War Crimes in Gaza? Say It Ain’t So!

March 19, 2009 By tedf Leave a Comment

What happens when “I stand with Israel” becomes “I stand against democracy in the Middle East”?

February 11, 2009 By Mr. Lynne 27 Comments

WOW @MayorWu look at the GREAT 👀 example you’re setting to your peers… now they dont have to answer or acknowledge constituents.. you people must not want to be re-elected! #bospoli #mapoli #scum #SCREWWU #WuTrainWreck
