Hey, us LD's will take that 1%! Go Wes!! 😁

It's been like that for 3 years.

A. It was awarded for achievement in the year before he was inaugurated as President again, so he wasn't even eligible to be considered.
B. The Nobel Committee have said that the recipient cannot give it to anyone else. It'll always be Machado's.
Rules, eh? 🤷

I'm more upset by the Mail's use of 'less' rather than 'fewer'!

Getting excited about going to Georgia - it may be 'faded', but the AN there looks to be great!

Do you mean 'political bias'?

Open Democracy, I presume, but for some weird reason, he's too obtuse to answer you directly!

Good weather on the way! Can't wait!

You can keep him, thanks! (He's from where I live)
