Independent bollocks

For the first time in ages I caught sight of The Independent. This was the top story on page one:

If the human race as a whole, rather than 50 states plus the District of Colombia, could cast a ballot this coming November, John Kerry would surely win the presidency by a landslide.

Unfortunately for President Bush-haters around the world, only the 200 million United States citizens of voting age will have that right - and the outcome is anything but sure.

Remember that is meant to be the News page not the Editorial page, I didn't bother to go there, but I did notice:

Too much choice
Overwhelming stress of facing too many options

Obviously life would be much better if the state just made one sort of toothpaste and one sort of car and the poor consumer didn't have to worry about choice...
