After his successful performance at last week’s White House Correspondent’s Dinner, President Obama has decided to sharpen his comedic chops and try his hand at insult comedy. Which is pretty weird of him.

In Afghanistan – bribes are a way of life.
According to the UN survey, 59% of Afghans said their daily experience of public dishonesty was a bigger concern than insecurity (54%) or unemployment (52%).
In 56% of cases, the request for illicit payment was an explicit demand by the bribe-taker, it said.
In three out of four cases, bribes were paid in cash.
Around one in four Afghans surveyed had to pay at least one bribe to police and local officials during the survey period while between 10 and 20% had to pay bribes either to judges, prosecutors or members of the government.
“The Afghans say that it is impossible to obtain a public service without paying a bribe,” said Mr Costa.
“Bribery is a crippling tax on people who are already among the world’s poorest,” he added.
