On my way home from work I noticed all the Obama bling that was available in Union Square.

In the Equinox 19th Street and Broadway gym last week I saw a young fit athlete sporting an Obama t-shirt, so obviously his popularity has not diminished yet and someone is making money from this stuff.

I can not imagine anyone wearing a Gordon Brown or Tony Blair t-shirt or watch. The UK had better get a move on and catch up and get someone sexy in charge is all I can say. How about me? (Great idea, lucky I just thought of it, but I do not want to move home. Ah well, I almost had a solution there. SP T-shirts could be so popular it could save the global meltdown in one fell swoop. Maybe it is my duty to go home but then the American economy would collapse and that is not fair either to my countrymates out here. Oh, what a quandry to be in.)
