Parallel Universe

The fun thing about being abroad and reading the foreign press is that very often they get things just fantastically wrong. I appreciate outsider analysis of US politics - sometimes it´s very insightful. But, every now and then it just makes one go < johnstewart> wuuuuuhhhhhh? < /johnstewart > .

Along those lines, I responded with a bit of a giggle when, walking past the news stand, I see the top headline on the Independent is "Cheney Under Pressure to Quit Over False Evidence."

Yes, I know that there are those who are pressuring Cheney to quit. But, it doesn´t quite warrant such a headline.
