Dennis Markuze (aka David Mabus)

• FEATURED: Dennis Markuze/David Mabus ^[pictured] affair finally makes the (French-Canadian) papers. (Online translation here.) Includes stereotypically obtuse mother refusing to believe her precious little urchin might be the deranged fucknut everyone else knows he is.

• ALSO: More coverage! Jen at Blag Hag presents other reports as the movement to nullify the Mabus threat escalates. Includes predictable police insouciance.

• Cop who brutally beat a man with a flashlight during a 2009 traffic stop now suing woman who videotaped the event.

• Chilean President Sebastian Pinera proposes same-sex civil unions whilst opposing same-sex marriage. Baby steps and all that.
  (via Joe. My. God.)

• Onion brilliance: “New GOP Strategy Involves Reelecting Obama, Making His Life Even More Miserable”
  (via Political Irony)
