I thought this was pretty funny. It would seem that people were looking at Tony Blair's doodles and the experts concluded that he is stressed and not a good leader. The only problem with the conclusion? It wasn't Blair's writing - it was Bill Gates. I guess that is why he has been such a failure inthe business world - he is stressed and not a natural leader.

"We look forward to psychologists reassessing their conclusions of how these characteristics ascribed to the prime minister equally apply to Mr. Gates," the Downing Street spokesman said.

Something tells me that we'll never see a follow up on this one.

I think this is another good example of how we sometimes assess and analyze new input in such a way that it can only support our own preconceived ideas.
