What an amazing ad from UK bakery Hovis. A little boy taking a loaf home goes through 120 years of British history, the bakery is celebrating its 120 anniversary. What a great scene of the Tommies marching off to Flanders and a Spitfire.

I saw this on TV for the first time last night, i was struck how young WWI soldier didn’t look all that much older than the boy, just taller.

Must be getting old.

“I just pray there still is a Britain 120 years from now.”

The question is: “Will there be a US 20 years from now and will it be habitable?” Obama is a potential nail in the nation’s coffin.

Oh please, This country survived Roosevelt and Kennedy, two world wars and a major depression and a civil war. Obama won’t be able to kill this country if we he wins.

Oh please, Rome survived Caligula and Nero, Hannibal’s invasion, and a gigantic slave uprising. Nothing in the 450s is going to knock Rome down.

Makes me sad to see the England of old—I know how it used to be through my mom.
