Good Morning Duckies… Happy April Fool’s Day. Here are some stories which we didn’t make up just for this day…:

• Nicholas Sarkozy will soon be an employee of Qatar.
• The four year long battle for the Euro is not over.
• The top US adviser in Afghanistan is a former kebab restaurant owner from Nebraska.
• The $37 billion Little Crappy Ship (a.k.a. “The Klingon Bird of Prey”) is not survivable in combat.
• The Indian Air Force loses one fighter squadron every two years due to crashes.  (Umm… maybe try better flying lessons?)
• If newspapers still exist in a few years, they might be delivered by drones.
• Pakistan is making its own version of Glee.  Will they make it to nationals?

And also:

• Westeros is apparently not an escapist utopia.
