...Kaufman is correct in pointing out that the first people to receive my scorn are the Bisexual, Gay and Lesbian Student Association (BGLSA), not because they are any worse than the others, but merely because "B" precedes most of the other letters in the alphabet. I shall never apologize for writing that this group is manifestly opposed to traditional Christian values. "Christian values according to whom?" According to the revealed word of God, Josh.

An alphabet soup of rival Kurds locked in a cynical game of cooperation and betrayal want independence but fight each other more ferociously than anyone else.
