That daughter of yours!
Freshly Squeezed by Ed Stein Gocomics July 28, 2014
Le groupe nominal N + of + yours se rencontre souvent dans les énoncés emphatiques.
Valeurs : reproche (comics ci-dessus), ironie / moquerie (1 et 4), insistance / focalisation (2), dépréciation (3).
1 - My American friends, you know I love your country, how have we come to this? Yes, yes, Bush isn't quite as stupid as he sounds, and heaven knows he can't be as stupid as he looks. I know most of you didn't vote for him anyway, but that is my point. Forgive my presumption, but could it just be that there is something a teeny bit wrong with that famous constitution of yours? Of course this particular election was unusual in being a dead heat. Elections don't usually need a tie-breaker, something equivalent to the toss of a coin. Al Gore's majority in the country, reinforcing his majority in the electoral college but for dead-heated Florida, would have led a just and unbiased supreme court to award him the tie-breaker. So yes, Bush came to power by a kind of coup d'état. But it was a constitutional coup d'état. The system has been asking for trouble for years.

2 - But I bet he has. Reed makes me feel like an amoeba. I want to cry. Look, I was a huge fan of yours, I say. " Was ?" he sneers. I still am, I say, but I'm less sure by the second. I desperately try to stick to the music. Soon after his most commercial album, Transformer, Reed made his least-commercial record, Metal Machine Music, an album of feedback. Some critics said it was his joke on the pop business. Is there any validity in that? "Zero." Is it something he can enjoy? "Well, I can." Which of his songs does he like best? "I don't have a favourite." Favourite album? "I like all of them."
Not
a perfect day:
3 - "Lots of people did documentaries, but I was always interested in comedy," says Merchant. "So I said to Ricky, 'Let's do this sleazy boss character of yours.' He'd never performed it as far as I know. It was like something you do for your mates down the pub." Gervais adds: "It was more of an impression than a formal sketch. But it made Steve laugh."
I want
to see you in my office again:
4 - The other reason, of course, is that the council are New Labour; a bunch of up-themselves show-offs who'd rather hang about with luvvies than deal with the problems of real people. That's why Princess Toni has spent and is spending obscene billions of public money on the dome, while the railways grind to a standstill and hospitals leave war heroes to die on trolleys in corridors. There's no business like showbusiness - and how the government/council chooses to spend your money is certainly no business of yours!

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pall bearers, cardinals and monks took Pope John Paul on one last trip from his palace on Monday, escorting his body to St. Peter's Basilica, the church that was his for 26 years and will be his burial place.

TONY Blair is being pressed to force David Blunkett to choose between his [ adjectif possessif ] job and access to the child he claims is [ verbe be ] his [ pronom possessif ].
Powerful figures close to Mr Blair say the Government may be "contaminated" by claims that the Home Secretary fast-tracked a visa bid by his ex-lover's nanny.
BLUNKETT'S CHOICE: YOUR
CHILD OR YOUR JOB :
But if you cannot avoid fear, at least you can do something to take your mind off it. "You should go canoeing in the Adirondacks [mountain range], if that's what your husband did and what you want to do," Mr Larocchia said. "Because when you turn on the TV, see something, and it's about a friend of yours - you get riveted to it, but it doesn't leave you with a good feeling."
For some it is a day to
grieve, for some a day to dread, for others a day to hide away :
Everyone has a singular talent for something - something they can do that no one else can. Tragically, mine appears to be the ability to fail to track down faded 1980s movie stars.
