Sometimes UFO watching is better than reading the newspaper
by JeremyHere's why I hope the people of Iran keeping looking up in the sky for new and colorful realities, hints at others worlds (rather than staying inside and reading their newspapers, if the English Tehran Times is any indication).
Some headlines from today's Tehran Times:
Washington Unleashes Bloodbath in Iraq
News Analysis
...
Washington is determined to make an example out of Fallujah and Sadr's movement, much in the same fashion that the Nazi occupiers of World War II Europe leveled the Czech town of Lidice and razed the Warsaw ghetto.
...........................Bremer Considering Coup in Iraq
...
The preliminary details for the coup against the Iraqi people have been taken care of. It appears that the United States, some regional countries, and the United Nations representative in Iraq are the main players in the coup plot.
...........................Australian Defense Adviser Sacked for Refusing to Write WMD Lies
...........................Jew to Draft Iraqi Constitution
TEHRAN (Mehr News Agency) -- An Iraqi analyst revealed on Saturday that a Jew, originally Iraqi, who acts as an advisor to the U.S. administrator in Iraq Paul Bremer, has been missioned to draft the Iraqi constitution.
...
The Iraqi analyst has refused to disclose the name of the Jew.
If you're thninking my favorite line from the above is "The Iraqi analyst has refused to disclose the name of the Jew" you'd be wrong; that was my second favorite. My favorite line? "News Analysis." And I'd like to express my gratitude to Danny Devito who, in addition the being the only funny celebrity spokesman on those Direct TV ads where they read customer letters, has provided the voice in my head for that phrase "WMD Lies."
