Brown is the new Blair


Turns out Our Glorious leader, Taro Aso, (pictured above sharing a joke with himself) got his Browns and his Blairs confused at the Davos conference. He kept referring to Tony Blair (the former British Prime Minister) as Tony Brown. Our Man actually feels sorry for him though, it is hard to tell the difference with the current plonker, Gordon Brown. Here's a little free advice for him: Gordon Brown is the unpopular fat one, Tony Blair is the unpopular thin one. Charlie Brown is the popular American manga character, and shouldn't be confused with either. What Our Man wants to know though is, wasn't Davos the head of the Daleks in Dr Who? If so, someone should warn Our Glorious Leaders, it could be a trap. By the way, Our Man gives humble thanks to JapanSoc for highlighting the story. Our Man missed it, as he was still busy playing with his Obamiconme toy. It's not time to put away childish things yet, is it?
