י״ג בתמוז ה׳תש״ע (Friday 25 June 2010)

Al Gore is a rapist.

י״ג בתמוז ה׳תש״ע (Friday 25 June 2010)

The above statement has no bearing in truth (and I wrote it just to attract people searching for it). In fact, if what the New York Times says is true, Al Gore is about as far from being a rapist as anyone can be. Unless I’m missing some subtextual implication, he’s being accused of wanting [...]
