    Unfortunately you can't impeach for being an idiot or even incompetent (eg Warren Harding, James Buchanan). As everyone says Trump is doing what he said would and he got elected. Only at the point (if) the Democrats find a viable candidate for 2020 will the Republicans think about trying to shut him up. But support impeachment - no.

    On a more-lighthearted note, Marty Jannetty is apparently going to do porn before he finally fucking dies in the next three years

     

     

    Should that be finally dies fucking?

    Oddly enough if he'd added some genuine existential angst to the summary of Arsenal's woeful second half performance yesterday it might have been the perfect combination.

    Might not be wise to interview Wenger on the top floor of a high building.

    It's another Tues muse from me I'm afraid.

     

    Burned vs Burnt. I had a look over the acceptability of this after seeing a trailer for a programme, I forget which one. Now, I would have thought that there are very few (see last muse) situations in which you could use these interchangeably. Apparently I'm wrong according to the Web. I would have always used "burnt" more in the descriptive way, such as "The toast was burnt" i.e. describing something that had been burned, or in a subjective way. "Burned" on the other hand to me means a more active role, such as "She took an axe to his head and burned all his clothes".

     

    I am more inclined to use "dreamt" than "dreamed" though, except when singing along to the Les Miserables soundtrack.

    I'm tending to feel burned out these days, but not burnt out (unless I was a car on the local estate).

    PS do you keep the axe in the cellar?
