9/11 Is Over
Tom Friedman says a lot of what I’ve had kicking around in my head over the past year.
I will not vote for any candidate running on 9/11. We don’t need another president of 9/11. We need a president for 9/12. I will only vote for the 9/12 candidate.

A Collection of Mistranslated Persian Idioms

Culled from a wide variety of sources, ranging from Agence France Presse (AFP), the French national news agency, to the London Daily Telegraph, to the Suddeutsche Zeitung Online, to France’s Le Monde and Liberation, Mr. Ahmadinejad spells out the target and the strategy: “This regime [Israel] […]
Want to make a dirty bomb?
You’ll just need some free time and a postal box.

Forget Iran
What about Pakistan?
Gregory Scoblete posits that we should forget Iran for a minute and worry about Pakistan.
While the 2008 presidential candidates are busy fielding questions about how they would confront Iran’s nuclear ambitions, few seem interested in addressing a much more pressing issue: Pakistan.

Iraq withdrawal would be a disaster
From Newsbusters:
Left-wing blogs loved it when CNN’s Michael Ware rebuked Senator John McCain a few weeks ago, after McCain suggested he could safely walk through areas of Baghdad. But this morning on CNN, Ware took dead aim at Democratic schemes for pulling out of Iraq, saying that debating a U.S. troop withdrawal was “delusional” and […]
it’s islam.
but you wouldn’t know it from lots of reports on the recent salt lake city shooting, like this one, where the reporter settles on a perfectly logical reason for the rampage: he grew up in war-torn bosnia! (you know, because we’ve had all these problems lately with bosnian rage and […]
