Spare a thought for the Americans who actually saw this coming. The critical thinkers. The ones who did the reading, joined the dots and voted against the orange catastrophe, and who are now stuck living inside the wreckage anyway through no fault of their own. If some imported clown was doing this to Australia I would be climbing the bloody walls, so I will not insult anyone by pretending I know what it feels like to cop it day after day. My heart goes out to every one of them. And I will level with you, it is genuinely hard to write these pieces some weeks. You are swinging at the tangerine skidmark with everything you have got, knowing full well the readers you are swinging for are the same people getting kicked in the guts by the bastard.
