Dinner With the Pres
I just thought it was funny today that the President's State of the Union Address was televised in Commons all through today's mealtime. Everyone was eating their dinner crowded around the screen, variously looking disappointed or amused and marginally interested in their food.
Reed is a pretty politics-conscious place, and just about everyone is Liberal with about five capital L's. ("LLLLIBERALL!") You should have heard all the laughing and jeering tonight. I also thought the State of the Union was pretty laugh- and jeer-worthy, I have to say. Yes, I am also a liberal, because I am a Reedie. Q.E.D.

Well, I listened to all of Prime Minister's Question Time while I was at work today.
I'm quite jealous you're at somewhere that gives half a crap about politics actually - Nottingham's liberals seemed to be a mix of the jaded, the apathetic, and the easy-to-ignore. Whereas it's filthy tories were visible AS.
Harumph.
Well, I'm living with a (*shudder*) Daily Mail reader, which gives me a cheap laugh if nothing else.
Oh, and if you haven't seen this before...

Enjoy!
One of my old housemates used to buy the Daily Mail and leave it round the house just to annoy me. I pointed out he was funding terrorism, of sorts.
