This is what a 97-year-old fugitive Nazi looks like.

For most of his life, Laszlo Csatary has been a man looking over his shoulder for the authorities.  While he looks like a little old man, Csatary is actually the world’s most wanted Nazi war criminal, and for decades he has avoided justice until now.  Hungarian authorities have arrested 97-year-old Nazi war criminal Laszlo Csatary in Budapest.  Csatary has been a fugitive from justice for 64 years.  This isn’t some swastika-tattooed thug or some Hitler-loving white trash, this is a legitimate war criminal with a penchant for disappearing.

“When you look at a person like this, you shouldn’t see an old frail person, but think of a man who at the height of his physical powers devoted all his energy to murdering or persecuting and murdering innocent men, women and children,” said Efraim Zuroff, the top Nazi hunter at the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

The Center had named Laszlo Csatary its most-wanted living Nazi war criminal in April of this year.  Csatary escaped Czechoslovakia after being convicted of war crimes in absentia in 1948, ending up in Canada and becoming a Canadian citizen in 1955 while working as an art dealer in Montreal.  In October 1997, he fled Canada for Europe again to avoid a deportation hearing.  Since then, he’s been hiding; he was arrested in Budapest, Hungary, not terribly far from the brick factory in Kosice (now in Slovakia) where he sent 12,000 Jews to death in Auschwitz and other death camps.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
