Thank you for letting me know about this. Great blog, too!
you are welcome!
knowledge is power!
This is a rhetorical question -- I know why stories like this don't get reported in mainstream media -- but [psalm-like lament] why don't stories like this get reported in mainstream media?
Sigh.
who wants to see stories about fistulas, mass rape and genocide when we can obssess over michael jackson, prescription birth control and naughty jokes from the first lady?
ah. the liberal media.
