IMF to Jail ? = Dominique Strauss-Kahn

Mail on Sunday: Reports on the events leading up Mr Strauss - Kahn being dragged off a plane at JFK Airport and arrested for an attack on Maid. The French press will have a field day with story folks, due to the privacy laws of France the private lives of their politicians are a no go area, this story happened in US, so French rules don’t apply, let me postulate that if there is any dirt on Mr Strauss - Kahn the French will run with it, it’s a very public arrest, even the French Courts would be hard pressed to say its not a story.

The End of the Dream ? Strauss - Kahn NO French Presidency

Guardian: Reports on the political implications of the arrest Dominique Strauss-Kahn, in essence he is finished as a Presidential candidate, not guilty or guilty. Even the French have limits, one has to wonder when Mr Strauss - Kahn will be given the push from the IMF, with Greece, Ireland and Portugal broke the IMF does not need this distraction. And no before you start on the Labour side, Gordon Brown still cant have the job.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn = Arrested

Telegraph: Reports that Dominique Strauss-Kahn the head of the IMF has been arrested by New York Police. This news will shock France, Dominique Strauss-Kahn was expected to run in 2012 for the French Presidency. As the case is in the Courts this blog will not comment on the case in till there is a verdict. This might be old fashioned these days but this blog is conservative.

Liberal Bombing = Libyan Front

BBC News: Reports that the head of the British Army, General David Richards has stated that NATO needs less restrictions on its bombing in Libya, that Libyan state infrastructure needs to be hit. At the end of the day NATO can only win if it removes the pillars that are keeping Gaddafi in power, the state TV of Libyan should be off air by now, the electric gird should be out in the Capital Tripoli, the Bridges also out, you get the idea folks. Make the people get out on the streets, force them to overthrow Gaddafi, or this military operation could take months.

Doctor Who Top Drama on Saturday = The Doctor’s Wife

The Doctor Who News Page: Reports that Doctor Who was the top Drama on Saturday, this does not include reality shows! The good Doctor had 5.9 million viewers in the overnight rating, these always go up with recording. As to the Doctor’s Wife, it was fantastic, it will confirm the women’s suspicion that men think more about their mode of transport than them, but it’s the Tardis. Amy will have to stop the Doctor stroking the Tardis, even Captain Jack is not that liberal! Loved the line when the Tardis says “ I took you where you needed to go, not where you want to go ”, how many women have thought of that of their boyfriends or husbands. Ah to have a Tardis, and when it looks like the Tardis did last night in human form, even KITT the car was not that good! Lets have the Tardis back again in female form, that would give Amy a run for her money, even Rory the Roman, would get diverted.

51% Disapproval for POTUS = Rasmussen

Rasmussen Reports: Reports that President Obama has a 51% Disapproval rating, while 48% of likely voters approve of the job performance of POTUS. Well the bounce from the death of OBL seems to be on the decline folks, the problem is that President Obama went from the death of OBL to talk about immigration, an issue that rouses passion and can lose Obama moderate and independent voters. As noted by this blog and may commentators, a bounce can go quick, Bush 41 won a War and was out on his ear a year later. Also unemployment is still at 9%, while those first time jobless is still to high to bring the rate down. As the Clinton Election Campaign stated it’s the “ Economy Stupid ”.

Guilt = Ed Miliband

Mail on Sunday: Reports that Labour Leader Ed Miliband is still feels guilty over stabbing his brother in the back to take the Labour Leadership. Bloody right he should, something things are more important than politics, if you will stab your own brother in the back you cant be trusted, its shows arrogance and no loyalty. Mr Miliband you should FEEL GUILTY, it was wrong.

Bailouts AGAIN! Greece and Portugal

Telegraph: Reports that Portugal will receive around seventy billion pounds in a bailout and the UK will not be part of a second bailout for Greece. Folks it would be simpler to use the money as toilet paper, that will be it worth after the bailout, one can almost predict that both Portugal and Greece will need more money, they are lead by weak and stupid Governments, who don’t have the nerve to tell the people the sunny days are over, it will be years of hard times, the political elite of EU have bought in to the theory at the expense of their people, SHAME on them, they have sold the trust of the voter for 1 Euro.
