Third option

Nov. 7th, 2016 at 4:09 PM

What was I thinking of the other day when I only gave options of moving to Canada or outer space following a Trump victory? (Neither of which might be possible, of course, as I can just see Canada's border wall going up as we're going to the polls here, and there's zero housing in outer space, affordable or market rate.)

But, but, but ... I live in California. California is the 6th largest economy in the world. Hollywood! Agriculture! Silicon Valley! We could secede and take the whole west coast and Hawaii with us....

There's a motion on twitter to ask Obama to serve another couple of terms... in France. He's way better than any of our lot! Admittedly the Élysée isn't as big or impressive as the White House BUT I bet its wine cellar is better. Surely that counts as something?

No, you can't have him! He's a constitutional law expert. We need him for the Supreme Court.

In the interest of fairness though he really should be told what vintages are in each cellar, hmmm?

Perhaps you could have him on loan to help sort out Brexit....

I see Theresa had a rude awakening in New Delhi when Modi brought up immigration as part of any future bilateral trade talks. That should give pause to all the Brexiteers/Brexiters who think negotiating post-Brexit trade deals will be easy.

And speaking of Brexiteers/Brexiters (which is the preferred term, btw?), I read recently that Boris has better hair now that he's become FM.
