Sorry, I’ve been told that sexism is JUST as bad in the West as it is in Moslem societies, so she’s basically just out of the frying pan, into the fire, now.

I wish I’d screenshotted foxnews.com:

Really? We don’t have huge public-works boondoggles here? The Atlanta Olympics facilities are pretty dump-y these days from what I’ve heard.

I lived in Brazil for 18 months. It’s a great place. No, it is not ‘mostly poor’. Their governance and culture is basically like ours (I think you might like it: they have radical right-wing Christian radio hosts there, some of whom then parlay their media savvy into elected office, too). They are obsessed with…

I really hate guns and gun owners. I also really hate motorcycles and motorcycle riders. So I’m conflicted here.
