North Korean President Kim Jong-Il is a temperamental and insecure man. Only this explains his habit of making nuclear threats from time to time. Whenever he does, he commands the international attention he craves so pathologically and extorts the aid his people need so desperately… This explains why he’s s jealous of the way the international… Read more.
Almost a year ago, riots by disaffected and unassimilated black and Muslim youths in France disabused many Europeans of the rosy scenario they harbored about racism in Europe. And, not surprisingly, many white Americans expressed unbridled schadenfreude that these Europeans – who routinely criticized the epidemic of racism in America – were now being singed… Read more.
…anyone who is even contemplating a sexual assault against a child, understand that your life will be ruined. [Rep. Mark Foley announcing the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 just months ago] In a desperate attempt to compete with the trash cable news channels put out 24/7, news divisions at the major… Read more.
