What was the point?

Dear W,

 

Things have been really hectic since that ballot thing; lots to keep me from writing, not least getting refunds for Johnnie’s spending at the shops. (Hippie had some issues to deal with too, but is back on the scene again.)

 

Well, the ballot didn’t quite go as we hoped, but apparently I haven’t entirely left the scene either – Warhol will be proved wrong about my 15 minutes of fame.

 

I see you’re working hard - or perhaps that should be "pretending to work" - to leave a lasting legacy, while Hussie spends his time procrastinating about who to appoint.

 

Great job on getting an agreement with all those leaders to agree to an agreement soon. What a novel idea for an agreement, to agree to plan to agree. That is remarkable talent, even greater than I could aspire towards.

 

And to add to that a new look at rules – just like I had a new look for that ballot. My advice there is to shop with care, as some people can be critical, even if you don’t look any worse for it.

 

Somebody described your achievements as “historic”. Or were they talking about you? Same difference I suppose.

 

Best of all though is that idea that finance ministers can draw a list up. As Hussie hasn’t finalised his team yet, I’m nominating me: big banks that could collapse would endanger the global economics (as we’ve already seen). Or even small banks, as that cold place showed us. That was easy, what else do you want to do?

Ah, nothing meaningful. Guess I’ll go shoot our dinner.

 

Yours smugly,

 

SPINE

 

p.s. Don’t be depressed W, one election is not worth a depression. It took you two, so we have hope yet.
