From Gail Collins yesterday:
“I spent the last five days crying in Argentina,” he said, completely ignoring all we have learned from Andrew Lloyd Webber.

I'm still giggling thanks to a friend of jobob's. Of course, the stupid refrain is stuck in my head.
OMG, I can't believe I didn't think of that! Too too funny :DQuote:

I'm all over the place. New york times, financial times, bbc world, huffington post, generally if I'm reading a story about iran or whatever - go find an Iranian news paper. Get a couple different sources. Is it real then? So I end up on a lot of other news sites regularly in addition to those.
and I don't even have to get black smudges on my fingers from newsprint.
Hey, I was actually SO taken by Gail Collins' column on this yesterday that I emailed her to say "Great column; been meaning to tell you I like your work." I was reading parts of it out loud to my spouse in the next room and laughing immoderately. "Finally, a governor who’s weirder than Rod Blagojevich and less responsible than Eliot Spitzer." Thank you, Gail.
Yeah, me too. I am a total online news junkie. There used to be a Tehran Globe but my bookmark for that now does not find it. Al Jazeera English is sometimes worth a look, as is the Middle East Daily, and Malaysiakini.com is really interesting. And the Lebanon Daily Star (dailystar.com.lb).Quote:

I'm quite liking her so far. http://www.fitsnews.com/2008/10/18/d...jenny-sanford/
Wow. She should run for his office.
Should you wish to read about Iran etc..Why not visit the Independent & read Fisky's (robert fisk) articles..http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion...s-1721566.html
Thanks, I just added a gadget for that site to my homepage.
I end up on the independent fairly often.
I lost all our links when we transferred to our new computer..:o :(
I believe this was one of the papers I had on my list..http://www.iran-daily.com/1388/3432/html/
Yup, this. Flu virus loves to mutate, and this one has a lot of hallmarks of the Spanish flu, which wasn't all that bad until it's 4th or 4th mutation. So this flu virus can still come around and bite us all in the *** something fierce. Of course by that point we will all be so jaded over them "crying wolf" that we might not take it seriously :(Quote:

Stupid Stupid media..:mad:
