So much fuckery, so little time

I woke up this bright Australia Day morn with a slight hangover and a crippling stomach ache from some kind of food poisoning the day before. Still, the world moves on and doesn't give me a chance to rest. I have alighted on many snippets of interest today, and will try to compose them as best as I am able.

From the US: 

What kind of rampant dickhole must you be, to be a millionaire campaigning to run the country, but you hideously under-pay maids in your employ. Well I guess you'd have to be the Mitt Romney kind of dickhole.

Bad cop, no free blowjob. The Oakland PD, one of the more well-equipped and psychotically corrupt of the US's police forces, has been officially ordered to comply with anti-corruption monitors's orders. If they weren't such loathsome pricks I might even feel sorry for them.

From Ecuador:

I'm not sure I wrote about it some time ago, I may have, but there was a campaign on by Change.org and Allout.org to put an end to clinics in Ecuador that basically tried to torture lesbianism out of women. Fortunately, a new health minister has stepped in and vowed to shut down every one of these clinics. Sometimes, you get a win. It's rare, but it's good.

From Egypt:

The raw desire for change evidenced by Tahrir Square has been sucked dry by the twin vampires of the military government, who dole out as little change as possible with every riot, and the hardline Islamists who were content to sit back and not get involved, but once Mubarak was deposed have skipped to the head of the queue promising such stirring policies as cutting people's hands off for theft. I think the moral of this story is to keep your religionists out of your revolution. Read more at New Matilda.

From Australia:

With many eyes on the tennis, few could have missed the ravings of Margaret Court and her glassy-eyed tirades against The GayPocalypse. Fortunately that debonair wit Mike Stuchbery has translated the incomprehensible zealotry of old Margie into something resembling rational thought conveyed in actual English. Read his stunningly accurate translation here.
