Here Daniel Hannan, MEP, addresses UK prime minister Gordon Brown at a session of the European parliament. Do you, like me, long for such eloquent plain talk in D.C.?
I am a wife, mother, grandmother, observer, writer, middlin' cook and imbiber, instigator, awe-struck Christian, conservative and therefore mild cynic, appreciative and therefore optimist. I love the gusto in life; I hate hubris and value humility. I love the English language and deplore its decline in contemporary speech and writing. My husband calls me, fondly of course, an old bag, but I fill it with new tricks. You'll find a lot about politics in my Left Senseless blog, along with my opinions (and I welcome yours!), and glances at life's beauty and pleasures in Plum Duff.
Finally a politician worth listening to, the world needs more straight talking politicians that are not afraid to call a spade a spade.
