Thanks to "Citizen Kate" for sending us her video reports out of Indiana. Clinton rally? Comedy? Clearly. Comedian Kate is pretty funny- Seems to be thrown out of a lot of places, nice to see Veracifier columnist Mike Gravel help her out. Keep up the good work Kate!
Part of the inspiration for Latin America's concept of magical realism was the screwed up governments that existed in the places where that genre was written. If the president told you life was great, you knew life was terrible; if they told you a handful of people died from a minor disaster, you had to ask how big the hand was, and believe the disaster was beyond comprehension.
In Burma, we're...
Racists and race baiters in the Democratic Party are now the only thing keeping the nomination from Barack Obama. The way Hillary and her minions stoked the Jeremiah Wright controversy will go down as one of the most successful racist appeals in political history---- right up with Willie Horton. I expect racist campaigns from Republicans but seeing race baiting succeed with Democratic voters...

Time for a new sign on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge from Brooklyn to Staten Island: Beware red-light running, possibly drunken congressmen in the area.
Seriously, ever since Rep. Bill Janklow of South Dakota accidentally killed one of his handful of constituents in his big white Caddie in 2003, you wonder why any congressional chief of staff in his or her right mind would let a Membere of...
