Kim says he followed legal procedures. A judge cancelled the warrant for lack of evidence and closed the case...
Dubyaman, or the “knickered knacker,” is the title of the infamous comic strip of the Times of India, now the world’s largest-selling English daily. The comic strip—a take on the way Texans pronounce “W” as “Dubya”—mocks President George W. Bush, who plays the role of Dubyaman, with special Dubya-powers like Dubyavision and Dubya pronunciation. Dubyaman is a commentary of Indian political affairs, but more than anything else, takes delightful digs at Bush?...
