  1. Congrats on your twunt status Cat!
  2. Ok was out this evening, so I'm a little tipsy. Bumped into a US Chicago based Democrat who was basically telling me Obama was establishment, despite his appearance to the world at large. Told him I thought perhaps the US was more amenable to "small steps" progress/change, particularly on Obamacare, which he declaimed as having a negative effect on the very supporters of such a system, as it came outwith the reach of a lot of Democratic supporters. This came a surprise to me, and probably explains why there is more polarisation than ever in the US than those outside would care to imagine. It's not for us to speculate magnificently on how policies of Presidents impact on the American people, as we tend to see those policies as to how they would affect/impact on us. He was telling me how Trump had contributed to Hillary's campaigns in the past (I have no idea how correct this is) and that by being a success now was a way of ensuring Hillary would become President in the face of an US public who would never vote for a woman to hold that title. I'd be interested in hearing anyone from that side of the pond on these points.

    Law And Order

    because he was still active at the time of his death and died suddenly. Surely someone disliked him enough to continually pick him though? Most beloved and most hated normally get some form of interest, nothing like Thatcher imo.

    By-Election Bingo

    FAO Maryport The Voice of YMP might be on for a good one here, long term. Mike Gapes had a heart attack, and was only released from hospital last week, 2 months on. Shit, he's lording it over me already without this encouraging boost. This ain't a sprint, ain't a marathon but it's an ultra-marathon, right. Well unless some blue ones start dying we have still got another 50 months to play. Maybe a nice hotel stopover in Brighton...

    Assassinations

    Let me guess, you also think there was no way the bullet could have struck both Kennedy and Connally the way it did? What's that got to do with Robert Kennedy's assassination?

    Assassinations

    Sirhan Sirhan up for parole again: https://www.rawstory.com/2016/02/robert-kennedy-assassin-sirhan-sirhan-faces-parole-board-for-the-15th-time/ Always intriguing how more than the 8 shots his gun held were heard fired and that Robert Kennedy was shot from a completely different angle to that where Sirhan was situated.
