News That Demands Attention
These are great stories!
It seems that a newspaper in Romania keeps accusing that country's Prime Minister of being gay. To answer the charge, the Prime Minister has offered to sleep with the wives of the entire newspapaer staff. The Prime Minister's offer is indeed tasteless, and of questionable morality, but you have to love a country where homosexuality is still a scandal. We just had a politician use it as a sympathy play.
In India, if you are delinquent in your taxes there are no audits, fines, interest, or jail. Instead, they send someone to beat a drum outside your home until you pay up. I like this idea, but I have to wonder if in this country it might backfire and start a tax revolt.
