Inexcusable

The Empire State Building will be lit up in red and yellow on Wednesday in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of history's most murderous regime, that of Communist China.

Look. Maybe they own America these days, but would anybody go to such lengths to celebrate, say, the Nazi takeover of Germany? The Chinese Communists have murdered more than five times as many innocent people as Hitler did.

To say that Wednesday's ceremony is in poor taste would be to put it mildly.
