Charles Krauthammer on McCain's Anger

"[John McCain] was in an airplane where people were shooting at him, and he was hit, and shot down and in a POW camp for 5 years. I would think that would make someone testy."

The Irony of Teachers' Support for Obama

I suppose it's in the best interests of teachers to support Barack Obama for President. The reason is that, especially for teachers of English, they won't have to teach it good.

When Activists Collide - What is Europe Coming To?

Free speech in France? I think not. It's interesting that this happens in a country which produced some of the more free-thinking philosophers of all time. Would they have voiced their ideas in this kind of situation?

We'll have to remember this, the next time France criticizes America.


E! News - Brigitte Bardot Still Hot in French Court:
"French prosecutors have charged the 73-year-old actress and animal-rights activist with inciting racial hatred for a letter she penned in 2004 to France's then Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy complaining about the Muslim festival of Eid-al-Kabir, which traditionally calls for a sheep to be slaughtered.

In the letter, which was later published in the quarterly journal belonging to Bardot's eponymous animal-welfare foundation, the ...And God Created Woman star attributed France's perceived decline to its growing Muslim population.

'I am fed up with being under the thumb of this population which is destroying us, destroying our country and imposing its acts,' Bardot wrote.

The activist group Movement Against Racism and for Friendship between Peoples, or MRAP, filed suit against her last year."
