Got so much to catch up on, can't even think of a funny place mark.

Comey seems incapable of getting it right about the Clinton email business.

The delicacy of the hint in that Politico piece is quite exquisite.

I see that the lad has released his tax returns, Across

Wait..which lad, cosie?

Apparently May wants to re-legalise fox hunting.

Your future Governor, Across.

You didn't think I meant 45 did you?

DH and I have named yesterday's testimony as "Schroedinger's Session" in which information/evidence both existed and did not exist simultaneously. We just wish someone would open the damn box and either let out the live cat or bury the dead one.

Or as my dear old dad would have put it: "Ain't sayin' yep. Ain't sayin' nope. Just sayin'............mebbe".

I have to admit to a wee bit of hope there Cozie. But then, I've always "tried to believe up to six impossible things everyday" to misquote the White Queen.

'Hope is a good breakfast but a bad supper' as the saying goes.

Bigly

The problem is their 'token woman' is a Republican and anti-choice, although she does appear to approve of contraception itself it also appears that she also favours defunding Planned Parenthood for contraception services. But as the 'token woman' they'll try to say "See Shelly's a woman, we asked her and so this is what the wimminz want".

Well, I did recently see the immortal line on MN that Katie Hopkins is British, so what she writes must constitute "British values".

Which shows up a, er, number of issues with the clichéd use of Britishvalues™.

So this will be Wimminzvalues™...

Those sayings about heart near mouth and hope breakfast/supper sound really pithy & good, but I'm not sure I've understood them properly. Can you do the sayings for dummies versions please?

My apologies, illegitimate. I tend to post what comes to mind. I'll post at greater length next time.

Interesting piece from today's papers.

Scandal

Hope breakfast not supper thing means (I think) that its fine to hope at the beginning of something (i.e.breakfast) but its not so good to keep hoping at the end of it all (i.e. supper)
