HEADLINES FROM THE WORLD PRESS

I should hope so, the poor man must be exhausted.
Norway, Aftenposten: “Happy Meal Toys Hurt Hearing”
Big deal, you should see what the happy meal does to the stomach.

I don’t mind a few MPs fornicating with one another, it’s when they do it to citizens that bothers me.
