The Democratic Party did win a majority in the House and the Senate, and Bob Casey did win. So I'm happy, because that means maybe we'll be able to hold someone accountable for this mess in Iraq, this mess in New Orleans, this mess with the environment...

...and now we look towards Christmas. I wouldnt mind an iPod Nano, and maybe one of those Rabbit corkscrew thingies, and a US footie shirt (or 'jersey' as they call them here). If someone wants to get me the Thom Yorke CD, or the one by Beck, or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, or maybe even She Wants Revenge, or The Killers new album? A Kurt Vonnegut book would be nice. Or something funny, something like "The Areas Of My Expertise" by John Hodgman.

Or just world peace. I'd go for world peace. That would be nice, for a change.

Listen : Harrowdown Hill - Thom Yorke ... Nausea - Beck ... These Things - She Wants Revenge.
