    A pox on all their houses. Now I shall have to explain to my little ones how Abott got to run the country with control of the upper house all because of …. playground feelings.

    I fear however that the only way out is further in, so can we please have an exposé on exactly when Wayne tweaked Kevin’s nose at school and why the two of them never got on afterwards. Sigh.

    MJ I concur.
    Ever since dudd gave Jabba the hut and his employers the exclusives, the little moppets have been trying to re-create a Scoop from a disgruntled insignificant. With all the effort that has gone into this, they could have misreported a cure for cancer, or the common cold; or been ordered to write that there is no Dog

    Could be worse, Andybob. Newt Gingrich once shut the US government down for a month because he was angry about being put at the back of plane, and now he’s a presidential contender.

    Does all this remind anyone else of that giant sand-anus thingy that Jabba was going to Skywalker down?
