State of the World

Should I be concerned that the children across the alley are running around, making fake gun noises and pretending to die and, when asked what they are doing by their parents, reply, "We're playing Iraq!"?

When the news came out about Sarah Palin running for the Republican VP ticket, I pulled up what info I could about her to read up on her policies and the like.

Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

My partner requested photographic evidence. Let's compare and contrast, shall we?
