Fake News Scoops Real News

December 6th, 2009 · Comments Off

By today’s standards, a cull of Australians or Americans would be [...]

Hank Johnson On Racism

September 28th, 2009 · 1 Comment

South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson announced “You lie” to President Obama during Obama’s recent address on his healthcare proposals.
