...America like O.J. loved Nicole"--I thought it impossible for Coulter to blush.

...banks and store fronts - after television news showed two boys trying to burn one during the Kurdish new year festival Newroz, when Kurdish nationalist sentiment traditionally runs high. Even Turkey's reticent but powerful military General Staff weighed in, issuing a statement describing the incident as an act of "treason" by "so-called citizens." Civilians, too, felt scorned. "Burning the flag is a slap in our face," said Ahmet Güney, a shop clerk in Istanbul's busy Taksim district. "We must show that we will not tolerate this." Turks have always been patriotic, but the flag-waving...
