Oh my god!  You mean it's DOUBLED here in Norway since the last
report two or three weeks ago?  I've GOT to start reading the
papers more closely.

I must have slept through this here.  I could swear the country
was still led by Labor - which has been almost taking turns with
the Conservatives since the end of the war in leading the government.
But since you say so, i am sure you, on the other side of the
Atlantic, must know more than i do living here.  Also this shift to
the right, i was totally unaware of it.  Just think!  All this
major change going on right under my nose, and i missed it!

Using capital letters.  Now i'm convinced that you're right.

If i were you, i'd get your eyes checked; it seems that jingoism
is making everything look black and white to you again.
