Politics
For what it's worth, I am extremely sorry to hear about of the resignation of Ilkka Kanerva, Secretary of State (Minister of Foreign Affairs) of Finland. He is the best thing that has happened to Finnish foreign politics in years and years. I, for one, did not see that coming when he started. This one is not an April Fool, either, although I hoped it was when I first heard the news.
(The background to this is that the Secretary sent flirtatous text messages to a woman who sought attention and sold the messages to a magazine. Before this, the press had a field day for about two weeks, making Salem's witch hunt seem like a walk in the park. I can't recall a similar determined manhunt from any recent time. The way the Prime Minister's ex-girlfriend went public with a billion magazine interviews after the breakup was almost tasteful by comparison.)
