Transpicuous News Feb 22, 2015: Happy Meal Vaccines, Cyclones and the Creepy Veep

Welcome to Transpicuous News on Sunday February 22, 2015.

Between the US calling "Sovereign" citizens Terrorists, McDonalds giving away Vaccines with their Happy Meals, and Biden fondling the new Sec Def's wife on international TV.... you'd think that they'd be the headlining stories of this weeks news report.... but no, sadly, even those distractions were barely enough to take our attention off of the Soap Operas playing out in Europe.  The Ukraine & Greece drama queens were in top form this week, and if that wasn't enough, more spying stories were released about the NSA.... AGAIN!!
