Demagogue

I haven't posted in a while because I was in London all last week. I might not post much for another while because I'm going back there tomorrow, and I might be in Turin next week.

But a short tidbit from my trip: I spent a lot of my small amount of free time in bookstores--Amsterdam has plenty of English books, of course, but coming from here, a London bookstore appears still seems like an oasis. So I get to the counter to pay for my haul of books, and I see a display of the current issue of Private Eye. I wince with embarrassment upon seeing the cover.

I don't know how many Americans realize what a laughingstock our president is to the rest of the world.
