Orwell's spinning could eliminate the need for new nuclear plants.

[Peter Farley (US)]

Decent man tarnished by association with a paltry American politician.

Tony Blair? He's a war criminal. We used to have guys like this at the Nuremberg trials. 72,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Reason enough to hang Blair like Hussein.
