Possible new job?

So the Portuguese PM is to be the next president of the European Commission? Sounds a bit like smoked-filled rooms to me. And exactly where was the job advertised?

But maybe it was and I missed seeing the job ad in the Economist this week.

Not to worry. I've written to Javier Solana, the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, today to see how I can put myself forward. I hope to put the details up when I get a response.
