Yep! Maybe we should name our era:
Avant Gored!
Or... we can attach a French sounding Impressionist Era name like:
Pisscanteau

My favourite indulgence story is the 16th century german monk who was the Pope’s agent for raising revenue by selling indulgences. He sold some indulgences to a German Duke for past sins. The Duke then asked him if he could purchase indulgences for sins not yet committed. “of course”, replied the monk, whereupon the Duke killed the monk.

“As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs.”
— advertising jingle of Johann Tetzel, German Dominican Preacher and retail seller of indulgences (1465 1519).
Tetzel even went as far as creating a chart that listed a price for each type of sin and claiming that the indulgences he sold could save a soul who violated the Virgin Mary.
In 1517, Tetzel was trying to raise money for the ongoing construction of St. Peter’s Basilica and it is believed that Martin Luther was inspired to write his Ninety-Five Theses, in part, due to Tetzel’s actions during this period of time.

it's the most monumentally corrupt and ineffective political body since the court of Louis XVI.Not a particularly good example. He was actually a hard-working, honest and well-intentioned king.
Louis XV would make a much more accurate point.

"Its oil-for-food program ensured Saddam Hussein and his psychopathic spawn never ran short of high-performance automobiles or fresh porn during the international embargo against Iraqi oil."
To this I would add that funds from the Oil For Food scam probably paid the trip expenses for three American Congressmen in a last minute trip to Iraq it seems the guy who paid for their trip was personally paid (for his servicing) with Iraqi oil.
What did the U.N. Secretary General know and when? .^
