Censorship

Like a frog boiled, we have now reached Stalinist levels of censorship.  They won’t send you to the gulag, but in the later days of Stalinism they seldom did that.  Rather, your career depended on compliance I was listening to Chris Rock’s hilarious rant “We hate black people too!” and my son became alarmed, lest some one sneak up on my house and listen near the windows.

Anne Mansouret confirms rape of Tristane Banon by DSK

It seems that the chief of the IMF has been in the habit of raping women for quite some time – and no one called him on it until today. Ann Mansouret confirms that her daughter, Tristane Banon was raped by Dominique Strauss-Kahn So far, the hotel management has had balls the size of apples, the south central cops have had balls the size of apples, and, to my considerable …

Democracy in action

Lara Logan, CBS chief foreign correspondent was beaten and gang raped by a mob of 200 enthusiastic pro democracy protestors chanting “Jew, Jew” There is an effort to blame Mubarak for this, but if the goons of a US ally had done this, if the goons of a man who accepted peace with the west had done this, the mainstream media would be covering this with headlines the size of …
