Today's apposite lyrics

Accept certain inalienable truths - prices will rise, politicians will philander,
you too will get old and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young
prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Personally, I don't really care, unless of course someone can find me a quote from him saying that philanderer's are the source of all evil. I'm generally amazed when they can find a politician who doesn't have a sexual secret somewhere in their closet. It's typical alpha-male behaviour, and if people insist on having alpha-males as their leaders then what do they expect?

One thing I've noticed about MPs (more than councillors) is that they have a tendency to think they're immune to comeback - most of them go from being regulated, ruled upon, and controlled highly as local level councillors to being completely devoid of especially strong rules and regs. Add to the fact that cabinet ministers tend to let power go to their head, and you've got a recipe for demonstrations of impulses in the non Ft=mv-mu sense of the word....
