“I’ll never say anything nice again — how can I?”

At Least He Can Probably Pronounce “India”
The wonderful Arundhati Roy has a typically scathing article in The Nation about Shrub’s visit to India, where he’ll be speaking not to the Parliament (whose members have a nasty habit of thinking for themselves and speaking up, and cannot … Continue reading
