The USA's President Bush(1) has decided to distract attention from the disaster that is Iraq/Katrina/Tom Delay/&c by announcing the successor to US federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan. Given that he chose a former commissioner of the International Arabian Horse Association to head up the Agency charged with responding to major emergencies and someone who'd never sat as a judge to the Supreme Court, all were relieved to find that this time he'd picked Ben Bernanke, his chief economic adviser, to succeed Mr Greenspan. Mind you, just wait until they discover is that the job of chief financial adviser to George Bush merely involves reminding the President that Dow Jones wasn't "that British guy in The Monkees".
(1) Some might say I'm a little obsessed with George Walker Bush but given that he is (dear Lord can it really be true?!) the leader of the world's sole superpower (pace the Chinese), I say my obsession is absolutely fair enough and absolutely no cause for the issuing of any kind of court order.
