IS THERE WI-FI IN PRISON? & Other Impotent Questions

OK, so there is a dilemma going on with blog round up. Do I make it funny or do I make it serious? Because there are some issues I take seriously and would like to report on (international relations) and there are other issues that I would also like to report on, but do not necessarily jive with my more.. serious entries (anal sex, hookers, etc). What I’ve decided to do is have the first part be SERIOUS, and then the second part be funny. Now, first you will think, then you will splooge from laughter.

Atlantic Review has an excellent summary about US foreign policy in relation to the War on Terror, and the possibility that the War on Terror is creating as much terrorism as it is removing. I’ve actually written about this in the past (specifically the attempt to remove Hezbollah by force) and agree with the idea that a military strategy is short-sighted, if not completely flawed. Further, “DEMOCRACY” as an end all be all has done nothing but empower mostly extremists in the Middle East. All in all, I think the US pursuit of changing the Arab world has been a double edged sword of maintaining and propping up US-friendly (and often oil drenched) regimes while trying to promote change.

Publius Pundit asks “ARE THERE RACIAL DIFFERENCES?”. Basically, nature vs. nurture has been settled on BLOGS. There is nothing too immense or difficult of an issue for the power of BLOGS. Remember that. But there are better articles at Publius right now including an excellent piece by Kim Zigfield of the Russiaphobe about a Putin intellectual day camp. Don’t forget my own article or NO MORE WARS FOR ISRAEL!

Coming Anarchy continues to be one of my favorite hang outs, mostly because my snarky comments are occasionally acknowledged and laughed at. CA has a good crop of articles talking about the rising problem of guerilla warfare in Afghanistan and the reemergence of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.

IS THERE WI-FI IN PRISON? Probably not! But this guy is about to find out! According to Gawker, this self-proclaimed Jesus freak got himself on Dateline last night. It was for soliciting sex from a 13 year old. Best of all, he has a single blog entry on MySpace entitled ‘my life took a u-turn’ written in the past which accordingly features over 500 comments, mostly talking about his love for middle schoolers.

This should remind you of why to never, ever become a blogger. Because blogging is stupid and selfish. Just like human females. Also, you can have sex on a plane with these females now.
