The Brady Report: The Impossible Dream

Bipartisanship, in modern politics, is a lie – a falsehood, a hopeless dream, a fantasy based on nothing.  And yet this doesn’t prevent either side of the political divide from using the idea of it as a tool for derision, division, and justification, even when those employing it know it to [...]

Tanzanian Tales from the Dark Side

From Tanzania Correspondent Lute wa Lutengano… I have this tendency to surrender myself to the law enforcement officers in any town I visit and plan to spend a night or more. It is not that I am prone to breaking laws but rather I feel more secure when I know that the Police chiefs in [...]

Abaya House Rules

06 March 2010

From Saudi Arabian Corespondent Eman Al Nafjan… It’s true, abayas are regulated and policed. And I don’t only mean the PVPV trolling the malls shouting at women to cover. For a Saudi woman that’s minor when compared to what we have to go through at schools and colleges. You can gauge the political stance of the [...]

From Filipino Congressman Mong Palatino… “Immoral” rock concerts were banned in Malaysia. An “immoral” gay group was disqualified from participating in the Philippine elections.

  For many travelers,  Kathmandu’s immediate impact is exhilarating. The sights, smells and sounds of the bustling city overload your senses the minute you set foot out onto the street.  Whether you make your way through the crazy polluted traffic in a taxi or hit the narrow labyrinth-like streets of old town in a rickshaw, the [...]

A YouTube comedy classic here, as random Americans on the street are stopped by a fake news reporter who is in fact part of an Australian TV program geared towards making fun of the United States.

RELATIVELY Speaking

  • 13 YEAR OLD GETS 90 LASHES FOR CELL PHONE A 13 year-old Saudi girl is to receive 90 lashes after being caught with a mobile camera phone. The girl, who hasn’t been named, was also sentenced to two months in jail by a court in the city of Jubail. God Bless Saudi Arabia.
  • CONVENIENT DEATH The death of Polar Bears in Northern Canada and their turn to cannibalization has been called convenient by Republicans when used as evidence of the many problems that come with Global Warming. Gotta Love Right Wight Thinking.
  • GAY SUDAN Despite the progress of the last decade, it can be difficult to be gay in North American Society,even more so for those out of the closet. Ali, a gay male from Sudan however, has just a bit more to deal with.
  • MILLIONS SHAVE DOWN BELOW FOR V-DAY Flushed with anticipation and ready to emerge from another long, cold winter, millions of Americans participated this week in the annual tradition of trimming their pubic regions in time for Valentine’s Day. Only once a year?
  • THROAT SLASHING AN ACCIDENT Police are no longer investigating an incident where a man was found unconscious with his throat slashed, inside the fenced-off parking lot of a service center. Apparently, the knife-wound was simply a workplace accident. WTF?
