Somebody directed me to a newspaper article in his/her local press, but I got the URL through shout, and the story identifier was parsed incorrectly, so I wound up on another story a couple orders of magnitude away.
Short version: Newspaper story link screwed in shout, so I'm looking at the wrong story.
But the story was about a public official involved in corruption revolving around a trip to Russia.
What made me laugh was the advertising the "smart page content generator" placed on the page with the newspaper story. I'll try to paste it in here below:
It seemed to me to say (in a carnival barker's voice), "Now, you, too can involve yourself in Russian corruption, just like your public officials! Click here now! Girls! Live Girls!"
If this were a mumm, I could ask you to tell me whether I'm wrong, but I've decided not to parse hairs. That's been done for me.
So, this seemed like a Horseman's story, since the horseman is probably acquainted with the young lady. *sigh* I still can't get that punch line right.
And I'd hate Mel today, but I just can't bring myself to do it since we haven't spoken lately.
That is all. Please return to your seats and do not touch the railings.
