I'm deeply confused. Insofar as Obama said anything concrete when he was running for president, he said he was going to reform the US healthcare system. So, he has a mandate to do it and a large majority. So, why doesn't he just do it? Why does he even care that he doesn't have cross-party support? Seriously, I am totally lost here. -

Entertaining enough evening of theatre, would recommend, particularly since there are £10 tickets.
But.. I was a bit disappointed with it in parts. The entire second act focussed on Bangladeshi muslims - not a single mention of hindu or sikh immigrants and only a very passing ( Read more... ) -
The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club
Better late than never.. another Sayers post.
I really love this novel. I think it's interesting in the sense that it's an important novel in terms of character development and setting the tone for future novels but I think it's also extremely able to stand on its own two feet (as opposed to, say, Have His Carcase - of which more in another post at ( Read more... ) -

Gosh. The Today Programme has told me around 20 times in the last hour that President Obama is going to.. make a speech! Woah! Has he ever done such a thing before? Will it sound pretty? Yes! Will it be kinda soporific? Yes! Will it actually achieve anything? Noooooooo.
Thank you Today Programme. Some news tomorrow, please?
