SO the day of the biggest decision in Scotlands history has dawned.
After months of political arguments, expert analysis and trance-like dwams caused by the hypnotic effect of Alistair Darlings eyebrows, our minds are made up.
Its too late to alter the path of destiny, so today Ill nip down to the ballot box, tick a box, then dream a SuBo dream of the kind of country Id like to wake up in tomorrow.
It goes without saying that Iwant an efficient health service, top grade education, excellent carefor our elderly and sick, an employment boom, a thriving economy and free Tunnocks teacakes for all. Those are givens.
But as a working mother and political observationist (I may have made that term up), Ive a few extra requests. So whatever side comes out on top tomorrow, in our new political landscape, can I put in an order for the following?
1. Bigger budgets for childrens sports. Its time the politicians realised that insufficient funds for our clubs and organisations are landing parents in the supermarket circle of hell or, as its more commonly called, the fundraising bag pack.
2. Hiking up holiday costs in school holidays should be outlawed. Travel company bosses who refuse should be subjected to daily short-haul flights to Alicante on a budget airline until they see the error of their ways.
3. Lets scrap all ludicrous quangos. I couldnt care less about the preservation of the marshmallow or the study of the environmental effects of dung. All government bodies that dont contribute to any of the essential needs of the population should be binned. Please do not set up a quango to discuss this.
4. In a similar vein, lets junk the junket. Officials should be banned from going on foreign jollies. We dont need six councillors to stay four nights in a Hyatt Regency to examine irrigation systems in Fiji. The qualifying question to be asked of all trips is: If the same event was in a mud hut in Bognor Regis, would you still want to go?

A medic has accused police of asphyxiating a former Rugby League player who died of suspected cardiac arrest while on holiday in Ibiza.
Doctor Santiago Akoskin said he had to ask a Civil Guard officer three times to remove his baton from Luke Rhoden's neck before he withdrew it.
Mr Rhoden, 25, from Wigan, died on September 2 outside the Ibiza Rocks Hotel in the party resort of San Antonio following a struggle with police.

Officers were called to the hotel after he plunged from a first-floor balcony following a suspected drink and drugs binge.
They have claimed they had to restrain him for his own safety after he started ranting at other guests and refused medical treatment.
But Mr Rhoden's father Norman, who travelled to Ibiza in the wake of his son's death, says he is considering legal action over his concern excessive police force played a part in his son's death.

In multiple Senate races, Democrats are hammering Republican candidates over contraception and Personhood, a development that many observers interpret as a sign that Dems are now the ones on offense in the culture wars.
A new ad blitz from Karl Roves Crossroads GPS nicely captures the emerging dynamic. Colorado GOP Senate candidate Cory Gardner has been treated to the most direct and sustained assault over Personhood of any GOP candidate, and a new Crossroads ad appears designed to defend Gardner against it with an appeal to female voters.
Yet the ad does this only by changing the subject. Heres the spot, which is part of a new, $6 million campaign on Gardners behalf:
The ad never mentions Personhood or contraception. Instead, it obliquely refers to Dem attacks as political scare tactics, even as the featured women declare they want a real conversation about issues that matter, such as the economy. But, as Rebecca Berg writes, this ad actually underscores the challenge Republicans have faced this year appealing to women voters.
Now, its true that the economy is the top concern. But its obvious the Personhood movement (which declares that full human rights begin at the moment of fertilization) has, in fact, dogged Gardner. Last spring he disavowed his support for a previous state Personhood effort, admitting it restricts contraception. But Dems have pointed out that Gardner still supports a federal Personhood measure that would raise the same possibility of restrictions to some forms of contraception. Gardner has tried coming out for over-the-counter contraception, but he currently trails Dem Senator Mark Udall by double digits among women.
The broader story here, as Jonathan Martin details, is that after decades in which Republicans successfully exploited cultural wedge issues, Democrats are now on the offensive in the culture wars. Dems are now using social issues to stoke concerns among moderate voters, especially women, and motivate their base. As one conservative concedes, it is Republicans who are now out of touch with the countrys cultural center and must deal with the fact that the center has shifted.
To be clear, Republicans could still win the Senate in spite of this, thanks to the makeup of the map. But over the long term, as Ron Brownstein has explained, even if Dems are struggling to hold red state Senate seats, their embrace of cultural issues will continue to place the party on the side of an expanding majority of public opinion and a younger, more urbanized, diverse, and secular coalition that will give it an advantage in national elections. Meanwhile, these battles continue to reaffirm the GOPs identity as the champion of the forces most resistant to the profound demographic and cultural dynamics reshaping American life. Its not clear that simply changing the subject will cut it for much longer.

* REPUBLICANS WILL GREEN-LIGHT OBAMAS ISIS PLAN: The Post reports that House GOP leaders have settled on their strategy to give Obama what he wants on ISIS. They will hold separate votes on arming the Syrian rebels and on funding the government:
Rather than inserting the military plan into the government funding bill, it will be offered as an amendment. That will enable conservative hawks who oppose the spending bill to separately back the military plan, and some Republicans and Democrats to support the spending bill. Either way, both proposals pass with a handful of dissenting Republican voices.
