Can this be true?  Are the Keystone Kops running the FBI???!!??
Having been vegan for many years and having attended quite a few of these things, let me tell you the conversation is about food, food, and food.  The most subversive thing I ever heard was the suggestion to try lentil soup made without garlic.  Heresy, [...]

The Harry Potter books have always been full of surprises and, to be honest, a little teachy-preachy. It’s okay, though, because the lessons are good ones and they inhabit some rollicking good stories. And now we come to find JK Rowling saved the best for last.
