can get Syria to stop this shit... But he has dispatched his walking orthodontic commercial to the region so the problem should be solved as quickly as you can say Iraq.

Forgive my sarcasm but it's been a fortnight where I've spent my waking hours aghast at Ehud Olmert's ability become acting Prime Minister of a belligerent war mongering rogue state while failing to grasp the fundamentals of mathematics. Now let me get this straight, 10 and 1 are basically the same thing. Not really that surprising coming from a nation of Holocaust survivors who insist that the only way to solve the problems with their neighbours is murdering them from afar with hi-tech US and British supplied missiles. Now if only we can get Syria to stop this shit...
