Paris Hilton Makes a New Video. One That Doesn’t Involve Sex.
Okay, so maybe we're just reacting to Paris Hilton's new advert as many of our readers react to the sarcasm on these pages - by taking things at face value. But it would appear that Paris Hilton is indeed running for the presidency of the United States of America. In a video statement released to political hardline site Funny or Die, Hilton responded to the recent campaign ad from John McCain and the Republican party with her own brand of politics. In the original ad, Paris was likened to Democratic Senator Barack Obama - popular, but ultimately vacuous and easily forgotten (or maybe it was the other way round). It would seem that young miss Hilton didn't take too kindly to these words and has launched something of a war on the Republican Party, vowing to bring them down if it's the last thing she does. Okay, so maybe we're going a bit overboard - even told a couple of porkie pies. She isn't trying to bring down the Republican Party. She isn't actually running for presidency. And Funny or Die isn't technically a political hardline site. But she has been involved in a video response, so it's not all bad news laced with lies.

Barack Obama is a Hybrid of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, Apparently
The race for US presidency isn't something we're likely to cover very much on these pages - it's too divisive even for us. Plus we're British-based, so we're legally not allowed an opinion. Non-partisan as hecklerspray may be though (you vote for who you actually want to vote for), we can't help but feel something of an affinity with Barack Obama after his presidential rival John McCain compared the Democrat to both Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. That's the kind of politician we could get on board with!

US Election Betting Odds: Winning Party
You there! Fancy a 'flutter', do you? Let's face it - even if you ascribe to Bill Hicks' philosophy that American politics is basically choosing which puppet can give the best impression of your beliefs (something Britain seems to have emulated too), then you might as well make a bit of cash out of this whole upcoming election shebang. So we're all doomed to Armageddon no matter who gets into office? Who cares? You've got a tenner that's burning a hole in yer pocket, and you'll be damned if you're not going to do something election-based with it, right here, right now. Let's kick things off with the big boy, then: the betting odds for which party is going to win the 2008 US Presidential Election, as mapped out by those lovely people over at Paddy Power.
