McObama Claims Victory in Glasgow East?

From the Front Page of the Glasgow Herald. (You can click on the picture to get a larger version).

Seems that the SNP candidate for Glasgow East has morphed. Is he Haggis McObama or Porridge McSarkozy? I wonder how well Bonjour Messieurs et Mesdames (pardon the French) or Totally Awesome Dude will go down in Shettleston from their elected member. The latter would likely end up with grevious bodily harm being chibbed on the guilty party.

Meanwhile Gordon Brown has been awarded the following trophy by his colleagues for services to the Scottish National Party and David Cameron's electoral ambitions.

Mr Brown meanwhile is banking on an encouraging population trend to keep him in power. Long term youth strategy I think.

What is all the more amazing is that all those young families must have been listening to Jack McConnell.

Obama - Big in Japan

Obama, Japan, is Barracking for candidate Obama, hoping that if he becomes the US president he will put this ancient fishing town of 32,000 people firmly on the tourist map and, just maybe, choose it for an international summit.

Supporters in Obama -- which means "small shore" in Japanese -- have held parties to watch election results, put up posters wishing the senator luck and plan a special batch of the town's "manju" sweets bearing his likeness.
