Ain’t no cure for these hangover blues

THE Hangover II sounds like a stinker. Most of the reviews for the movie are suggesting they shouldn’t have bothered with the sequel. Having seen the original, I think they shouldn’t have bothered with that either — but it was a huge box office hit.

At the upper echelons of government, they’re not too worried about The Hangover II, as they are struggling through a major hangover of their own.

The big one, the real mother of all thumping headaches, churning up the entrails of the administration, is the comedown from a national party that went on for at least 15 years. There ain’t no cure for these particular hangover blues and plenty of the pain began manifesting itself last week.
