Is there an election coming on?
 
Andy's post of the week:
"I fell asleep in my chair yesterday. When I woke up, someone had put a teabag into my mouth. I'm not happy. I hate being taken for a mug."
 
To get people to cry ‘Hosanna!’, you first must ride into town on an ass. Backwards ideally, whilst telling the people the tall stories they want to hear. David Mitchell, ‘Cloud Atlas’

“Political language.. is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind”. George Orwell, ‘Politics and the English Language’
 
And finally, here is one (sent to me by Gerald East) from one of America's great actors and later on Politician, Arnold Schwarzenegger: "Having more money doesn't make you happier. I have 50 Million dollars, but I'm just as happy as when I had 48 Million."
