Yup… It’s a slow news day at the CILISOS office.

So we at the CILISOS office the other day were just thinking of doing sort of a follow up to the piece on angriest politicians story that we did a while back. So we sent the intern to Google Images to look for some of the most adorable pictures of politicians. As we went along, what we ended up doing though was a littleeee different from what we initially had in mind.

Disclaimer: We aren’t in any way saying that politicians remain unaccountable for their actions, whether right or wrong. We’re just saying that no matter how we see them, they’re still human like the rest of us, and it’s important to remember that, good or bad.
