Hurriedly scribbled by Dave Weeden @ 6:37 pm

Bush on Radio 4 this evening:

The legislative process is sometimes not very pretty, but we are going to get a package passed.

Wikiquote gives this to Bismarck, possibly.

Laws are like sausages. You should never see them made.

From anyone else, I’d assume that was a reference. From Bush, it probably counts as an original thought. ("From anyone else", BTW, meant from any other credible politician, commentator, blogger, person on the bus, barefoot shouty person in the street. Anyone bar Sarah Palin in other words.)

This is a blog. Where it says “hurriedly scribbled,” it means just that. These views are not necessarily my considered opinions. Think of them as velleities and lemmas.

However, and this more an admission of shameless vanity than a point of principle, if you’re thinking of lifting some feculent post here and publishing it on a site which requires subscription, or in one of those newspapers or magazines we bloggers have heard terrible tales of, I strongly suggest that you a) be so gracious as to inform me (email address below) and b) consider a large offering to a good cause.
