This is absolutely categorically not a comment on a thread on politics, but don't you have to be unwell (I nearly said crook!) to be a politician in the first place.
The day I hear of one resigning because they've woken up feeling fine will be really newsworthy.
:rolleyes:

Actually wasn't there someone not that long ago in Australian politics who did wake up one morning and say to himself "I don't need this crap" and promptly resigned? I reckon that's about as close to feeling well as any politician could get.
You just made my day reading this.Quote:

Is not kumbay ya a god-botherer song sung by junior woodchucks around the campfire ?
anyway so long as I can hum it whilst cooking pancakes and wearing a foil hat i'll be fine....
I maintain that anyone that wants to be a politicain should not be allowed to be one.
