The news feed is inexplicably light tonight. Perhaps most of our tipsters are on holiday along the Côte d’Azur…?A member of the Liberal Party in Australia (which is conservative by American standards) got himself in trouble with the party for posting “anti-Islamic” sentiments on Facebook. The party responded by removing him as a candidate for a western Sydney parliamentary seat, replacing him with an immigrant from the Philippines. No Islamophobia allowed in Australia, not even in the Libs!
In other news, it has been revealed that the Conservative Party in the UK received major donations from two Palestinian millionaires who have ties with Libya. Go Tories!

Baron, the ALP is the Australian Labor Party, which are the equivalent of the Dems. The Australian Liberal Party are known as the Libs. :)
Nilk --
Whoops! I stand corrected. Thank you.
