Still pounding my head on the desk

From yesterday, for the record:

いつから北朝鮮になった」=自民幹事長発言を批判-国民新・亀井氏
時事通信

社民党の福島瑞穂党首も会見で「日本は『ハイル・ヒトラー』の世界ではない」と指摘...

At a press conference, Social Democratic Party leader Fukushima Mizuho declared, "Japan is not the world of 'Heil Hitler!'"
Even after a day, I am still awestruck at the multiplicity of absurdities and ironies nested inside this brief utterance.

(Yes, I know I translated sekai as "country" yesterday and "world" today. Both translations are permissible, given the context)
