U.N.- Sponsored Racism (042809) by J. F. Kelly, Jr.
The United Nations sponsored another one of those international conferences on racism recently. The gathering in Geneva lived down to the low expectations that the United States and most of the rest of the civilized world held for it. As anticipated, it turned into a hate-filled rant against Israel by Muslim nations which constitute the largest voting block in the General Assembly. It was itself an exercise in racism.
The United… Continue

Hotel Del Hype
Where I grew up, everyone was surrounded by battlefields, colonial homes and historic landmarks. My old friend found a Civil War coin in her creek. Another used to camp out beside the Revolutionary War trench in her backyard. We were surrounded by the romance of history and the possibility of hauntings. I lived just outside of D.C. in Virginia, and every school made the pilgrimage to… Continue

Since a grown male Portuguese water dog… Continue
