A federal judge has allowed one of those "corrupting" issue advocacy ads to go on the air in time for a federal special election in Hawaii.

It's not Kenny-boy Lay, so it won't please a certian person I know, but you've got another former Enron executive pleading guilty.

Yep, those tolerant, peace-loving Muslims are at it again. Demonstrating their capacity for restraint by killing more than 50 people. Shehu Sani of the Kaduna-based Civil Rights Congress said he watched a crowd stab one young man, then force a tire filled with gasoline around his neck and burn him alive. Sani said he saw […]
