I mean, in what other countries does the head of government show up for a five minute interview, an a rather critical one, too, on the national broadcasting company? I noticed this last Saturday, too, when “Sausage” Hansen, the secretary of labour, appeared for a couple of minutes, explaining some finer points of his recent policies. That was awesome enough, seeing as Hansen was on for no more than one or two minutes, around 7 PM on a Saturday, but the Stoltenberg thing today was even better, seeing as the anchorman almost flayed him with critical questions.

Man, I love the Norwegian political system. It may have its weaknesses, but it sure as hell has its strengths as well.

Oh, and I love Heroes and Studio 60, too. Damn, I’m so full of love these days, someone should boil soup on me and force feed various political leaders with it.

And a final “oh, and…”: I had planned on writing reviews of the books I read this weekend, but I think I’m gonna have to postpone that for a couple of days, as my head’s close to bursting with pain, and I’m unable think through the red fog of pain that’s clogging my cognitive vision.
