Winner Of The Week
Ghanem

Losers Of The Week
The people at his own newspaper that turned Ghanem in. What an odd thing to do to one of your own people.

Quote Of The Week
"It is hard enough just being alive, just living and trying to be a decent person without being overwhelmed by shame and guilt and the demands of the world; the last thing we need is someone who got a few extra pulls of the handle at the cosmic slot machine telling us we’re doing it all wrong. If there is something we should aspire to, it certainly cannot be a position from which we look upon ordinary people, people no less miraculous but perhaps just a little less lucky than ourselves, as a lesser form of life." -- Leonard Pierce
