Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, where 21 of the 50 states will hold primary elections. Oye! (Which is different from Oi!)
I despise that the election cycle has started so early. It's an American Hell. The general election is over eight months away, and I'm already sick of Clinton/McCann/Obama/Romney/Huckabee
So, I thought I'd escape the incessant election news frenzy by watching BBC News. I was terribly surprised to discover that much of the same coverage was appearing on the BBC, (but with more dignity). But then I realized is was the BBC America edition (I think).
So here's my question: how much has the BBC reported on the American primaries in the UK?
If it has taken up more than 90 seconds of the broadcast, my sincerest apologies.

It is taking up a big chunk of our news programmes. Even our presenters have flown to America to present their coverage from there rather than the normal studio.

If you want to see humans are at their worst. Look at politics.

Why is it called "Super" Tuesday?
Why couldn't be called Fantastic Tuesday? Or Really Important Tuesday? Absolutely Fabulous Tuesday? Or, Interesting-But-Far-Too-Overwhelming Tuesday?

How about, "Why-Can't-They-All-Go-Away Tuesday"?

I don't know if it's the west wing or what, but I do find myself very interested in Super Tuesday, and will certainly be watching some of the coverage tonight. It certainly takes up a lot of our news coverage which is probably good news for our government right now, takes off a little bit of attention.

Why? What's Gordon Brown and the MPs been up to?

Why? What's Gordon Brown and the MPs been up to? Nothing much about running Britain. All sides seems to be full of sleeze when it comes down to public money and donations.

Hillary and Obama are neck 'n neck, which means this primary season will go on far too long.
