Bad news sandwich
Gordon Brown was reputed to have a bit of a temper when prime minister, especially when he got bad news. Which is why his staff when needed to bring him some resorted to an old trick: a bad news sandwich. Give a bit of good news, then a bit of bad news, then a bit of good news again. I want to try this as well, to take the bitter taste of Palin away. So this is another cute animal video post.
Now the next post down is Palin, but the post after that is kittens!
Cheer up! Kittens!

Enough with the ConDems already, dammit. Feh to the fate of the nation.
What the nation really, really needs now is stories about ikkle fwuffy kittens, awww. And by happy chance (and a bit of googling) one turned up just in time:
A Sydney police officer’s turbo-charged patrol car was literally purring like a kitten after a tiny black cat became trapped underneath.
Now police are anxious to find the lucky kitten’s owner after its dramatic use of one of its nine lives.
The frightened moggy was found in the engine bay of the Ford XR6 Turbo, which had been used in an RBT patrol at Cartwright, in Sydney’s south-west on Friday morning.
Constable Tex Tannous said he almost hit the kitten when it ran in front of his highway patrol car on Cartwright Avenue about 11.30am (NZT).
The officer managed to brake in time and assumed the cat had run away after he couldn’t see it near the car.
He pulled over and found the kitten had scampered up into the undercarriage.
[…]
The car – cat still on board – was taken to a nearby mechanic, who removed the front bumper and extracted the cat, who was unharmed except for a small scratch on her nose.
She is now being cared for by the Guildford Veterinary Hospital and is up for adoption.
