"It's equally if not more concerning that we're seeing another 'Merkel Effect,' where an elected official does not care at all that the rights of millions of ordinary citizens are violated by our spies, but suddenly it's a scandal when a politician finds out the same thing happens to them."

Get the meril mug.n: 1. An incomparable example of a woman imbued with mental brilliance melded with emotional depth. Merrilee can also have a devastatingly sexual impact, gifted as she is with an understated beauty that tends to sneak up her intended victim and then walloping him or her with a giant club of "I Want You". Recipients are usually left helpless to resist. 2. A witty, keenly perceptive person. 3. A woman possessed of second sight abilities frequently used to assist her associates. 4. A woman able to do 10 things at once, Merrilee is truly a whirwind of "get out of the way or get mowed over" efficiency. No one can run a home like a Merrilee. 5. A supremely desirable woman either as housemate or sex kitten. adj: 1. sexually desirable or horny 2. psychic 3. capable
adj 1. I'm so Merrilee right now. 2. I was totally Merrilee'd and foresaw the whole thing. 3. If you want it done, you have to get Merrilee about it!
