I apologize for being completely clueless and I am sure you will forgive and explain. Who is the um “nice lady” on the cover? Margaret Thatcher?

Yes, that’s Margaret Thatcher – and the Conservative Party in Britain is known as the Tory Party – or the Tories. It was just one of those opportunities that fell in my lap.

You know, the more I look at the original image, the less it makes me think of the Iron Lady. You have some weird synaptic shit going on, Rev.

Malach: I’m going to pretend that you really have seen Margaret Thatcher naked.

Pil: It’s not so much that the original woman looks like Margaret Thatcher as the convenient eclipsing of the ‘S’. I fear that familiarity ‘blindness’ may have led you to miss the joke…

Cissy Strutt: Poor Nelson S. Bond and his evil parents.

MI: You’re doing well with your English politics!

King Willy: I think you’re attributing Maggie with the wrong kind of genitalia…
