Bush Cancels Switzerland Trip After Threat of Arrest for Torture Crimes
Former Pres. George W. Bush is denying that the sudden cancellation of his scheduled speech at a Jewish charity event in Switzerland has anything to do with the fact that human rights groups promised he would be arrested on arrival.

All About Branding
She’s earned a well-deserved reputation for her snark.
She’s a momma grizz whose bite’s worse than her bark.

Beck Suggests Both Bush Administrations Were Complicit in International Caliphate Conspiracy
Any minute now, sayeth the Prophet, the West will be overthrown by a cabal of socialists, communists and Islamic extremists who, despite their radically different, even polar-opposite ideologies, are working shoulder to shoulder, bent on establishing an international Muslim theocratic empire headquartered in Iraq, built on the ruins of ancient Babylon.

You might have heard of it, unless you watch a lot of FOX News, in which case, think, “Persia.” Egypt, of course, is that large country on the tip of North Africa, the one with a big river running through it. What’s the name of that river? Oh yeah, what FOX News does when faced with facts: denial.
