You say tomato

What a wonderful sentence:

"[The Supreme Court of the US] acknowledged the botanical reality of their fruithood, but ruled that in common understanding and usage, they are treated as vegetables and should be taxed as such."

(From an article about tomatoes, as read out by my boss this morning.)

In other news, I have betrayed the Marmite. I just had lemon curd on my toast.

I don't have much faith in politicians.

I'd be genuinely surprised if there was anyone here who would say they did have.

I did when I was little! But then I also remember being 11, and working out that I had three weeks to go in which I could kill Newt Gingrich before I turned 12, and would be legally liable for my crime. So the faith can't have lasted too long.

I have as much faith in politicians as in any other sector of society - possibly slightly more. Its just that when they screw up/do something corrupt, it matters more, and gets more publicity.
