Each co-ruler can appoint a “personal representative,” so that French Prime Minister Édouarde Philippe can delegate and not spend all his time worrying about Andorra.

You Americans are going to completely fuck up this election, aren’t you?

Or, you know, in 1942 nobody gave a name like Dick Pound a second thought.

Here’s a bit of good news: the government of Canada is going to ban conversion therapy.

It’s not that surprising.  As the article says, the US Army has several bases named after Confederates.  Also, the US Navy used to have ballistic missile submarines named after Robert E.
