Boris Johnson is being roundly criticized for calling Muslim women in burkas 'letterboxes'. I thought it was pretty funny.

In fact, I agree with Rowan Atkinson: 'All jokes about religion cause offence, so it's pointless apologising for them. You should really only apologise for a bad joke. On that basis, no apology is required.'

Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry is docking his family’s new $7 million yacht in neighboring Rhode Island, allowing him to avoid paying roughly $500,000 in taxes to the cash-strapped Bay State.

I always thought wealth inequality was about the 1% being constantly thrown help and gifts from lawmakers while the rest of us can just f*cking drown because we can't buy our way out of mistakes.

If that's actually the case, "wealth inequality" is a right shitty term for it then.

There is no part of anything we can't turn to bullshit, why should the name and substance of this problem be different?

Later, a controller discusses getting a pilot on the radio to help the man control the aircraft.
"Nah, I mean, I don't need that much help. I've played some video games before," the man responds.
Also, there was this exchange:
"Congratulations," an air traffic controller says, "you did that, now let's try to land that airplane safely and not hurt anybody on the ground."

I think it's bad when anyone person does it and thought the article was an interesting explanation of the tax dodges, as well as the way the rich get out of standard US employment laws as well, but... okay...
