ReplyDeleteRecent list candidates: Rolf Harris, Jimmy Savile & General Motors.

ReplyDeleteLet's not leave out Obama Admin's foreign policy. Or did I miss that in a prior edition?
ReplyDeleteWhy "The Food Pyramid" twice? Did it regain its former unsullied reputation and lose it again?
ReplyDeleteUS Supreme Court has to be counted...with the rash of recent ridiculous decisions they cannot in any sense of the word be trusted...
