A (Short) Alistair Darling: Back From The Brink Review…

It’s slightly better than Tony Blair’s book, but not as readable as John Prescott’s book.

A (Short) Tony Blair: A Journey Review…

It’s worse than John Prescott’s book.

The Prescott Express…

The Prescott Express seems to be more of a Ford Transit van than a battle bus- tough times for Labour;). This video is not in HD thankfully;).

Prescott Talks Toilets…

So many jokes could be told however I’ll go for the most obvious one- that toilet looks to be too small to support a man of John’s size;). Strong toilet based language in this video;).

Osborne As Laurel…

Fresh from the editing desk of John Prescott is this video that compares George Osborne to Stan Laurel. Not entirely sure why Labour would want to compare Osborne to one of the cleverest comedians of the Twentieth Century, but clearly they feel it’s better to attack someone for their looks than to actually think of policies that will drag us out of the fine mess that Labour has got us into in the past twelve years;).

Brown Mashes It Up…

This video takes a while to get going and is rather rude in places but the Chemical Brothers mash up is inspired:).

Note to John Prescott…

Labour are in power at the moment- technically you are criticising your own side by having a go at the Police’s lax attitude. My take on the whole incident is that she should have had a fixed penalty notice served on her for a breach of the peace- job done;).

Has Prezza Lost The Plot?..

In my opinion he has- clearly the Iphone has a better interface than the Blackberry;). Seriously though, Prescott has done very well collecting thirty odd thousand signatures for his “Give Up The Bonus” campaign. Shame Gordon Brown won’t block the bonuses, mainly because he is likely to be employed by one of the major banks in say, mid 2010. We live in hope;).

The US Election – The First Five Rocky Films In Disguise?..

There is heaps of comment and analysis about the US Presidential Election knocking about the Internet (more than you could read in your lifetime), however aren’t the chief protagonists in the race just characters from the first five Rocky films:)? Sounds crazy, but the parallels are there;).

Barack Obama is Rocky Balboa – He was plucked from obscurity and humble beginnings as a dreamer with talent who takes on more experienced and stronger opponents, but defeats them all by his skill and by learning their weaknesses.

Joe Biden is Mickey Goldmill – Balboa’s trainer who is in his sixties, rarely seen but mentors him (at least in the first three films) through his fights.

Hilary Clinton is Apollo Creed – Flashy and experienced fighter who doesn’t take Balboa seriously as a challenger but soon realises that he has more public appeal than him. Creed is defeated by Balboa after a long drawn out battle and later supports him.

Sarah Palin is Clubber Lang – Explodes onto the scene dealing Balboa a surprise defeat. However Lang is defeated by a resurgent Balboa after heavy training.

John McCain is Ivan Drago – A cold hearted steroid induced bruising machine who taunts Balboa from afar. When he finally does face Balboa Drago causes him problems early on, only to be defeated in the final round.

Cindy McCain is Ludmilla Drago – Sightly scary and intense wife of Drago, who is mildly alluring in a “I will break you” way.

George Bush is Tommy Gunn- Balboa easily defeats Gunn who isn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the box and is easily led.

Clearly you have to use your imagination and ignore deaths, sex, race, steroid abuse and party lines for this to work:).

I am going for a fifth round knockout for Balb… I mean Obama tomorrow, which would equate to the election being won at 0230hrs GMT. I believe looking that electoral map that Obama will not carry Pennsylvania or Ohio, but will carry Arizona and Florida. My prediction therefore would be Obama/Biden 307 to McCain/Palin 231. 

I leave you with our own street fighter, namely John “Two Jabs” Prescott taking on a local farmer during an election campaign;).
