3 Soooo, what do you suppose brought this on?

1) The syphilis has finally hit his brain.
2) He knows that the world's right-thinking people have never met a dictator they didn't like.

5 Look at what is happening in North America: The horror, torture, homelessness and Guantanamo with imprisonment without a court or trial, he told foreign journalists on Friday.
