Your snort worthy Op-Ed from the New York Times. After spending many, many, many paragraphs describing how bad the conflict between Rwanda and Congo has been, including a slight mention of the genocide in Rwanda (but no mention of how many – 850,000 – nor how the United Nations and Clinton looked the other way), […]

Interesting, very interesting The U.S. Supreme Court will consider Friday whether to take up a lawsuit challenging President-elect Barack Obama‘s U.S. citizenship, a continuation of a New Jersey case embraced by some opponents of Obama’s election.

Change you can believe in! An 18-year veteran of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), who advocated for federal legislation to give the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States a path to citizenship, has been tapped for President-elect Barack Obama’s White House staff. Cecilia Muñoz, who currently serves as senior vice […]
