Afghan president’s half brother assassinated, Jason Bourne in drag (try to un-see it)

without comments

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. Also, the Syrian government spies on dissidents…inside the United States, Jeremy Scahill breaks a huge story in Somalia, and Iraqi protesters are silenced by their government, which after all, is the reason the United States is there: to fight for a tyrannical regime’s right to crush the opposition.
