Best of the Web points out this lovely line from a

England fans will be allowed to smoke dope before Sunday's crunch clash with France--to keep them calm.
Cops in Lisbon plan to crack down on drunk supporters while turning a blind eye to those spotted puffing on a spliff.
Pot-smoking fans have been assured they will not be arrested, cautioned--or even have their drugs confiscated.

This could only happen in Europe,
right? I mean, the guy's a disgusting pro-Nazi revisionist, but when did fabricating unpleasant history become an imprisonment-worthy offence? And if France is going to start locking up revisionists, will they even have any journalists left?
Russian President Putin opposed the war before invasion and continues to oppose it now. But at least the man's real-politik sense allows him to
