What DVD collections should Obama have given to Gordon Brown, to help bring up the value of his cheap gift to that of the Prime Minister's to him? This is providing, of course, that they are available in Region 2 PAL coding (take note, White House Staff!) or he also provides Gordie with a new DVD player:
#1. 24, will confirm the Brits assumptions about the U.S., but maybe give them something to think about.
#2. The Gilmore Girls, good show, interesting characters, with enough liberalism thrown in to make the White House happy.
#3. House, since that great Brit, Hugh Laurie, who was well known in the U.K. for Black Adder before the Yanks ever heard of him, is the star attraction. This is both very funny and deeply moving at the end, with the memorial to those who died in World War I. The British need to regain that fighting spirit to rid themselves of Londanistan.
More later.

Just wonderin'...Did anyone in Team Obama bother to find out if the DVD collection that President Obama gave Prime Minister Gordon Brown is actually compatible with DVD players in the UK? In case Rahm and the Gang don't know it, DVDs are coded by country, and unless Team Obama took special care to ensure that the DVD collection was coded for the UK (yeah right), Mr. Brown -- or whichever American film afficianado at Downing Street that he dumped the movies on -- won't be able to watch them. Obama should have supplied a DVD player, too.
All that said, some of us are movie buffs even if Gordo is not. Here are some of my suggested DVD collections: See the update above.
