 Just because “everybody does it,” doesn’t make it right, Hillary.

Repulsive: Great Britain has been a cesspool run by pedophiles for decades, and politicians from 10 Downing to New Scotland Yard and beyond have knowingly covered it up (when they weren't participants). The cynicism and disdain for decency shown by PMs from Thatcher to Cameron is stunning. 
 
None Dare Call It Reason: Mitch McConnell (R- Coal) is urging Republican governors to refuse to implement the administration's regulations aimed at slowing global warming.

Cart/Horse: India wants a global ban on a documentary detailing gang rape in the country. Maybe first they should ban gang rape.

Sanctimony: President Obama has declared that Venezuela, by having all that oil and refusing to let the US overthrow the elected government, is a threat to the national security of US corporate profits. A White House spokesman noted that “Venezuela’s problems cannot be solved by criminalizing dissent, even though ours are.” 
 
Behind The Throne: 47 Republican senators have sent a letter to Iran explaining that their current negotiations with that black fellow in the White House are meaningless because Israel has already vetoed any treaty. Any.

Pariah: The Vice President of the German Parliament, having said aloud what we all pretend not to know – namely that the Saudis are behind most of the non-Israeli terror groups in the Middle East – has been told to go sit in the corner.

Noted: Being a Christian is a choice, being gay is not. God made the gays. Christians, not so much.

Minimum Wage: Vladimir Putin has lowered the penalties for bribing public officials in Russia, simultaneously doubling the standard amounts for various official permissions and paperwork, in lieu of a pay raise or even regular paychecks, which Russia can no longer afford.

Piece Feeler: Avigdor Liberman, Israel's Foreign Minister, says that Arabs living in Israel who are not loyal to the state “deserve to have their heads chopped off with an axe,” as part of the Final Solution.

Ignorance Is Our Excuse: Under Republican Governor Rick Scott, employees of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection have been prohibited from using the terms “climate change” “sustainability” “global warming” or “sea-level-rise”. They could refer to “nuisance flooding” of up to six fee in places like Miami that voted Democratic.

Wehrmacht 2.0: EU Commission President Jean-Claude 'Herr Feldmarschall' Juncker wants an EU army “to restore Germany's the bloc's standing in the world.” And do debt collection as required.

Foundless Fathers: Texas Republicans want every county, city, town and hamlet to get the state Attorney General's permission before enacting any legislation that... well, any legislation. Any. In Texas, big government is a Republican thing.

Winners: Excluding the fracking business, employment in few US industries has risen to pre-recession levels. Except services. The US economy is becoming dominated by servants tending to the whims of the 10% at the top of the heap.

Leadership: Lindsey Graham, a member of the Senate Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law is proud to have never sent an email. He just wants to set the rules for those of us who do.

The New Math: The Texas State cops (Department of Public Safety) has revised the value of drugs seized from $161 million to $1.8 billion. What those boys be smokin?

Porn O'Graph: Snow job.
