Europeans Appeasing Putin Is Penny-Wise, Pound-Foolish
The title of this post says it all. What’s more, I’ve denounced this European appeasement in numerous commentaries. But I summarized my denunciation and presaged what this appeasement portends in “Checkmated on Crimea, Obama Plays for Rest of Ukraine” on March 7, 2014. Europeans appeasing Putin Now comes another case of European appeasement. Germany is refusing to join… Read more.

Regular readers know that I’ve been unsparing in my criticism of Prince Albert II of Monaco – not only for living a notoriously promiscuous lifestyle, but also for fathering children (2 that we know of) out of wedlock.

Masako Owada, Japan’s Princess Di, a Royal Disappointment
Royalty Royalty is an absurd anachronism. It’s an ostentatious affront to the universal declaration that all people are created equal. Yet millions of people remain loyal to this imperial vestige of national governance. Mind you, many royals seem incapable of conforming their behavior to the standards of common decency, to say nothing of royal etiquette. But their behavior… Read more.
Prince Albert Denies Birthright of His Black Son!
Two months ago, I published a commentary condemning Prince Albert II of Monaco. I blasted him for refusing even to acknowledge the child he fathered with his Black mistress. Albert acknowledges Black son Well, his mistress has finally forced Albert to reveal his dark secret. Lo and behold, he is the father. Monaco should be celebrating. Albert’s acknowledgment should signal, at… Read more.
Monaco’s (and Europe’s) First Black Prince?
Prince Albert II of Monaco is a confirmed bachelor. His skirt-chasing street cred rivals Warren Beatty’s. That is until Annette Benning domesticated a 55-year-old Beatty. And he was still virile. Because, instead of skirts, he’s chasing kids – four of them. Monaco’s first Black Prince Unlike Beatty, however, Albert has been carefree about planting his seed in… Read more.
