Weekly Wombat (23/09/12 - 04/10/12) giving you more than 7 days!

This week on the weekly Wombat...

The Americans ask David Cameron whether the Magna Carta is overrated, Steve jobs is seen on a truck in China, Batman gets arrested and Obama makes Reagan MK2 look good...

1) On a recent trip to the US to boost tourism to the UK... cause in a time of economic woe most peoples first choice of destination would be the Island of Britain with its warm weather, sandy beaches and smiling natives... wait wait, I have dyslexia - I mean Bali... David Cameron decided to go on the Letterman show. It was there he was asked the million dollar question of is the Magna Carta really that important? In a time where current issues need addressing to save society as we know it it's great to see that the British Prime minister also has time to debate a burning issue and relevant question that started in 1215 with the signing of the document...

I would like to ask a question to Mr Letterman... who the fuck cares? seriously? I mean is there not some more serious issues that we should be discussing here? like... trillion dollar debts, over spending by banks, world poverty, climate change, racism, sexism, the struggle for equality... no wait, the signing of the Magna Carta and it's significance on modern society is way more important... thanks David Letterman and David Cameron for putting life into perspective...


The Magna Carta states that no one person is above the law, not even the king... so arrest the bankers and the people who fucked it all up in the first place then... but seriously there are far more important things to discuss as whether the Magna Carta is relevant today...

2) Ok so this is a weird one... the late Steve Jobs was seen on the back of a truck in China.. The snap (seen below) started an internet phenomenon...

After Jesus on toast, Mary on a cloth and Chairman Mao was seen on the moon it was only a matter of time before Steve Jobs was seen on a truck in China... people are debating whether Jobs has been reincarnated and wearing a turtleneck and holding his chin in China, or whether it is a waxwork or even a cutout or a doctored photo... It could indeed mean that Apple has moved on from Ipads and started making Ipeople that can be 'recharged' - one thing is for sure... this changes everything


3) What is the world coming to when you can't dress up like a complete tosser, try and solve crime without being arrested... Well it turns out that we do in fact live in this world...

and here he is... having traded Gotham for Michigan has now been arrested twice for getting in the way of solving crime. I happen to love these people who try and solve crime dressed up in homemade costumes, they even have one in Sao Paulo, Brasil, and think that anyone who tries to make a difference for the better deserves a little bit of recognition ... So well done Mark Wayne Williams from Michigan... but if you happen to be somewhere where the police don't want you to be - like a crime scene where they are trying to use sniffer dogs who are getting distracted by your scent, go and grab a coffee in the bat cave, cause if you go to jail you can't do much good in there - and I'm not sure quite how long you'd last... everyone can help someone everyday... you don't need to beat up a mugger, just help and old person cross a road or buy a homeless person a coffee.. and luckily you don't need to dress up like a prick to do it :)

4) and finally! Obama and Romney took to the stand and in what was expected to be a political KO for Romney made Obama look about as passionate as an insurance salesman... Please Barack ... tell me this was some sort of mercy, that you didn't want a landslide victory that made you look too good... cause Romney seems to be the most scary candidate since Reagan.  When Reagan was in power with his finger on the button not just the enemies of America cowered... the world went running... so please Barack, get your head in the game... stop telling people that you were not the perfect president, that you will not again be a perfect president and start saying come on... look at him... then think 'it could be worse'... either that or why not debate over the relevance of the Magna Carta cause that seems like a pretty hot topic right now and take Rommey to the cleaners... I have one more suggestion... if you want another term power... forget the promises and the rhetoric, just offer to release the files displaying the truth about the Kennedy assassination.... Bribery will get you everywhere...
