A few weeks ago, David Cameron became Britain’s youngest prime minister.\u00c2\u00a0 This follows a historical election, for the first time since the 70’s that there has been a hung parliament or as Billy Bragg said on BBC a consensus parliament.\u00c2\u00a0 It will be interesting to watch how this develops, how the government will run and what changes will come from this new situation.\u00c2\u00a0 Will the tories and the Lib Dems, led by Nick Clegg, be able to effectively do anything.\u00c2\u00a0 And best of all for me I was in England when it happened and got to see it all and understand how the election process works here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Nick Clegg<\/p><\/div>\n

Poor Gordon Brown, he had to be so hurt by the results but at the same time he can’t be too surprised.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyone following Tony Blair as Prime Minister would have problems not just for the mess of troops in the middle east but\u00c2\u00a0 also because they are following such a strong PM.\u00c2\u00a0 Gordon Brown is in the same spot John Major was in after Maggie Thatcher’s reign.\u00c2\u00a0 No matter what Brown did he would appear weak and ineffective.\u00c2\u00a0 England, like the rest of the world has serious issues of high unemployment rates, particularly in the north, high crime, rising antisocial behaviour problems in the youth the global mixed bag.<\/p>\n

Now on to racing.\u00c2\u00a0 What is the deal with my driver, Carl Edwards?\u00c2\u00a0 Carl still doesn’t have his mojo working.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s gotta come back right?\u00c2\u00a0 I am hoping so.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s Coca Cola 600 was not the best race for him,\u00c2\u00a0 a 16th place finish isn’t the worse but it’s approaching the time to start stepping it up.\u00c2\u00a0 Clint Bowyer got a 7th place finish out of it, I’m happy about that.\u00c2\u00a0 But racing in a backup car doesn’t work out that well<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Jimmie and Carl<\/p><\/div>\n

that often unfortunately for anyone Carl included.\u00c2\u00a0 I do give kudos to Jimmie Johnson and the 48 team for a 37th place finish after a severe crash.\u00c2\u00a0 The fact that Chad Knaus had his guys put that car back out there and finished the race brings back to me their motto of “Maximum Points”, I have to admire the long view they compete with, it will probably allow Jimmie to become the 5 time champ or a close second at worst.\u00c2\u00a0 If only the 99 team could get into that headspace and look to the future as well as the next race.\u00c2\u00a0 Time will tell.\u00c2\u00a0 Bring on Pocono.<\/p>\n

Finally, 10 more days until the World Cup<\/a> begins.\u00c2\u00a0 Whoever you cheer for good luck to you, me,\u00c2\u00a0 I always cheer for Brazil and my home country, USA, though we have crappy chances.\u00c2\u00a0 But maybe, just one year, USA can win and go all the way.\u00c2\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
