I never participate in these things, but this one was just too goofy to pass up: “Jeremy Clarkson for Prime Minister”
Apparently the Prime Minister’s office in the UK has an website where the Queen’s subjects can request favors and allow others to vote for it. Somebody wanted Jezza as PM, and they actually ran it. Mind you just to prove how lame the system is it allowed me to vote – using nothing but my old address in Wiltshire as “proof of eligibility”… hell I was merely a resident alien and that was a decade ago!
Well, yesterday I received an email from the PM’s office stating:
From: “10 Downing Street”
To: “e-petition signatories”
Subject: Government response to petition ‘PMClarkson’
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:10:11 +0000You signed a petition asking the Prime Minister to “Make Jeremy Clarkson
Prime Minister.”The Prime Minister’s Office has responded to that petition and you can view

The page they reference points to a YouTube Video:
Unlike our government, at least the brits have one with a sense of humor, or humour, as the case may be.
