Senator Marion Barry (D-D.C.)The House of Representatives reconvened this week after its Easter Recess.

Pro-Life Death MerchantsI have always found it bizarre that some of the most pro-war Americans are pro-lifers.

His latest call for an international conference, one that is supposed to give birth to a contiguous Palestinian state, is a good start. |
