I added a new sacred principle to the Sacred Principles of the Church of Reality. The Principle of Peace.

CNN gave Bush the Political Play of the Week for sucking up to the Jewish vote. It started when Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said, “The Europeans killed six million Jews out of twelve million, but today these Jews rule the world by proxy, “Mahathir said. “They get others to fight and die for them.”
