It must sound familiar for some of the readers who have visited Egypt and heard this (often misleading) phrase bandied around, but for journalist Laila el-Haddad this time around, it carried a completely different meaning… And seriously, when the Zionists have such great Arab allies to oppress the Palestinians for them, why do they need [...]
Great Moments in US Senate History: George Galloway Prepares to Anally Probe Norm Coleman (2005). News reports indicate that incumbent Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman’s lead over “comedian” Al Franken has slimmed to a mere 5 votes.
