Trump / Toupee 2012

In their infinite wisdom, the editors of the Com-Post (Wellington's newspaper of note) decided to reprint an article from the Washington Post in which several thousand words described the superior negotiating skills that Donald Trump would bring to foreign policy if he became US President, without mentioning even one of his bankruptcies.

Obviously there is little hope for the future of a nation where major media outlets are falling over themselves to provide such obsequious, uncritical tongue-baths to a potential Head of State. I threw the newspaper away and turned on the teevee to watch the non-stop coverage of the Royal Wedding.

I can't believe that you're suggesting that William needs a toupee!

As I type this, there are only four channels on my cable system repeating/re-capping the event. (One of which is BBCAmerica, only to be expected, I s'pose.)

A substantial reduction from yesterday's count of well-after-the-event coverage. Not to mention the actual live coverage.

I will concede that the Battenberg-Windsors have been doing their bit to make male pattern baldness fashionable, so they do have some social utility.
