On Sunday I took Max for the first time to cinema. We saw "Finding Nemo" which was stunning. The film is about a father searching for his captive son, a bit like this story in Guantanamo Bay.

(After the cartoon character: Wile E. Coyote and Bill Gate's book: The Road Ahead)

Tony Blair - the great illusionist - is my choice to replace David Blaine after he ends his stint isolated in a Perspex box. This time we should suspend Tony Blair over the Houses of Parliament then the great British public could harass him by throwing eggs and assorted missiles and Gordon Brown could cut his water supply!
