It is a terrible thing for a girl to get caught having sex with her father, isn't it? Shame on her! She should know better!

The fact that they were Jews didn't bother him, the fact that they were Arabs didn't bother him, but the synagogues did? What? He didn't care for the architecture?

He's Italian-American. He came back to Italy. He just didn't care to live there anymore after they took over his neighborhood and put up four new Synagogues. I don't blame him.

Sounds fishy to me because everyone I have spoken to has either already voted for Hillary or is planning to. Here in Italy (near Rome), Italians started asking me back in October if I thought Hillary was going to win the general election. From this vantage point, it certainly looks like Europe is for Hillary. Obama is getting top billing from all media.

In the early 90's in Texas, my neighbor from Norway, was also married to a black guy. She was very blond and blue and proud of saying that she came from the coldest country in the world. If non racist attitudes towards blacks exist Scandanavia, it's easy to understand why they are also non racists towards blacks in the Mediterranean. So I can't confirm that there is racism in Europe. On the other hand, my friend, born and raised in Rome, emigrated to the USA at age 20. She lived on the East Coast for 39 years and is now retired back in Italy and thoroughly disgusted because her nephew in Rome is dating a black girl, while Italians who never left Europe have no problem with it whatsoever. Like I said, racism is learned from the British. You need only to look at the troubles of blacks in places like USA, South Africa and Australia to realize this. Of course, if you never lived in Europe (by the way the UK is not Europe), you might not realize it. Simon, back in the early 60′s Mae Britt, a Swedish girl married Sammy Davis Junior.

I thought that called into question his grip on sanity. Then just a few weeks ago he said virtually the same thing, but this time added it could be 100 years more of occupation and nobody would mind. I call that willfully ignorant, imperialistic and crazy. And I think he has continually deluded himself where Bush is concerned. He played the role of anti-torture guy during the MCA debates, but then turned a blind eye when Bush said "torture good, Habeas bad" and made that view into law. I don't know if that episode was evidence of McCain craziness, but his trusting of the Bush mob on torture -- when we all know they've been sanctioning it and carrying it out for years -- most certainly showed a dangerous disconnection with reality.
