My letter to the troops →
Often we hear people say “there are no words…” when attempting to describe a feeling or an emotion so great, it has left them exhausted or literally made their hearts skip a beat or two.  This is usually accepted, though if there were ever a time to make an attempt to find those words, taking a moment to send this country’s brave men and women in uniform an encouraging...

Taliban Bribes Boy to Carry Bag Containing Bomb... →
On his face is an angelic smile, in his pocket a blood-stained 50-rupee note. Ishaq Khan, a 12-year-old schoolboy, was given the money – equivalent to just 40p – to carry a bag to a spot in a busy bazaar in Kohat, a town in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. As he walked away, the bag exploded, throwing him to the ground with a shattered foot and leaving shoppers dead and wounded all...

In a possible complication for Mousavi’s backers, Iran’s mobile phone text messaging system was down. Many Iranians, especially young voters, frequently use text messages to spread election information quickly to friends and family. “Unfortunately, some of my representatives were blocked from entering polling stations and SMS (text messaging) is also down, which is against the...

GPICT - Boycott CITGO and the Red Sox →
evillageidiot: [Coke Zero] contains two artificial sweeteners that have been deemed essentially harmless by the FDA and its counterparts around the world: aspartame and acesulfame potassium—known as Ace-K (though both sweeteners are the subject of controversy concerning their health effects). One or both of those ingredients, we are left to presume, are the ostensible reason for the ban. But...

Ahmadinejad Accuses Rivals Of Hitler Tactics,... →
Follow me here… Iran’s Ahmadinejad accuses rivals of using Hitler tactics…while threatening to wipe Israel and the Jews off the face of the map, thus stunningly defining hypocrisy. If he wasn’t such a loose canon, I’d say keep him around for another term —- the comedy’s too good. Seriously, though, to the beautiful people of Iran, do yourselves and the...

evillageidiot: A friend who lives in Westchester asked me for places in the East Village to have a birthday party. Among the requirements: “chill, not obnoxious, not loud, and has good beer.” I named about five places. I got the invite today. The venue is not one I recommended. Instead, it’s a place on the Lower East Side with stripper poles and a velvet rope, and on a Friday night, will...
