The Far Side used to be one of my favourite cartoons, but Gary Larsen’s return hasn’t really stuck with me.

I’m just not very good at spooky movies, can’t suspend disbelief for things I find it hard to believe in.

Keeping things minimal, I guess this will have to do.

That picture is worth so much more than 1000 words, and yet I don't expect it to have any impact where it matters most, among the people rejecting "socialised" medicine all the way to their early graves.

Puzzling? This stuff writes itself, doesn't it. Not that I am going to let it, but the thought is definitely there. We've had near and anxious (ha; not anxious, astonish. Mr Freud, your slip is ready.) and stoop and now puzzling, and you still expect me to believe the choices are random?
