If James Spader and Donald Trump were British and could somehow procreate (crikey, what am I saying here), their male offspring would be the spit and image of Boris Johnson.

This week, and it’s only Tuesday, has been a right mess. I almost don’t know where to begin. Today’s topics range from the bailout to the debate to the President to oh, God, I don’t know what else. It’s like me cleaning out my closet. I take one look inside and call for Chris’ aide [...]
