Are they awesome...or super-awesome!

And yes, for this service Mr. Brooks is paid vast sums of money.

Of course, if you are interested in the use of extended literary metaphor to limn deeper political truths, may I humbly suggest my own. modest efforts from 2007, "A Rose for Bobo":

Poison Apple
if you are ever stupid enough to bring it home with you.

For the last six years or so, Mr. Sullivan has made a very profitable cottage industry out of pretending that these two things have nothing whatsoever to do with each other.

One of the things I love about the internet is the cross cultural contamination of the english language as spoken by those here in actual england and over in america.

One of my favourites is the americans use english swearwords and slang. Wanker and twat come to mind.

Keep up the good work dude.
