Never one to go against the stable, but.......

I know it's all very exciting this new Barak H. Obama chap getting world omnipotence and everything, but it all takes me back to a day when we were all just ponies, some not even old enough to vote. Yes back in 1997 I heard the same intense, and dare I say it slightly naive enthusiasm when a certain Tony Blair and his trendy New Labour gibbons promised a whole bunch of change and new, oh so great, horizons. Well we all now how that panned out don't we?

Now don't get me wrong, out of the two options, the best man won but I would like to ask for a certain 'reining' (probably the best pun on pony club yet) in of celebration. After all a war in Pakistan could be just around the corner.

I know I might upset a few ponies with this, but I thought the whole thing needed some balance.

Colin.
