...sorry to see Kinsley say President George W. Bush's motives for invading Iraq were "to liberate a country from a dictator, perhaps to find and destroy some dangerous weapons."

Max and his best friend are struck by the affliction that makes Viagra viable, while Elena’s son beds a woman twice his age?...

Say Coulter is crazy. Say that no one thought her comments were appropriate, that no one takes her seriously, and, most importantly, that we don’t take her seriously...
