I would have thought that Pirate Pete's warrior fantasies would have led him out into the field alongside His Boys, but I evidently misoverestimated him.

People who eat cheese & onion crisps on the bus at 6:20 in the morning just made The List. At least he's wearing earphones.

One can only infer that those with powers to impeach either know or *assume* that he has kompromat on them. Truly a swamp, but he was never there to drain it, just to maintain and sustain it.

Let's be frank, CNN is currently as much use as a chocolate kettle.

What little self-restraint he had is breaking down. It's a matter of time before he goes on a public 'fuck'-strewn rant, or starts screaming the N word at a crowd. He's a painless grenade.

Presumably the same reason we keep seeing a continuum of superheroes - copyright retention. We reach Wizard Event Horizon when the original cast are coaxed back to play their characters' parents.

It's a tough read, but I love the idea of him wearing his tiny fingers to nubbins typing this pre-psychotic bullshit. Yes, I know, they have a pre-psychotic blonde who creates this folderol from Stephen Miller's template. But this is Rodney Dangerfield on Fentanyl.

Marco's determined that if - as seems likely - his soul is to escape his body, then it has to take a whole heap of luggage with it.

I actually watched it at the time with a Welsh-speaking friend who sighed, and said "Oh my Christ, he's singing it in Vulcan."

This is a vital question, so that they know how much dynamite to use. Because, let's face it, people never fucking learn, do we?

Depends whether he sings his speech in Welsh.

That didn't even happen in Tarantino's head. If it had, Tierney would have redecorated the inside of his skull.

Ooh, sounds a bit Soviet. I realise the USSR largely preceded the Internet, but the USA appears to be picking up the slack.

I'm trying to think of a viable way of redeeming them, and I got nothing. One election is ill-judged; two is boneheadedness; three is just plain fucking perversity.

Obsessively awarding himself the medal he begged for, treading the tightrope between smearing his make-up and disturbing his hair, the voice in his head squealing "They like me! They really like me!"
A modern - and ancient - tragedy.
