Schadenfraude is good ...


As you have hopefully worked out, this blog is about The Age of Obama. It's developing slowly this age and it tends to have problems with not having paid its taxes back in the day.

However, I did have a good old cynical chuckle this morning reading about the travails of the filthy little gangster port that is Dubai.

If ever a place came to symbolise everything that was bad about The Age of George Bush, it was Dubai: a vile temple to casino capitalism built both literally and figuratively on the unstable sands of debt and Middle East power politics.

I hope the entire place goes bankrupt and gets sold off to the Kiwis or something.

Heaven knows those poor little buggers need a helping hand now everyone's forgotten about Lord Of The Rings.
