There's a Hole in the Memory Hole

Much fuss and bother today about Churchill's picture being erased from a Google search for "UK Prime Ministers".

Just a technical glitch, Google assure us. Now Winnie is back again, PM 1951-55...

'How many fingers, Winston?'
'Four! Stop it, stop it! How can you go on? Four! Four!'
'How many fingers, Winston?'

where everyone's an expert - but also a butthead
it is my belief that your generation will forge a new path
marked by truth and kindness and love

Stirring stuff, and the whole is a gem. Gratitude to Ace of Spades HQ for this trouvaille.
