It's not even news any more. The MSBBC has officially become just
another division of Microsoft. May its descent into bankruptcy be
swift. Maybe then what's left of our corrupted government will do
something to reverse this infestation of American corporations in
British public institutions.

Actually, I was more interested to note, from a different link on
that page, that apparently Blair has converted to Catholicism. He
has booked the confessional box for the next two years solid, and
expects to be counting rosary beads continuously, for the rest of
his natural life. Well at least he'll have something to do on the
plane, while he flies (first class) all over the middle-east. The
in-flight service on Emirates Airlines is sheer luxury, but those
long flights still get rather tedious. Still, he has the palatial
opulence of all those middle-east leaders' personal residences to
look forward to, where he gets to smile for the camera, and drink
Arabica coffee from solid gold cups. Maybe he could grab a sample
for the Pope, and give it to him next time he "pops over"; I hear
Arabica coffee is a bit of a tradition in the Vatican, ever since
the days of Pope Clement VIII. I'm sure he could squeeze in a few
confessions between cuppas, that is (of course) if he can bear to
drink from those plain-old china cups at the Vatican.
