Like all good things...a beginning
Right, let’s try to get this site off on the right foot straight away.
Bush is an idiot.
Ah, but that feels much better.
However before you spam me, accuse me of anti-Americanism, call me a terrorist (hmm...I wonder how many alarms are set off by using that word on the internet), or fire-bomb my house I'd like to point out that Blair is also an idiot. And John Howard. And Chirac, Schroeder, Roh Moo-hyun, Helen Clark etc etc.
In fact my despair in the World's leaders is unrestrained by geography, national budget, political leaning or race - to me they are all equal in their idiocy.
Not that I'm going to spend all my time whining about politics but I think it is important that we get the rules established up front if this relationship is to work. Let me explain...
I once spent an educational two weeks in the Caribbean running a cruise for gay men. On the first day the organizers handed out little sticky dots of the kind you use to mark important dates on a calendar. There was a system to the colours used - black for 'I'm actually straight' (snapped up by the West Indian crew), yellow for 'I'm not sure but could be swayed', red for 'Thanks, but I'm in a relationship' and most interestingly of all, blue for 'I'm a top' and green for 'I'm a bottom'.
You see, coming from a sexual orientation which means I have the correctly connecting parts for any prospective partner it never occurred to me that gay men had a 'top' and 'bottom' issue. However once I discovered this the system made perfect sense, I mean how annoying must it be to spend all night chatting up an exciting looking prospect only to discover that when you get them home neither of you want to play the supporting role; so too speak.
In much the same spirit I hereby lay bare my political bias so that you can't complain later that you didn't know where all this was going. The choice to read on is yours alone.
So...are you a top or a bottom?
(Actually none of this matters as having managed to insert the words 'terrorist', 'bomb', 'sex' and 'gay' into an opening statement that also contains the name of various world leaders I have almost certainly been locked away by now, or even worse, offered a job with 'The Sun'.)
