One Moment in Time: Streaming the Solstice from Newgrange

Kerrey and "Barack Hussein Obama"
I wasn’t there, but I’m inclined to give Bob Kerrey the benefit of the doubt on his comment about "Barack Hussein Obama." Kerrey is being accused of pulling a Mark Penn, but that’s not the only way to read his remarks.

Various species of birds have periodically expanded from Asia through New Guinea to the Bismarks, then progressively to the Solomons, to
