Why would liberal students cry “racism” when their college served Mexican food during Sci-Fi Night?

It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. One of Saddam Hussein’s former henchmen, the King of Clubs from the Most Wanted Iraqis deck of cards, has been killed.

A black businesswoman – a banker from Long Island – was locked away in a mental institution for more than a week after police didn’t believe her claim.
