There is an article in today's FT fretting about the fact the the 2008 US Presidential election will eat up more than $1bn in campaign contributions.
This sounds terrifying, until you consider that today it was also announced that next season's Premiership football wages bill will top £1bn.
£1bn, remember, is nearly twice $1bn, and the latter is paying to elecet probably the most powerful person in the world, whilst the former is paying for a large number of men to kick a leather recreation of a pig's bladder around the place.
The world is a very odd plac.
