Ask the Associated Press to report rape accurately

A movie with the title Children of Men incites some natural suspicion in me, so when I emerged into the world after a self-imposed absence yesterday to find it abuzz with anticipation of this film’s release I was expecting the worst. I Googled it immediately when I got home. Due out for release […]
