It is certainly a day for things and people being shown in a different light.
The Sunday Times reckons that the Audit Commission - which monitors how other people spend public funds - apparently paid nearly £60,000 to lobbyists with links to Labour for advice on how to undermine Tory frontbenchers who challenged its activities.
Meanwhile, the Press Association says that Professor Sir Ian Kennedy, the chairman of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority which will control MPs expenses in future put in a £16,000 bill for taxi fares. (Interestingly, the Independent on Sunday claim the same story as an exclusive).
Not to be outdone, the Sunday Telegraph reports claims that an important environmental work by the UN Climate Change Panel about ice loss from the world's highest peaks is based on a student's dissertation and an article in a mountaineering magazine.
But despite all the disillusionment, the best story of the day is the one about the guy who got fined for blowing his nose - if it's true, that is.

Blackie seems really upset about Ian Kennedy claiming £16K in taxi fares. Devotes an entire post to how it is simply disgraceful. No comment from him though about the God knows how much cash wasted following Swansea's Lib Dem complaints to the Ombudsman.
