Just this dinnertime, I saw part of a speech by Ed Davey (leader of the Lib Dems in the UK), where he said that supporting Ukraine militarily would also be defending Europe and the UK against Russian aggression. He clearly missed a trick there: if he'd added ".... and even the people of the United States", he'd have (a) been telling no less than the truth, and (b) got right up Agent Orange's left nostril. Let's hear it for malicious accuracy.

Separately, I saw coverage of the Pope being transferred back from hospital to the Vatican in his little white Fiat.* Comparing and contrasting that with the armoured vehicle known as The Beast used to move POTUS around, I was reminded of the old joke: At a wedding, the bride wears white to symbolise purity .... and the groom wears black.

* The Pope can't stand up, so the Popemobile is having a lie down.
