Security realpolitik,
Involves many an underhand trick,
But I still can’t see why,
An American spy,
Needs to download a pic of your dick.

Tawaraya noodle shop in Kyoto serves an udon noodle dish that contains one long thick noodle.
In 2012, Rocketnews24’s food critic Kuzo wote of the hefty treat:
Picking it up in my chopsticks, I also noticed it was incredibly firm. I imagine these noodles are boiled this way intentionally to keep them from becoming too soft and falling apart. I lifted the noodle out of the soup and found that I could bring it over my head without the other end leaving the bowl!
Nice.

An online David paper.
We’re They’re calling it the Daily McDreamy.
“I have decided to write a daily update on how I manage my money day to day, what I watch, who I listen to and how, after absorbing all this, I act. The note is for your information as a supporter who has been reading my writing for years. It is not advice; rather it explains my thought process.
The reason I spend time thinking about how money works, is not to be a rich person but to be a sovereign and independent individual who can look after himself and his family. For me, this is very important and, as traditional employment and traditional pension schemes become more and more unreliable, I believe all of us have to rely on ourselves that bit more.
Relying on yourself, means taking time to figure stuff out for yourself rather than leaving it to so-called experts.
The daily note called Global Macro 360° will be a morning newsletter published before lunch, detailing what is going on every day in the global economy and where there may be opportunities….Should you decide to subscribe, you will get the first weeks’ subscriptions free and you can see what you think of it. Thereafter, the note, the information and all the ideas will set you back less than the price of three pints a week…”David McWilliams, In an email to his website subscribers.
Sounds equitable.

The issue had been raised in the Dáil yesterday by Fianna Fáil TD John McGuinness who said a female member of An Garda had contacted him about the issue. The Carlow-Kilkenny TD said the confidential recipient Oliver Connolly told her “the last man who used the service was now washing cars in Navan”.Mr Shatter said however the only knowledge he had of the issue was what Mr McGuinness said yesterday and on RTÉ radio this morning. “I don’t have knowledge of the conversations the confidential recipient has with members of An Garda Síochána, ” he told Fianna Fáil justice spokesman Niall Collins.

“I find the whole thing a complete mystery, I have absolutely no idea what Mr. Connolly was thinking.
“To be quite frank with you, I’m utterly astonished at some of the commentary that has now come into the public arena. I don’t understand why he conducted himself in that way.”
