Now We Know We’re In The 2008 Campaign Season
What is it that truly signals the start of the campaign for the 2008 Presidential hopefuls?
While many would say that it’s the numerous visits by as of yet undeclared candidates or the creation of exploratory committees or the actual declarations by many of those same candidates, it turns out it isn’t the case.
The single most telling event that shows us that the campaigns are starting in earnest is the announcement that CNN, WMUR-TV (Manchester, NH), and the Union Leader newspaper (Manchester, NH) will be hosting two debates for candidates over two nights, with the hopefuls of one party debating on the first night, April 4th, and those of the other on the night after, April 5th.
The home of the First Primary in the nation will also be the home of the First Debate.
CNN, WMUR and The New Hampshire Union Leader will hold the back-to-back debates on April 4 and 5, the first such events to be held of the 2008 presidential campaign. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer will moderate the debates with questions coming from WMUR’s Scott Spradling and Union-Leader’s John DiStaso. WMUR’s Jennifer Vaughn will be moderating questions from the audience. The debate will be televised live nationally on CNN and throughout New Hampshire on WMUR.
Once again New Hampshire will be the focus of the nation as the 2008 campaign season begins.

A bit of a storm in the press – and not the one currently battering this soggy isle! – caught my eye earlier this week. It seems that someone in the MoD is once more planning to decimate the Royal Navy. Not since the days of King Charles II’s parliament and their mothballing of the entire Fleet while the country was still at war, has this nation seen anything as stupid! What will it take to get this shower of morons ejected from their ivory towers in the refurbished MoD HQ and the Treasury? Where is Admiral van Tromp when you need him?
Judging from the letters column in the Torygraph there is as much stupidity among some of the readers and letter writers as there is in the Treasury and the MoD. Perhaps some of those letter writers are civil servants or retired civil servants? [Probably not, they are all Guardian (or Gruaniad!) readers, must be because that is the only paper the civil service advertises in. – Ed] Certainly some of these letter writers believe that one ship is equall to a hundred simply because it has X amount of fire power. Have these complete morons learned nothing? Oops, sorry, by definition a moron cannot learn anything. So why do we tolerate having these vital services run by morons?

“Our message to today’s kids is dont drugs. Pete Doherty I find very punchable. Okay, he takes drugs, but what has he ever written?”
From this month’s Classic Rock. I have never understood with the heroin addict Doherty is so beloved by people especially Kate Moss. I have heard some of his music and none of it has ever really impressed me. I think he is all fluff and no substance.
