Re: Liberté, égalité, fraternité - millions take to the streets across France

The European support for Charlie Hebdo continues. Today, they were shipped to Germany, and sold out within minutes. I still don't have a copy. Europe, both with magazines and police forces, is willing to stand up to Islamists. Conversely, I hope Germany is still willing to stand up to the Pegida ma...

Re: Modern country music all sounds the same

Sadly this is right on the mark. There are only a few country singers in the business and they have trouble getting on the radio.
