Hemlock Today....

Winky checks her watch. “Unlike some people, I have important things to do,” she announces. “In fact I’m on a really big project right now.” She wants me to ask what, but I just nod blankly. “It’s interesting,” she explains. “We’re helping Donald find ways to groom new political talent among our lawmakers.”

My reaction is a spontaneous laugh – as derisive as it is loud. “Winky,” I say, composing myself, “trying to nurture Hong Kong’s future political talent from among members of Legco makes as much sense…” As what? I think for a second. “…as much sense as training up all those unskilled, newly arrived, middle-aged Mainland women to be the next generation of brain surgeons.”

Hahahaha.
