Many thanks for your ongoing commentary.<br /><br />I'm a bit concerned, though, that the Reptiles' current Kool-Aid intake just isn't doing the job. Some of News Corp's Finest (I use the term advisedly) even seem to be expressing twinges of doubt about the Government, and Tones in particular.<br /><br />What can be done? Put them on an intravenous Kool-Aid drip? Get them snorting the stuff in its original powdered form? Perhaps they need to call in this fellow as a special consultant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kool-Aid_ManAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-25192696715388725672015-08-14T08:23:45.472+10:002015-08-14T08:23:45.472+10:00Hi Dorothy,
