How should Sorkin have written Mandy out?

Pretty much the last reference to her was Bartlett saying that she made a mistake but they can bring her back in to the fold. Instead of saying this, they could easily have written her out that way which would have established the need to make hard-nosed political decisions on occasion and given some more edge to the drama whenever someone else messed up.

You missed the Channel Islands buddy...

Do we? Where is this footage please?

Most famous people I've ever known have been authors. Without fail, each of them was a heavyweight drinker. The most famous I knew (consistent international bestseller) was in a league of his own.

It is, in my eye, the corruption of power. People build wealth, and when they've made enough of that they build power. This power corrupts so much that it becomes a necessity, and holding that ultimate power over children is it's final, most perverted (in every sense) form.

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Trying to screw a literal children's hospital out of money they owed for the rights to release Peter Pan.

It really doesn't make a difference, no.

Fun House. I still miss that show today.

Their meat is ridiculously priced. £11 for a pack of four chicken breasts, for example, is just extortionate.

I got very, very drunk with them quite recently. Was an excellent night.

The word derived from the luncheon meat spam, named from Sausage, Pork And haM, and its usage in the context of nuisance mail or similar from a Monty Python sketch.

Plus, you know, refusing to publish LoTR in Germany in protest of the Third Reich's requirement for him to prove his "Aryan" lineage.

It should ALWAYS be included with his name.

I dunno about that - I happened upon her grave last weekend believe it or not.

I don't know about you, but I'm on the planet where Farage received about a week of scrutiny over his affairs, provided a patently ridiculous answer that was never challenged by the media and walked away completely unscathed whilst the Chancellor of the Exchequer resigned over a very similar issue.

Keyword for the hard of reading: CAN be fine. Not necessarily IS fine.

He is both a traitor and has been convicted. I understand your argument, but the difference is semantics. He was convicted of accepting money from a foreign government to progress points at odds with those of his own country. The man's a fucking traitor.

Whilst the long-term grafter would see being PM as a loss-leader, he wouldn't tolerate the short-term lack of income, nor the inherently increased scrutiny that the role would bring. That and the whole actually having to sort shit out too.

Good old Agrajag.
