you are using Firefox. I have the same issues on some photos. It's been going on for weeks. To circumvent the issue, Rclick and "view image". Be sure to go back on your browser to get back to the article. IE is another option.

listened to me and made sure tests were done until the cancer that was giving out vague and misleading symptoms got found. She could have dismissed me as an old crank. And waited until my cancer was both obvious and much, much more difficult to treat.


By the way - both tRump and Adolf have/had funny haircuts.

but hitler was a meth addict. tRump is just a probable viagra addict.

But still, Hitler really believed what he ranted. does tRump really care about anything beyond fame and money?

Rachel Maddow has floated the idea he is trying to lose, but can't seem to shake first place. She said he doesn't believe he can win, but can't seem to fall far enough behind to get out.

sound bites. Maybe he thought he could broker his "army" off to a front runner for an Ambassadorship to GB?

I like Chris Herbert's message, but I'll never understand why people bring race into the discussion when talking about Muslims.

Islam is not a race. Not all Arabs are Muslim, and in fact, most Muslims aren't Arab. There are also African Muslims, Asian Muslims, White Muslims, and others.

Calling Muslims a 'race of people' is therefore not only incorrect but it also helps reinforce the morons who think everybody that looks Arab and only people who look Arab are Muslims.

I can only add that during a recent visit to Istanbul, my white American ass was pulled from the path of certain oncoming danger by a Turkish stranger.

The guy must not have realized he was supposed to be more likely to push me into the path of trouble than to save me from it!
