The Truth Will Out

By Sniffles

Here's a news flash from the United Kingdom: Michael Fallon, the Conservative government's equivalent of Secretary of Defense, has resigned after admitting a Harvey Weinstein problem.

Well, maybe his behavior wasn't as bad as Weinstein's. (Was anybody's?) The point is, we don't yet know. And whatever he did, he judged it bad enough to warrant quitting — so we assume there are more cats to be let out of the bag on this story.

But get this: In a post-resignation interview with the BBC, Fallon said, "The culture has changed over the years. What might have been acceptable 10, 15 years ago is clearly not acceptable now."

WHUT?!? Ten and 15 years ago was... 2007 and 2002. We're talking 21st century, not the Mad Men era. What kind of world does Fallon live in?

Wait, don't answer that. Because we're afraid that it's somewhere that the apparently enormous percentage of men who misbehave on the job also inhabit. We cats HISS.
