Probably not, I suspect even the lamentable Zsolt Baumgartner would keep their number 2 driver positions' safe. After all, their relative performances against their teammates last weekend in Malaysia were as poor as usual. I've panned DC enough times already, so today's fish in the barrel is Ralf.

Despite this mediocre performance, there are still persistant stories about Ralf re-signing for Williams or joining Toyota even if he does have to take a paycut, frankly if I was Frank, I'd be more concerned about losing sponsorship money and championship points (and hence Bernie's money) than a minor cut in an under-performing and over-priced driver's salary. Even if Schumi-lite does follow all the advice he's being given he's still a long way from being truly competitive.

Fortunately it seems like Frank is already looking very seriously at Mark Webber and Scott Dixon for next season, and Ewan tells me that the FIA allows you to change the number 1 driver once and the number 2 driver three times in a season. Given that JPM appears to be the number 1 driver, he suggests that we might see Gene in a Williams race seat once the season gets back to Europe. Wishful thinking perhaps, but as Ralf seems more intent on taking out his team mate, rather than overtaking anyone else, Gene could be a very wise choice.

Ok, I'm a little cynical about protesting against Bush's desire to be seen (and more importantly photographed) in situations that imply he's improved "Homeland" security.

After all he's a politician, so it's standard procedure, much like lying, taking kickbacks, kissing babies, and going to funerals of people you've indirectly killed, but as part of my role in The War Against Bullshit I applaud Ezra's stance.

Who dares to love forever?

I suspect I'm a member of one of the last generations who will escape immortality. Will my children ever grow old and die naturally? Sometimes I wonder.

Maybe it is...

I don't know what the solution is, oral contraceptives in alco-pops and Sunny D or cutting the Kings Ferry bridge towing Sheppey out to sea and sinking it would be the populist suggestions. They might work, but I would suggest that education is probably the better solution, but what should one do when you can't even get the bastards into school?
