The global economy continues to melt, which is obviously an unforseen effect of global warming, although you have to say that with everything getting warmer we all should have seen it coming.
Gordon the Terrible thinks he can convince everybody to follow his flagship economic rescue package and so save the world. Hopefully les powers that be will not forget that during the previous 11 years it was Gordon at the helm of our financial ship and we're in no better state than anybody else. Just wait until the world finds out that Gordi has been investing our hard earned taxes in Iceland, what you didn't know?, why do you think he so vociferously asked Iceland to give it back the other day?
Anyway that's not the reason I'm moving to Nebraska, I fear they are in an even worse situation than we are and very shortly they are going to have a plonker for President, yet again. (I have to say America, just look at what electing Tony Blair did for us,and for the other candidate you've already had W for nearly eight years, you don't need to go through it again.) Vote for Yogi Bear or somebody like that; Tom with Gerry for VP, T.C. and Choo-Choo, Officer Dribble for Attorney General there must be oodles of viable candidates out there, it's a big country.
But I digress, you need to know why I, and probably very soon, thousands of others like me, from all over England, will soon be moving to Nebraska.
You know that in certain countries they have "baby safes" at hospitals and convents, where mothers can go and deposit their unwanted babies, anonymously, with no fear of legal or social reprisals?
There's a little door in an outside wall, which opens onto a space furnished with a crib and blankets. The mum places the baby in the safe and closes the door. This activates an alarm within the convent or hospital and the baby is collected and taken in to be cared for. Civilised innit?
Now apparently in America, all ot the individual states have passed legislation allowing for the same principle, parents can place unwanted children in the care of the local hospital. Some states will even accept children up to the age of five or six.
But not Nebraska. Oh no. For all of you out there who procreated back in the '90s, Nebraska is the place to be.
They have raised the age at which children can be taken to the hospital and left, no strings (particularly apron strings) attached,
just leave your kids and walk away, no further contact, ever
no charges of abandonment or neglect, just get back on with living your own life,
tempting isn't it?
well Nebraska have raised the age limit, as I was saying
up to......EIGHTEEN !!!!!!!!

Yo!
