What, Me Worry? *Updated*





First Barack Obama gives the British PM a DVD collection of hollywood hit movies in the US/Canada Region One format, which is incompatible with TROTW (the rest of the world), and now he gives the Queen of England (where I am hanging out at the moment), an iPod -- and, according to Drudge, SHE ALREADY HAS ONE.

If he keeps this up, along with everything else that's been going on -- ill-fated appointments, recession profligacy -- Obama is going to quickly go from media poster boy to Alfred E. Newman.

Me? I'm not going to worry about it.

And that's the way mad magazined Ball bounces.

*UPDATE*

Rhode Island should worry. See comments.

And she has a teleprompter. Plus she has dogs. Mmmm - how about giving Rhode Island?

Rhode... Island. Hmmmm.

It's not even really an island -- what's up with that?!

And its full name -- "The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations". What's up with that?!

The state bird -- a chicken (red hen)!

And its motto -- "Hope". Didn't Obama promise Hope and Change?! Well, passing Hope on to GB would be a big Change!

Another problem solved by an alert reader.

One day the US are going to be looking for something from the UK and the useless gifts that they have given to the Queen and the Prime Minister are going to be what the get back.
I can't believe that there is no one on staff with a smidgin of taste!
