Let me clarify:
You don't mash bangers, you mash potatoes, and have them with bangers, and it's called bangers and mash, although I prefer bangers and chips, with enough salt to kill a dozen cardiac victims. > The US has a president, and a vocal minority of the opposition party are > convinced he is the Second Coming of Hitler (literally), having recently > been thawed out from his orbital cryogenic womb.

Well, not much worse. Surely.
