I hope Susan Boyle is OK because she is a really, really nice person and I think she will do well.

-Gordon Brown.

Such a relief the British PM can use logic.

  1. Susan Boyle is a really, really nice person.
  2. I think Susan Boyle will do well.
  3. Therefore, I hope Susan Boyle is OK.

Why doesn’t he just hope she’s OK because she’s a person? Or, more pertinently, because he’s a person? Is how well he thinks she’ll do relevant to any of this?

Sorry about the questions, but this comment seemed needlessly infantile. What I would’ve said if I were possessing Gordon Brown:

Susan Boyle gives me wood. She’s the reason I have to wash the sheets after every dream I have. I hope she’s OK.

I feel as though I no longer have any idea of what OK is used to mean.
