Assustem-se!

Fechem os olhos e imaginem o sr. José Raul dos Santos, ilustre autarca de Ourique, Ministro da Administração Interna.

Ou o sr. Pedro Pinto Ministro das Obras Públicas. Ou ainda o dr. Luís Filipe Menezes Ministro da Saúde...

É ou não é assustador? Pior mesmo só a D. Ana Gomes Ministra seja do que for!
"In North America the black bear was seen by [Samuel] Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
