...told my now fiancé that I liked him (as in, liked him liked him), I drunkenly gave him the Anchorman line, "I want to be on you."

Just because I realize that Asian women are smarter, more attractive, and have about themselves a generally superior level of class does not mean I have a fetish. Just that I'm racist. 8. I eat gummy bears by tearing them limb from limb and eating their heads last. 9. I can't grow hair...
...Global Leader While everyone is describing Obama as our first black President, Andrew Young's comments in your article on civil rights leaders' perspectives were closer to the truth [Jan. 26].

While it needs the Taliban to lose, Moscow doesn't necessarily want NATO to win, as such. Instead, it needs the outcome to strengthen Russia's own strategic position in its former Soviet sphere of influence. The Russians have made no secret of their desire to have a greater...
