Received this via email.  It’s so true in so many ways:
A biker is riding his Harley by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage.  Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

A lot is suddenly being made over a New York Times article that questions whether John McCain qualifies for President.  It seems he was born in Panama.  Some people are taking the Times to task since they endorsed McCain a long time ago and “suddenly” realized a critical piece of his biography.  Now, to the very [...]

Y’know, at first I assumed the NYT assumed we are all incredibly stupid. Now, after watching them make the rounds explaining to us that their top-secret revealed to them [...]

Here’s the story:
(Peter King) To me, the real question here is the conduct of The New York Times. By disclosing this in time of war, they have compromised America’s anti-terrorist policies. This is a very effective policy. They have compromised it. This is the second time The New York Times has done this.
