Regis Nicoll — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:52:00 GMT

Twenty-five facts have come to light that are so unexpected, yet important, they were featured in Newsweek with the attention-grabbing title, “What You Need to Know Now.” Some of the provocative findings are “Bipartisanship is Bad” and “Socialism is the Best Medicine.” I’ll let those pass for now, and turn to the capstone of the piece: “We Are All Hindus Now” ...
