January 15 (TJILC #3)
Let's face it, we're all upset about someone who's been in the news a lot lately. The things he's said, the things he's done... I for one am really outraged. But I can say one thing for him at least: he's a big enough man to take responsibility. Courtesy of This Just In, here's live coverage of Ambassador Shran's public apology.

Hey, thanks, Shran - you made my day! At least someone's taking responsibility for their statements. (In Sweden, apologizing in Shran's fashion is known as 'doing a poodle', which leads me to entirely different conclusions.) Also: thanks, Zeke, for conveying Shran's apologetic address!

Hey, congrats, Gatac! I guess your age would make me feel... ancient, but I can't get myself into that state of mind.
Mudshark: 'Doing a poodle' probably originated with a Swedish politician three years ago. He is best known for withdrawing double salaries and replacing our murdered Minister of Foreign Affairs. He behaved much like a subdued poodle - sprawled on his back and admitted his wrongs. Nowadays, there are full and partial poodles. Don't ask me what the partial ones look like.

My mind is so depraved. I'll never be able to look at an IDIC again.
