US Attacked: National Guard Routed How utterly disgusting. If this was a diversion, as one scenario suggests, we can only hope that something even more dangerous wasn’t smuggled in.

 Food fanatics impossible to satirize I have had satirical comments about the evils of cheese and butter at the bottomn of each day’s postings here for some time now.

Mary, ‘Palestinian refugee’ When it comes to the politicization of the Christmas story, I thought I had seen it all.
