London Elections

Yesterday the people of London set out amidst sun, winds, rain, and hail (yes...I experienced all of these multiple times in a 3 hour period yesterday) to cast their vote for the new Mayor of London. I have to say that the politics and government of this country completely alludes me. So much is arbitrary. In any case - I won't go into all of that here - the mayor of London for 2008 - 2012 was just announced. Boris Johnson will take over at the helm for Mayor Ken Livingstone. And now my question is...


How did this guy, with THAT hair, win ANY political office? BTW...if you don't know anything about Boris Johnson, he LOVES to talk loudly (just on the verge of yelling) and, well, he scares me a bit. And those in the first row at one of his speeches undoubtedly go home soaking wet. That's not an attack on him as a person or any of his political views. He's just kind of a scary man at first observation. We will see soon how he handles "the world in one city." Please pray for Boris Johnson and the political leaders of London and the UK so that "we may live in peace and safety in Godliness and holiness."
