When I read the charge levied against former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn of aggravated pimping, I literally burst out laughing. It is almost like a joke. Even now, my fingers are filled with laughter, as I type!
Only in France...

Dick Cheney's Brand New Heart
After living for over 71 years without a heart, former Vice President Dick "Tin Man" Cheney finally got his gift from the wizard yesterday: a sopping, beating, blood-filled, human heart. He is finally free of his heart facsimile!

The Terrorist & the Wolf
When an American soldier mows down civilians in a foreign land, it is the duty of the United States government to give him to the people he has offended, in a very meager attempt at atonement.
It doesn't matter what the circumstances were behind it. He acted outside the scope of his mission, and he must pay the price, according to the local laws and customs of the country in which he commits the offence. As many people are aware, being an American doesn't give us carte blanche or a "do-over-card." People died; families were destroyed. If they want to take him to a desolate soccer field and use his head in a game of army-jeep-polo, so be it.
In the words of one my favorite movies, "Feed [him] to the wolves. Let [him] see what they are like."
