An Extreme Animal Rights Nut Will Be the New Regulatory Czar



I had to include this YouTube video of Sarah Chang playing Massenet's "Meditation From Thais" to sooth my AMERICAN soul against this weirdo, crazy Sunstein. ugh. Listen to this music while you read about this little, ugly, anti-American person and his lunatic ideas.
