Insert Outraged Headline Here

Friday, March 26th, 2004

I don’t know what else to say. Check out this article:

“President Bush poked fun at his staff, his Democratic challenger and himself Wednesday night at a black-tie dinner where he hobnobbed with the news media.

The One-State Solution

Friday, March 26th, 2004

Wow. What an incredibly fantastic Nation article on Israel/Palestine, the options for peace, the choices to be made, and what’s keeping it all from moving forward.
