"Oh, yes - with sprinkles!"

Sweepstakes!
John McCain seems never to tire of insulting Americans' intelligence. He's now proposing a $300 million prize ($1 for every human being in the country - cute until you realize it's taxpayer money) for whomever can develop an automobile...more »

Catch-22.
Five years is apparently the length of the 21st-century American when it comes to wars. Over $547 billion spent (as of this post). Over 4,100 United States servicemen and servicewomen dead. Many, many more Iraqi citizens dead. Tens of...more »

Darfur's tears.
In Darfur, it can be said that those caught in the crossfire of the current crisis lost their innocence a long time ago. But a new problem is coming to light - the systematic rape of women and children:...more »

Michelle's moment.
I've said before that I never cease to be amazed at how frightened America can be of an angry Black man. That statement, as it turns out, was incomplete. Despite her husband's insistence that spouses should not be fair...more »
