Gordon Brown: Dr. Evil or Mini Me?



I have to admit to a certain amount of bemused personal laughter when I saw that Sun front page this morning. The Sun portraying PM Gordon Brown as Dr. Evil of Austin Powers' fame? Is about as laughable of a caricature as could possibly be devised. Gordon Brown doesn't have the stones (upper or lower case) to be placed in the same league with Dr. Evil. Therefore, is he better suited to playing Mini Me to the real Dr. Evil Barack Obama? I mean if we are going to be engaging in caricatures for folly and all.


What is it the British say? Poor Bugger? (fitting)

While Gordy is the official host of this years League of Nations (G20) brunch, it is certainly the messianic one Barack Obama who has stolen all the thunder. At least as far as the headlines are concerned. And I for one do not believe that his efforts on any level, will serve to salve the raw feelings on the surface of all in attendance of this grand and glorious show tribunal of the world's big twenty of finance.

They each know just as assuredly as the next, that this grandiose plan that Obama has unleashed on the American people cannot work and it certainly cannot work for their economies. You don't spend your way out of being bankrupt and destitute. You only dig your way deeper into the hole. At the least Merkel and Sarkozy have seen the reality of that and are not buying into the smoke and mirrors of Obama's "new deal."

And Gordon Brown and Britain are left looking like tarts dressed up for the ball, when the grand dance has been canceled and no one is buying the hustle of the Chitown hustler. As Gordy was apparently the only one desirous of buying into the American hustle from the start. Can't blame him really, as the UK is rapidly approaching the great abyss and they have absolutely nothing to brake with.

So when all hope is lost, you grab at straws I suppose. And Gordon Brown is standing there with a fist full of them as the sun rises this morning IMO.

With that said, there is a very real danger of a new world order on the horizon. But it is not the one envisioned by the European socialists of the past fifty years. Those socialists must certainly be shaking their heads in wonderment of the creation that they have helped bring into existence in America. For this is a socialist creation that is definitely outside the mold of previous incarnations and all past experiments.

And oh yes.....there is a new world order on the horizon.
