A government body dat likes to do a lot of finger-wagging and tongue-clucking at the people under its jurisdiction.
I resent having Big Brother try to tell me what's best for me, anyway, but what really broils my pudding is when an admonistration hypocritically "talks out of both sides of its mouth" (i.e., says one thing but does another)... a classic example is where they loudly decry the practice of couples' cohabitating without a wedding band, yet they charge people more in income-taxes if they get married.
