Afghan president’s half brother assassinated, Jason Bourne in drag (try to un-see it)
Listen to the new episode of Citizen Radio and subscribe to the free podcast.
Afghan president Hamid Karzai’s half brother has been assassinated. Allison discusses this and other stories in a new segment: “How’s that workin’ out?” Massive droughts don’t matter because Al Gore is still fat and New Gingrich blacks out and forgets the Supreme Court is in the Constitution.
