        A defence of insanity is raised by the accused where mediocrity is not http://ln.is/celebrated.Here/VA54E … itappears,it is the case of the State.

        Leaving aside the accuracy of the descriptor "a pair of buttocks", when did insanity cease being a defence & become in & of itself a crime?

        Why is the president so triggered? That should pass as a cheap satire (joke)
