Enjoy

Khalid Sheik Mohammed, mastermind of 9/11, says if he's sentenced to death, he'll look forward to seeing Osama bin Laden again. Maybe he can sit down, share a Pepsi, and watch some porno with him.

Free ... for me

UC Berkeley riots again show that the only free speech the left supports is when they are talking to a mirror.
