Bad Hair Day
Or: Do hairdressers ever do what you tell them?

The Simpsons’ kind of diplomacy
The Simpsons - Model UN Club
For all those who have always wanted to know what Model United Nations is all about, here’s the Springfield interpretation. I must confess that I’ve never worn a costume quite as funky though…
Foreign aid according to Hugo
Sorry, I just can’t stop. A new mystery has appeared in the beautiful world of Venezuela’s leader, and this is what it looks like:
