    Question Time has been very entertaining recently. It's a bit like a public flogging - sit back and watch a Labour victim squirm as the audience, panel and Dimbleby tease them.

    Did I dream it, or did Sarah Palin's debate speech consist of saying "there's a moose loose in this hoose", before rushing off to reapply her lipstick?

    Sorry for being a twit - if I think it, I post it.

    Now we know what the last days of the Weimar Republic felt like! Which reminds me, didn't Austria just lurch to the Right?
