*pounces on "Confound their politics"* (I have no idea what the context was where you got it from, but where I know it from is an odd bit of early Canadian Mounted Police history - it was sung to the tune of God Save the Queen by the very first group of Mounted Police, who got recruited in Quebec and sent off on a woefully under-prepared wagon-train-type expedition to the Pacific coast. Somehow they all wound up surviving, so I consider it rather a lucky song. XD "Confound their politics, frustrate their knavish tricks, get us out of this bloody fix - God save all here!" Also fun to hum under your breath and sound way less dissatisfied with your situation than you are. ;P)

*also hugs on principle* :-)
