Now, there aren’t any frogs or fuzzy bears, but I think I recognized some Piggy eyes and hair in there.

Pour sa fête, la cour de cassation a fait un joli cadeau au député le moins gai de l'hémicycle : la chambre criminelle de la cour de cassation a cassé sans renvoi, c'est à dire annulé l'arrêt de la chambre des appels correctionnels de Douai le condamnant pour injure envers un groupe de personnes en raison de leur orientation sexuelle (que j'appellerai ci-dessous “injure homophobe” pour économiser de la bande passante). Rappelons que le député ...
