It will be fun to watch Little Johnny (aka Howard) coughing and spluttering in the morning. I bet he wishes he could make signing statements.

My tobacconist, a devout observant Jew and generally pretty conservative, made a pertinent remark this afternoon. "You know," she said, "it's astonishing how many of these pollies and opinion-makers speaking against stem-sell research suffer from long-term diseases like diabetes that this promises cures for. They're as big hypocrites as that preacher in America who got exposed last week."

Edited for spelling.
