The Post Peggy Didn't Want You to See

Thank you for joining us for the second of our two consecutive Free World Leaders postings. We've consciously steered this blog away from any kind of political commentary, as not to alienate vital sections (you know who you are) of our reader base too much. That and not wanting the Department of Homeland Security waiting for us at the airport when trying to re-enter the states. But! In sporting news, Dubya went to India and Pakistan last week to get himself some that nuke-u-lar loving, and managed to play some crickey in the process. Upon seeing these photos, Peggy stated that her fearless leader has just ruined the novelty of the holding 'awkward American playing cricket' title which she could boast to her friends. Now, everyone it seems has had a spin and bowling the wickets.

Continuing with our (my) best Jon Stewart impression, Dubya thought that there was going to be a keg awaiting him at the other end of the pitch after he hit the ball. After being hit in the head with a ball (picture below), he commented, 'Dipanksar (or Deppie as he calls him), you're doing a helluva job'. Thankfully, Dubya was well suited to play a game which mandates a bunch of standing around for days on end. Ba-dum-pa! Thank you, please remember to tip the bus boys... I'll be here all week.



Peggy's cricket season has concluded for the next few months, allowing her to transition to her native sport of field hockey, of which she made the highly competitive second grade team for the University. Not much standing around in that sport. Should Dubya happen to visit another Commonwealth country, don a plaid skirt and try his hand at field hockey, I think the missus might give up sports altogether.
