Alexander Litvinenko was buried as he had lived, in a storm. There was rain, hail and a tornado near Highgate Cemetery in north London on the day his lead-lined coffin was lowered into a plot a few yards from that of another dissident who had sought refuge in Britain, Karl Marx. Before the burial, there was a memorial service at a mosque. Several close friends said Litvinenko had converted to Islam a few days before he died, in a kind of atonement for atrocities Russia (and perhaps Litvinenko himself) had committed in Chechnya, although another doubted any conversion...

The molded cups of a Tisha "Dream" bra in size 32DD Tisha "Dream" could serve as attractive fruit bowls, or not-very-protective helmets for a set of twins...
...desired. Although Evans, sporting a short denim skirt, showcased her pair of amazing legs, the other characters—stereotypical farm hicks and caricatures of the stern “American Gothic” couple—made the video seem ridiculous and amateurish even before the cheesy animated tornado showed up. The professionalism improved in the video for 2003s “Suds in the Bucket,” but the fashion faltered—Evans wears a bizarre slip-looking dress that even she can’t pull off. Finally, with the new “Cheatin?...
