5. One Pound?!

Yup, I checked the link. It says 1 pound. I'd have paid at least 5.

It would be fun to say that you have a controlling interest in a newspaper in a large metropolitan city like London.

6. Well, he knows how to lie and cheat

and that got him in position to steal the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief job. So, that's something. I suppose. It certainly counts bigly among republicans, who have embraced the lies and the treason as their own.
