Moving into Number 10

David Cameron is the new Prime Minister of Great Britain, and it has been remarked that he is the youngest person to take that office in 200 years.  However, Cameron is truly middle-aged compared to William Pitt the Younger, who became prime minister in 1783 at the age of 24.  Pitt held the office for 18 years, and was reelected three years later.

Our London correspondent believes Cameron--with Clegg at his side--will do well, but he was pulling for Hugh Grant, remembering how Grant, as prime minister in "Love, Actually," trumped Billy Bob Thornton's U.S. president.

Recalling John Cleese's silly walk, several of us thought the entire Monty Python troupe should have moved into 10 Downing Street.  

The Pythons could have taken turns being P.M. for the day, and in that rotation we would include the late Graham Chapman.  One can have total confidence in post mortal politicians.
