I have to work early tomorrow, and will be out in the evening at a magic-comedy show at the local village hall, so am doing tomorrow's card of the day today.

The X Cups, reversed was very stubborn and so this is tomorrow's prediction: sunny, with a few scattered showers.

Things are getting very tense now the European elections are fast approaching, and there is an upset in the general propaganda that the two main parties are peddling, along with Nick Clegg's anger, only slightly less faked because of what his MPs have been up to. I do sense a slight lull in this over the weekend, but only a slight one - there are still more people to come and another resignation has followed tonight: Elliot Morley is to step down from Parliament after his little altercations with the media and fees office.

This card may also have to do with the obscene amount of "golden goodbye" to be paid out to the miscreants who have jumped ship. Although Owlperson notes that it is not easy to wind things up without assistance, particularly in the event of being voted out rather than just retiring, but he still admits there is a deep need from the public for vengeance and that those who have actually been found out to have misused the system should have their assets sequestered to pay for this golden goodbye during the period prior to the general election. Those who have merely made unethical claims should have these allowances paid by the state and should not actually be allowed to claim for them. This needs to be formalised, but there is a unique chance that this is possible at the moment, particularly if Labour and the Conservatives suffer heavily in Thursday's polls.

Here, in the reversed Ten, the cups are running dry and the potential for anyone to make any personal gain from this scandal, whether in the sense of personal egotism (David Cameron, Esther Rantzen) or propagandistic benefit (the PR enthusiasts banging away about a non-sequitur depriving the public of the discussion of just what should now be done, perhaps to prosecute those who may be guilty of outright fraud), is running out.

A brilliant idea came to me the other day - Jacqui Smith's bath plug. Rather missed now the comedy aspect of her porn films on expenses has passed into this terrible, terrible 9/11 scenario, someone really did pull the plug on all of this.

Gurgle.
