Teen Sex in Stalinist Georgia

Good Morning. A few new items today.

  • What happens when a 17-year-old boy receives a consensual blow job from a 15-year-old girl at a party in Georgia (the American one of Cobb County, Newt Gingrich and CNN, not its former Soviet namesake and Stalin’s homeland), and when the boy happens to be black? He gets sentenced to 10 years in prison without parole. See "Teen Sex as Gallows in Georgia"
  • "We're not winning," the president finally conceded to the Washington Post about Iraq. No schnitzel, Sherlock. But Bush's labyrinth is worse than he lets on. See "We're Not Winning..."
  • Where has Osama been? And why is his No. 2 man , the bloodlusting Ayman al-Zawahiri, grabbing the spotlight? There may be some good news and some bad news. See "Is al-Qaeda Finished?"
Plenty more in Candide's Daily Journal. Thanks for reading.pt
