The Edwardians - Diary of a Nobody

Humour is very subjective, VIEWS smiled through the first episode, it is funny, well acted and a great script. But it could be argued perhaps it would have been better if the monologue had been dropped and the characters talked about had been shown and the story followed in that manner, VIEWS could be wrong it has been known, shall watch all the rest of the shows to see if it gets more funny, Humour again is very subjective.

The Edwardians, The World of Albert Kahn

The second episode of this wonderful series, Edwardians in Colour: The Wonderful World of Albert Kahn was even better than the first, we see the United States, Japan, India, Mongolia in the Edwardian Period. In VIEWS interest the Edwardian Period is at the top, on the whole it has been Imperial Russia and the political developments up to 1914, but this series has in some respects shows there is more to that period that reading the diary's of Kings, Emperors and the political actions of politicians. When looking at these colour pics VIEWS has wondered what happened to the people did they survive the great turbulence of the First World War, did these pictures in some respect represent their happy life's before war, natural disasters and disease took them. But of course on the whole we cant know what happened, but we see the high and low points of the period, before the destruction of 1914.

The President V Congress

The US Senate has a passed that calls for a Time Table to withdraw troops form Iraq by early next year, the President has stated that he will Veto this Bill. The process of the Bill has been a game, the Democrats don't have the votes to over turn a Presidential Veto, thus they are playing to their left wing appeasement base, at the moment they are following the Polls and think this is the way to win the Presidency. As I have written to be thought as in the same company as those that supported Appeasement in the 1930s shows why the Democrats lose elections over and over again, they learn nothing, EVENTS change and you cant bet your Presidential bid on the idea things are going bad NOW then events wont change, Politics is about change, and the great unwashed, that is us the people, VIEWS does consider himself a man of the people, those that bother to VOTE, have very short recall, they might say in one poll get the troops out but if the SURGE works will say they never supported a cut and run policy and vote against a politician who though that is what the people wanted, you are not lead by the people you lead the people, hint there for Senator Reid. George W. Bush is President of the United States of America and he wont allow Iran to became a Nuclear Power, if he attacks Iran, the left will go mad, but it should be noted Iran is not on the top ten favourite list of the American people. A massive air attack on Iran, wipe out their nuclear development, force the Democrats to eat their words. It should be recalled in 1983 after a terrorist attack on American troops in Lebanon, President Ronald Reagan ordered the invasion of Grenada, some of the left attacked the move but it worked, Reagan finished off the political aspirations of Former Vice - President Walter Mondale in the 1984 Presidential Election. Mondale could not even win his old Senate Seat back years later when he was drafted in on short notice to run for the Senate after the death of a fellow Senator. This is the time for Bush 43 to act, stand tough on Iraq and start to plan for Iran. As a wily British Prime Minister once stated when asked what could happen in the future, "Events, Events " The Democrats see an election but they do not see the future.
