The Day Ahead: October 14

Today on the main site:

Comment of the Day:

Reader Francoise on Joseph Harriss's Monsieur Sleaze:

A bit of a additional news on Frederic Mitterrand came from the French island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean... Mitterand sent a letter to a local judge with the letterhead of the French Academy in Rome, prestigious Villa Medicis.

In this letter, he vouches for the good character of that two young alleged rapists (since then condemned) on the French Island of Reunion (he now says for the good character of their parents, but how is that relevant then?) Not only did he write with the official letterhead of the Villa Medicis but he also promised free training and internships in Rome or Paris for those two thugs!

This with taxpayers' money.

What to Watch For:

Tuesday's Best:
