Hindenburg 70th Anniversary of Crash
The destruction of the Hindenburg in 1937. A very interesting article by Fox News, read and be informed.
Iraq and Funding
It seems the fight for funding of the troops in Iraq will go on, neither side, President George W. Bush or the Democrats are about to blink, its the troops in the dug out that VIEWS feels sorry for they deserve better but politics is politics and American Politics can be harsh, and both sides want Iraq to be an issue for them in 2008.
The Edwardians - The Worst Journey in the World
Views thought he knew the Story of Captain Scott's Tragic Journey to the South Pole but the Journey of Apsley Cherry-Garrard, Dr Edward Wilson and 'Birdie' Bowers made you proud to be British. The Trip was pointless but the kind of British courage shown by the three is something you don't see today, it was wiped out in the First World War.
French Election
International Herald Tribune, Sarkozy to wing big and the politics of old France is like a dodo. Time waits for no man or country.
Bloomberg.com, Sarkozy also to win big, by 10 % in most of the last polls. The Bookies have Sarkozy winning, always follow the money VIEWS says, it will be Sarkozy.
London Times, French Women support Sarkozy over a Royal, could this be a message to Senator Clinton, don't assume you will get the female vote in the USA in 2008.

The Edwardians - Miss Marie Lloyd
Elections come and go, but Stars and the Press/fans are the same from Rome in the classical period to film Stars of today, the Edwardians had Miss Marie Lloyd. VIEWS is looking forward to another gem from the Edwardian Season.
UK Elections
The SNP is the largest Party is the Scottish Parliament, 47 seats, Labour 46, Conservatives 17 and the LibDems 16. In the Welsh Assembly, Labour 26, Plaid Cymru 15, Conservatives 12 and the LibDems 6. Labour with the LibDems should run the Assembly for the next four years. The opposition parties don't have the political backbone to form a government without Labour.
Gordon Brown has done a vanishing act, and he is our next Prime Minister. The BBC could not even find him and the BBC has the Licence Fee. That's the problem when your a Scottish MP and your Country just might want a divorce from the rest of the UK.
