The Colbath’s are missionaries living in Honduras. Their take on wannabe strongman and ex-president Manuel Zelaya is similar to that of a friend of mine reported in returning from a short-term missions trip last month.

And by "novel" we mean "she's completely clueless." The Vogue editor stood up to offer, "Could someone lead a committee that would make ground […]
