"rabidly power hungry and out of touch with reality."

Sorry, still don't see how that applies only to Hillary and not to the rest of them.

I must admit I don't understand this delegates thing. What's this block Americans seem to have against simply counting the votes?

And after reading all the hullaballoo about 'he picked up this colour vote' and 'she picked up that gender vote', I can't see any reason to get all excited…

The ESTA rules do not affect U.S. travelers heading overseas.

At least not until other countries start playing tit-for-tat.

Whoever wrote the copy at the link you posted obviously doesn't know what they're talking about; they call whale 'this fish'. If they can get something as basic as that wrong, their claims that the meat is 'healthy' need to be taken with a huge handful of salt.…

Of course the cops were wrong to play a waiting game where no one got hurt apart from the damage the perpetrator did to himself. They could have shown what great big dangling wrinkly things they had by starting off a car chase through crowded streets, maybe bashing into a…

just healthy red meat

How can it be 'healthy' when it's dead? Tortured, even?

The 'Greenpeace stole our whalemeat' story seems to have disappeared from the news media. Maybe it's being kept quiet because 'the whalers are stealing our taxes' is a story the pro-whaling government doesn't want in the news at a time when tax waste is big headlines.

The crazy Sea Shepherd cult claims to have sunk whaling boats in Iceland and Norway.

And I look forward eagerly to hearing reports of more (unmanned) death ships being sunk.

The Norwegian and Icelanders are allowed to hunt whales under agreement with the IWC as it is a major food source in those countries.
