Therefore, it seems fitting that I should end the week with this update on another political scandal. This one stems from the arrest in November of… Read more.
Schwarzenegger’s Lovechild Bombshell
If these politicians were not lead vocals in a chorus of moral crusaders, I would not give their sexual escapades a moment’s thought. For the unadulterated pleasure of afflicting these hypocrites, however, I don’t even mind being bedfellows with a publicity-seeking hustler like Larry Flynt. (D.C. Madam outs Sen.

South Africa ‘Betraying Its [ANC] Values’
I am acutely mindful that my commentaries on the growing pains of countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are taking on the specter of flogging a dead horse. This is why I am loath to write yet another one on the following regressive phenomenon that is now unfolding there: African leaders once personified unbridled despotism. Now they’re… Read more.
Newt Gingrich for President?!
…this dead-beat dad, draft dodger, check kiter, book-sale scammer, embezzler, thrice-married serial adulterer? (Gingrich takes political hypocrisy and chutzpa to new level, The iPINIONS Journal, March 10, 2011) Yes, Newt Gingrich threw his hat into the ring yesterday.
