They suddenly rediscovered Beruit is politically unstable after being unable to select a president for over a year, and will only become more so. It didn’t hurt that a CNN camera crew was trapped in the fracas.
It is encouraging to find an interesting story in light of our imperial wars in Afghanistan, now the world’s largest producer of opium, and Iraq. A country that was once world reknowned for their exports of Goldstein… Osama Bin Laden’s straight to video releases, Afghanistan TV has found a hit in a clone of American Idol (which I think is actually a clone of a British show), Afghan Star. Not only are Afghanis rocking out like it is 1999, but one of the more popular preformers this season was a woman named Lima Sahar, which is a pretty big accomplishment for a country where the Taliban banned TV (seriously) and made women wear Burkhas.
In the meantime, the CIA’s Goldstein, Osama Bin Laden, has ben relegated to radio where he released another tape… which I doubt anyone has paid attention to. So fuck you, Osama, and fuck your CIA bosses because they are not paying me to say otherwise.

The speech was well-received by Obama’s audience. The televised news media conveyed his message surprisingly well for a sweeping statement at that level of complexity, which is to say they did a feeble job of it. Newspapers, unbeholden to flashy graphic, 15-second sound bites and out-of-context headlines better captured the spirit of the address and offered thoughtful analysis of its implications. And the GOP… well, once the GOP has something in their jaws, they don’t just let go:
“You don’t have to say that he’s unpatriotic, you don’t question his patriotism,” said Chris LaCivita, the Republican strategist who helped create the Swift Boat Veterans ads in 2004. “Because I guaran-damn-tee you that with that footage you don’t have to say it.”
“Obama knows that if somebody puts him in church on some day that Wright said some crazy [stuff] like white people injected blacks with AIDS he’s in a world of hurt,” said Rick Wilson, who made the 2002 ads tying then-Sen. Max Cleland, a disabled veteran, to Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. “I would eat this up like cake.”
I have a feeling Obama wouldn’t be pulling in the guaran-damn-tee vote in the general election anyway.

Plausible deniability is the last refuge of the political wife whose husband’s career has been cast upon the rocks of public sexual humiliation. “I didn’t know Eliot was barebacking prostitutes for the last six years,” one wife might convey through a tightly pursed lip. “David certainly never displayed a proclivity for wearing diapers in our bedroom,” another unfortunate member of the governor’s wives club might confide behind closed doors. And if you’re former New Jersey first lady Dina Matos McGreevey, part of the rationale for filing divorce papers is the plaintive “I didn’t know Jim was gay.”
A former driver and aide for former N.J. Gov. Jim McGreevey says Dina Matos McGreevey must have always known her husband was gay - because he was the other man in bed with them.
In an explosive interview with The Post, the McGreeveys’ longtime man-in-the-middle, Teddy Pedersen, recounted explicit details of alleged, titillating, three-way sex romps he had with the now-divorcing duo, starting during their courtship and continuing into the marriage.
Pedersen - who said he has already spilled the beans on the steamy ménage a trios arrangement under oath in a deposition for the couple’s divorce battle - hinted that he thinks his presence was required to get Jim’s motor running for Dina.
If the news media is ever going to fix their gaze upon the stories that really matter, illicit nookie is going to have to be worked in the framework somehow.

So it comes to pass that anime is a lousy babysitter. A ten year old ginger kid named Codey “Code-Red” Porter gave up the ghost two days after he let his friends bury his head in a sandbox, mimicking the ever-popular Naruto anime with terrible English dubbing.
Codey’s friends were questioned as to why they put him in a situation that resulted in his death, and their weak explanation was because in the cartoon Naruto he likes to bury himself as a way to hide from enemies, but he uses a tube in order to breath. Clearly, Code-Red was not a big enough fan to have remembered this. It needs to be said, though, that the show, as most Japanese cartoons, is PG-13, and the difference in intelligence between a ten-year-old and a thirteen-year-old can be vast. In retrospect, the parents should have just bought the first few seasons of Gargoyles or Duck Tales instead.
Judging from the different articles I’ve read, no one even knows what the cartoon Naruto is really about, which is frightening because you’d think a parent or even a half-brother would want at least an inkling of what the child is into. It makes me wonder how much attention they paid to him to begin with, if he was able to just go off with his friends to a foot deep sandbox and re-enact scenes from it.
I am sad that another redhead has been lost to unseen circumstances. The unique hair gene is now becoming even more rare as we speak and soon they will be bred out and thought of as only a myth. As a redhead supporter, I urge anyone with a child who blessed with such fantastic colours on their scalp to keep them away from poorly dubbed cartoons and instead indulge them in harmless shows of olde, like Huckleberry Hound, The Pink Panther, or anything showing on Boomerang.
