The idea man

Sometime in the past fortnight George W. Bush woke up early in the White House, looked over at Laura's single bed and said "I have an idea". Admittedly it wasn't a very good idea but since it had been so long since he had had any sort of idea he felt he had to run with it. What was the result? Well yesterday he told the world that all we have to do to solve the non-existent problem of climate change is to abandon all of the UN based efforts over the past decade and start over. To prove he was sincere he even winked at a reporter.

What a great idea! It just goes to show the man's genius that only he could come up with an idea so simple, so straightforward and so self-defeating despite the fact that so many of the globe's great minds have been labouring over the issue for years.

I think the headline to the Guardian's story, "Bush kills off hopes for G8 climate change plan", pretty well sums it up don't you?

I feel so much better I think I shall head off to the park to work on my tan.
