complaining about politics, politicians, and the government

We've had sunny weather for the last couple of days -- well, no, let's be more precise, we've had weather that involved at least some sunshine. I think it really has made a difference in people's moods.

(I ignore the coming weather forecasts of fogs and cold. Bah.)

Possibly I should not watch the news so often. Every time I see/hear something involving Cameron (our Prime Minister) or other members of our current government, I have a strong urge to scream rude things at the television screen. Or just say rude things. You know how it is.

I wish I could turn the clock back and vote Labour. I think a lot of people do.

Resentment Near the Jade Stairs

Dew whitens the jade stairs.
This late, it soaks her gauze stockings.

She lowers her crystal blind to watch
the breaking, glass-clear moon of autumn.

-- Li T'ai-po, tr. Hamil
