Blind date? Carrying 25 man on him? Gangster boss? There has to be more to the story than the article says.

The Saudi "peace" plans would spell suicide for Israel... which is, of course, their purpose.

I know a slow weekend when I see one. Obviously they needed to fill up column space.
When the Dear Leader dies, there is no way in the world his cronies will announce that. They´d rather present an animated manequin, until they have properly groomed a replacement.

"Evil" is in the eye of the beholder. If you like to live under Shariah or Shariah-inspired laws, go for it. Hey, if you like polygamy, wife-beating, and instant divorce, you´ll enjoy it.

If you have not noticed, they have second-hand shops for all sorts of tickets (trains, movie, Disneyland, whatever) all over in Tokyo. That would not have been a problem.
The woman should have thanked her luck she got away with it once. But trying the same again 2 hours later was simply dumb.

While the press is turning over every pebble in Alaska to find some dirt on Palin, it is totally disinterested in Obamas friends and connections.
We hear anything about the vote-stealing ACORN, which he promises a voice in policy shaping? Nope. Rashid Khalidi (A Hyde Park neighbor of Obama and the co-founder of the Arab American Action Network, which calls the establishment of Israel a "catastrophe", Khalidi is a former spokesman for the PLO, served on the Woods Foundation with Barack Obama, and has raised funds for him)?? The authoring of his books by Bill Ayers, who still supports the revolution? Nope, nix, nada.

We have one, an older version. I don´t know why the article calls it a "minivan"... there is nothing mini about it. It is larger than normal station wagon and seats 7. Good car though, has never given us any trouble.

Both the political left and right in the West are ignoring the real problem. While they keep going at each other (like here), political islam works steadily, determinedly, and uncompromisingly towards its long-term goal. It is quite bizarre to watch this self-flagellation.

Totally, absolutely irrelevant. They killed one Jihadist leader, and another one takes his place. Until they start addressing the Jihad, nothing will change. But increasingly it looks as if they never will, so in the end.... sayonara, Western Civilization. Nothing lasts forever.
