...happy about this visit" - one that begins, she pointed out "on International Human Rights Day". She wasn't the only one to protest Sarkozy's decision to host Gaddafi's first trip to France in 34 years. Former Socialist presidential candidate Ségolène Royal called it "odious, shocking, and even inadmissible", and accused the President of "stomping on traditional French defense of human rights". Royal's centrist rival in the election, François Bayrou, termed the visit "unworthy of France, and unworthy for France." Even French Foreign Affairs Minister Bernard Kouchner could muster little more enthusiasm...
Under my plan, the airlines would modify their caste system, evidently modeled on ancient India's, in which Platinum cardholders board before Gold, who board before Silver and so on, until we odious hunchbacks in straphanger class are allowed to board, trailing our leashed chickens as they peck their way down the aisle...
...from their natural, Aboriginal mothers. These kids, whose only crime was to be Aboriginal, were abducted by the white authorities to be assimilated, as orphans, into white society. The members of this stolen generation were not told their parents' names, and most would never see their mothers again.

So here is my call, not for womanish leniency, but for more manful restrictions on the issuance of visas. As much as I support the concept...
...darker side solely for her unfolding professional life. Yee, conversely, a man known for his animalistic brutality, bares a worn, solitary countenance behind closed doors. These two dichotomous characters unwittingly create a relationship that assumes a dual nature in itself: restrained and unbridled, violent and erotic, lustful and odious. These dualities grow inextricably intertwined through intimacy, portrayed in a series of graphic sex scenes. Though these scenes are clearly responsible for the film’s NC-17 rating, the bedtime power plays expose the relationship’s ability to consume and transform the pair. Unfortunately, the evolution...
