Immigration and Terrorism

May 13, 2006

A rerun of the previous day’s Larry King Live is shown every morning here on CNN International at 11am. It’s now 1pm and I’m still angry and dismayed by last night’s show [click here for transcript]. Last night’s show involved two liberal talk show hosts debating two conservative talk show hosts about today’s hot topics. [...]

Yasser Arafat dies

November 11, 2004

I can’t explain why, but I’m kind of sad that he got ill and passed away. He’s been chairman of the PLO my entire lifetime. It’s just strange that there will he will no longer be there. I have a lot of sympathy for Palestinians. I think that the European media shows their plight much [...]

George’s Crusade

November 1, 2004
