Portable Cash Machine

On the day Donald Trump joked about having Hillary Clinton shot (and let's be honest, that is what he was joking about), his favourite TV News Channel was reporting a speed camera design that is allegedly bullet-proof.  Here is the Fox News story.

And here is our own Sunday Times article that they nicked it from. (but since they are both owned by Rupert Murdoch I don't suppose it really matters)

And here is the offending device:

It looks a bit like one of those generators you see towed behind trucks that come along to dig up the road:

Especially when you hear that the camera has wheels that are retracted when in situ for security purposes.

And this generator is painted yellow which is what the camera would have to be if used in the UK.

But I can't help thinking that this inconvenience could be easily fixed with a bit of duck-tape.

And so could the speed-camera.

(White) Household Name?

Spitting Image used to joke that Ronald Reagan had a very poor memory.

They implied that he renamed his staff according to their jobs to make it easier for him.

This had a lot to do with the fact that his Press Secretary who gave announcements to the press...

...was called Larry Speakes.

Obviously just a silly joke.

Today's car story is from Fox News and concerns this man who is selling this Oldsmobile Cutlass that used to belong to Hillary Clinton.

He worked as a gardener in the White House for nearly 30 years.  His name is Mike Lawn. He bought the car for his daughter at a White House auction.  But she wasn't that keen on it because she thought it was an "old lady's car."

I suppose the clue is in the name - Oldsmobile.

Although here is Kristen Stewart in one - in a movie named "Cutlass":

 

And I haven't a clue who this lady is with a Cutlass but she doesn't look very old either:
