Its the same reason the first little pig had his house of straw blown away with one huff and a puff. Why should the world be held hostage to an American fiasco, writ large, of life imitating art?

There must be better people. Maybe no better qualified, but that can be overcome by judicious appointments.

In the red corner we have a psychopath and a pathological liar...

Trump's PolitiFact statements scorecard

True                9 (4%)
Mostly True    24 (11%)
Half True          32 (15%)
Mostly False    32 (15%)
False                79 (37%)
Pants on Fire    40 (19%)

Nothing surprising there...

How is Trump qualified?

What public office has he run for, and held, before?

I actually do have a problem with dyslexia, but with careful re-reading I correct (most) of these before posting.

Shut up, Herbie.

Marla! My favourite bitch. I love the fact that you're American. I never met any Americans when I was living in the UK, and in all my years in Australia I haven't met a single, solitary American, and yet all my life - even going back to my China years - have been spent watching and listening to American actors and actresses on the screen.

Oh, I tell a lie. I've just remembered.

When I was around 7 years old at school in Hong Kong I was absolutely mezmerized by this beautiful American girl with loooong hair who sat at a desk on the other side of the aisle. I don't know what was going on in my 7-year old mind, but one day she turned to me and said ... "Why are you always staring at me?!" Previous to this she had been totally ignoring me.

I said nothing, but turned a bright red and didn't dare look at her again.

Marla = alarM

Be alarMed whenever Marla arrives to put in her two dimes worth.

Jus' sayin'. Tongue
