At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

A really lovely discovery amongst the new wines just arrived in ALDI for Spring/Summer. Bulgarian pink, very dry with raspberry and red currant fruit - from the Greek end of the Thracian Valley and, not surprisingly delicious with a Greek salad. A mere €8.99!
