...priceless understatement, a recent commission report on the practice concluded that the experience of being torn limb from limb by a pack of hounds "seriously compromises the welfare of the fox." But as the spirited parliamentary debate revealed, this principle is as slippery as a wet fox in a rabbit hole...
...Presidential" is an elusive quality that is much in the eye of the beholder. Like pornography, you know it when you see it. Jimmy Carter, whatever his earnest virtues, was seen to be, on the whole, unpresidential - he never recovered from the killer rabbit and the time he collapsed while jogging in the Catoctin Mountains; on the other hand, Carter is splendidly ex-presidential, a category he invented...
