In Memoriam
Fourteen years ago today, more
than 2,000 innocent people were killed in a series of cowardly and cruel
attacks on the United States. Today, we should remember those poor souls whose
lives were snuffed
out so violently.
I think it's safe to say that those responsible for
this abberation stand among the world's biggest bell-ends of all time. To
commit such a heinous crime upon innocent civilians who did nothing to deserve
it is evil, pure and simple.
The Bell-Ends
The following MPs were ordered to pay back wrongful expense
claims. According to IPSA, the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority,

How can we trust people like this to make decisions that
affect our lives? They may cry that what they did was legal - and it may very
well be. But, is it moral to abuse their expenses as they did? I would say not.
These people should not still be in office. They have been
proven morally bankrupt, and should be removed immediately.
