When asked what we’d do with a lottery winning, most of us would answer things like: Buy a house, buy a new car, donate to charity or go on a world cruise. However, the biggest EuroMillions lottery winners in the history of the jackpot, Colin and Chris Weir decided that they wanted to make a political impact with their windfall. The pair, who bagged themselves a massive GBP 161 MILLLION, have decided to donate a cool one million to their favorite political party – the SNP. The couple are strong supporters of Scottish independence, and Chris even stood for the party back in 1987. The money will be used to push the cause of independence and is the largest single donation made to the political party in its nearly 80 year history. Now that’s what’s you call wielding political power!
On the subject of politics, George Bush Jnr is the politician who probably inspired the most jokes in history. Here’s an example, courtesy of About.com:
The Bush Stamp
The Postal Service created a stamp with a picture of President Bush. The stamp was not sticking to envelopes. This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation.
After a month of testing, a special Presidential commission presented the following findings:
1) The stamp is in perfect order.
2) There is nothing wrong with the applied adhesive.
3) People are spitting on the wrong side.
