You'll want to hear what your former "Guv" is up to:

Hey, that was Ann Richards, who used to be governor of Texas, turning heads Monday afternoon in Pacific Heights. She, and her unmistakable curly white locks, were outside Harry's Bar. The occasion was a fund-raiser [in San Francisco] for fellow Texan Ron Kirk, who is running for U.S. Senate back home. ...

Ann Richards is famous for her line about George H.W. Bush's having been "born with a silver foot in his mouth." George W. Bush beat her in the governor's race. She's let it all go by, she told Bruce. "George Bush was my governor and my president," she explained. "I have no bad feelings toward him or the family. I just think he could use my advice."

.... The guv has no interest in returning to politics directly. She's a consultant now, and spends half her time in Austin and in New York, which she adores. Does she see the Clintons in N.Y.? "I saw Bill when I went uptown to Harlem to visit his office. I saw him once in Aspen. Since Hillary took office, I hardly see her. You see, in politics, if you don't have something to offer or something to ask for, there isn't any time for people. You have to want public office more than anything. It comes before your family, your friends. You don't have a night off -- you have a fund-raiser. If you want a life, as most people know it, then you don't want a political life." SF Examiner.

An update about a terrible export we temporarily inflicted on you:

Anne Robinson movie to be shown on BBC1
BBC1 has confirmed it is to make a TV movie based on the autobiography of Anne Robinson.
The 90-minute drama will focus on the period in the early 1970s when Robinson became an alcoholic and lost custody of her daughter.
It is thought former Brookside star Anna Friel is in talks to play the Weakest Link host.
Memoirs of an Unfit Mother is being adapted for the screen by Paula Milne, whose writing credits include The Politician's Wife.
Producers include Paul Greengrass, who directed Granada's award winning Bloody Sunday film, according to Media Guardian.
The bestselling autobiography was published in October 2001.

I don't know about the Weakest Link, but certainly she's the lamest link.

Regards, Ivan
