...over the Internet, luring him into a liaison that resulted in his death. Muna was a 24-year-old Palestinian journalist from the West Bank city of Ramallah when she began trawling Internet chat rooms at about the time of the second intifadeh. She soon found Ofir Rahum, a schoolboy from the Israeli city of Ashkelon. She said she was a newly immigrated Moroccan Jew named Sali, and she soon initiated a sexually charged cyber-relationship.

And, just like Lord of the Flies, Cast Offs is fictional. The show, scheduled to begin airing on Britain's Channel 4 on Nov. 24, is a mockumentary-style drama that apes the reality format it satirizes and seethes with sex, profanity and gloriously politically incorrect dialogue. But it stars actors...

Limbaugh, Rush • citing by of an insignificant incident of schoolboy bullying - initially blown out of all miniscule proportion by Matt Drudge and jumped on by Michelle Malkin - as evidence of some kind of anti-white uprising in "Obama's America" prompts repulsed observers to characterize as "evil" and "vile" and "odious...
