Yell at me again and I'll snap you like a twig

I always had my suspicions about our great president, but look at this - a file prepared in minute detail for a Q&A session, with dozens of little post-it notes (in two colours - yellow for the top of the file; white for the side) glued in so that he doesn't lose his place. Parliamentary life is far too dangerous to risk spontaneous wit.
