Smoke and Mirrors
Javier Solana said that he was going to retire in Oct. I said "Come on, really?" Then they asked him to stay on until the end of the year. This week I read this:
European hinted that the next person to fit the bill needed to be "super-human"
SO they found a couple of unknowns
Who the f*** is Baroness Ashton?

Well she’s the EU’s new High Representative for foreign affairs it would seem, despite never having been elected to anything in her life and with most of her experience in politics being as a health service panjandrum in Hertfordshire.
She’s also married to YouGov pollster Peter Kellner, which may mean something or nothing - probably nothing.
Tony Blair didn’t get the president’s job of course, losing out to Herman van Rompuy of Belgium. Well at least Herman didn’t invade Iraq.
But as for the good baroness….I listened to about three hours of BBC reports on the matter tonight and they didn’t seem to know who she was either.
An appointment straight out of Lewis Carrol.
Hmmmm....how long will they serve in this position before he takes over again?
