Well, this is interesting. Swiss have jacked a truckload of high up sports muckity-mucks and are (in the process of?) throwing them to the US to get hit with a book (and apparently some of the euro countries are getting in on the game, too). Apparently FIFA is incredibly corrupt and finally getting caught at it? I don't pay even the most remote of attention to sports, so I had no idea at all (though surprised, I am not), but here it is. And it seems like there's going to be a lot of money involved in the shenanigans related to this.

Also damn, sq. That guy looks like a cannibal toad. Is he gonna' eats jarjar?

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Snip.

I can't shake the feeling that if this guy mentions consuming smaller neighbours he'll mean it entirely literally.

They're still not our friends.
Be careful with that second-to-last word.

A little corrupt? Sure, in the same way that starting Operation Barbarossa was a slightly ill-advised decision.

At this degree, might not be her fault. Some people just have a fucked up metabolism of fat and they just keep blobbing without mainlining lard. Can get pretty awful; Ann Wilson (from Heart) would starve herself for days just to maintain a presentable appearance.

Excess weight is a first-world epidemic that is becoming more and more prevalent. I don't think that blaming the sufferers is the answer when a big factor in it is the lifestyle that in no small measure is forced upon them (by the economy. workhours, etc..).
If the problem wasn't "real" or was just a matter of willpower, there wouldn't be so much research allocated to it, and/or so many concerns about it's consequences.

That's certainly one way to train your body to always keep fat reserves handy.

Perhaps - I'm not saying it helps in the long run (in fact, there's some quite interesting research about effect of starvation in mothers on children - their epigenetics are way fucked, and obesity is in fact one of the problems encountered by the children), but the fact that she resorted to that to look normal - not fashion model-tier Thank Ms Skeltal look - already says a whole lot.

Maggie de Block is NOT a nice person. She became the most popular politicians in Belgium as immigration ministers by basically taking the most hardline stance possible on immigration.

Oh dear lord. I've been looking into our politics more and more and it's feeling more and more like the UK's (England's, especially) politicians are operating under a 'Fuck you, got mine!' system.
