Condoleezza Rice Wrong on All Counts
May 3, 2009 · Leave a Comment
by Paul Smith Condoleezza Rice has recently taken a job as a political science professor at Stanford University (a position I imagine she was given ironically) and got into a bit of trouble after taking some questions from a couple of students yesterday as evidenced by a recent YouTube video. The short version of the story is that she committed numerous factual absurdities and may perhaps have admitted complicity in a serious crime.

Wade Manns The Corsair Resident Evil 5 by Capcom Rating: Mature (17+) for, from what I’ve observed so far, blood and gore and violence. Genre: survival horror Players: one or two over Xbox Live The Resident Evil series, since 1997 has been one of the leading and scariest survival horror series ever. First released on the original PlayStation, with rather good graphics for the standards of the time (though the backgrounds were all pre-rendered), very poor voice acting all around, a very limited control scheme, but with...

Knowing, by Escape Artists and Summit Entertainment Starring Nicolas Cage Rated PG-13 for disaster sequences, disturbing images and brief strong language.
