I have voted. Huzzah. Let's hope this Parliament outlasts and outperforms the last two.

Heard in class today: Sir Thomas (of Austen's Mansfield Park) "is a good slave owner."

Sorry, what? I didn't know there were such things as 'good' slave owners. Pray tell, what are the criteria for being a 'good' slave owner'.

"He treated Fanny nicely."

Riiiight. Go to hell, classmate mine.
