Some Contemporary Latin
I found the "Are We Rome?" part kind of dumb, but the Latin part has some entertainment value:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/12/opinion/12dowd.html "barracuda borealis" and "lipsticka in porcam." made me chuckle.

Roughly translated:
Hardly anyone had heard the name Palin before a few months ago. She arose from her tanning bed in the forests of the land of the eskimo, asking, "who is this traitorous, ominous, perilous, scurrilous friend of 70s traitors and criminals?"I like it. |

I took 2 years of Latin. Pretty worthless.
