I’m From Abu Gharaib and I’m Your Neighbour

From Larry Wohlgemuth… It’s bound to happen. Eventually someone who served in Iraq or Afghanistan will move into your neighborhood, maybe even next door, and you’re going to wonder.

72 Virgins… Really?

09 August 2010

From Larry Wohlgemuth… 72 virgins is the going Islamic rate to get a man to drive a car filled with explosives into a group of Americans. It must be true, it has to be true, because that’s what our leaders have told us. They want us to believe it’s about the deviant sexual desire of [...]

Picturing RELATIVITY- see all photos

RELATIVELY Speaking

  • ANNOYING SAUDI A prominent Saudi human rights activist detained for more than a month is being investigated for allegedly “annoying others” with his online essays that criticise government officials and Saudi religious scholars. God Bless Saudi Arabia.
  • CHINA BANS SOLDIERS FROM BLOGGING OF ANY KIND A new regulation prohibits the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) from creating websites or blogs, citing confidentiality concerns. God Bless the Chinese Control Freaks and their ever-loving paranoia.
  • GRAB YOUR BONG While California confirmed its state’s marijuana legalization initiative would be on the November ballot months ago, the state has now assigned proposition numbers to this year’s slate of initiatives. Get used to hearing about Proposition 19.
  • THE WHITE MIDDLE CLASS DONT HAVE SEX A sexual malaise appears to have sunk over American White People. But to what extent do these complaints about sexual apathy reflect medical reality, and how much do they emanate from the anxious, overachieving, white upper middle class? Say What?
  • YOU'RE NOT JEWISH?! A Jerusalem court made legal history by jailing a delivery man from East Jerusalem. A Palestinian, the man was convicted of rape after having consensual sex with an Israeli woman who believed he was Jewish because he said his name was Daniel.
