Terminally insane...

Intel from the grang opening of the Bus Terminal yesterday:

"I was watching the news last night and honestly though I was viewing a recap of the throne speech … given the number of PLP MPs in the audience. It was only after the camera angle widened that I realized it was a dedication ceremony for the bus terminal … wow … these guys must really be quite cognizant of the fact that they’ve done SFA for the last +7 years and are now taking every opportunity to show their mugs on TV … it reminded me of Bill Murray’s 2004 Golden Globe’s acceptance speech for best actor in Lost in Translation : 'I would thank the people at Universal and Focus, except there's so many people trying to take credit for this I wouldn't know where to begin.'

"What’s even funnier is that a friend was getting a sandwich at the Grand Central Deli at about the same time the press conference was going on and mentioned that on his way out the door he noticed that the inaugural bus had just turned up the street in the first ever official arrival …. but was unable to find a bay to park in … they were all taken up by ministers’ cars … this is just too rich …."
