A (formerly) Far East located web site devoted to The Resistance, discussion of all things political, travel, women, golf, women,adventure, and did I mention women?
The amount of intellectual dishonesty by suregeaholics and others is disturbing, to say the least. And the tragic events that occurred on Thursday morning are sad and will be so for a long time. However, probably the most frustrating thing of the last couple of days is to see how
