Press Corps Zombies!

The outing of Helen Thomas as the resident Washington press correspondent for Hamas continues. Reports are surfacing all over the place indicating that her recent recorded remarks (to a rabbi and his son!) are hardly atypical.

Amongst the beltway insiders she has always been tolerated with a rueful shake of the head as she repeatedly asked [...]

Number One With A Bullet

Where’s Hurricane Bill When You Need It?

Here’s another Obama test:

Our new-found friend Moammar Ghadhafi plans to attend the UN and stay while he does it across the Hudson River in posh Englewood, NJ, at an estate owned by the Libyan government. The estate is under renovation so it believed that Ghadhafi wants to stay in a “Bedouine tent” on the lawn, [...]

Joe, Say “Go” Ain’t So

GaffeMaster J, AKA Joe Biden, made statements this weekend that the US “would not stand in the way” of Israeli action against Iranian nuclear facilities. Evidently he overstepped.

The US has “absolutely not” given Israel a green light to attack Iran over its nuclear programme, President Barack Obama has said.

Truth As A Weapon

Whatever the fate of newspapers, television news is one traditional media that seems to have retained its significance. For all the talk about Twitter and DM’ing in the continuing Iranian unrest, the ayatollas, at least, are blaming tv — specifically the BBC’s recently created Farsi-language service.

The propagators of an “all-out war” against the Islamic republic, [...]

Still Clenched

WaPo:

An influential Iranian cleric told worshipers Friday that those stirring unrest in connection with the recent election should be punished “ruthlessly and savagely” and convicted for waging war against God, a crime that under Shiite Islamic law is punishable by death.

I’m glad that President Obama’s willingness to engage the hard line Islamists has had such [...]

Deep Packets

While they may be clumsy amateurs at rigging elections, the Iranian government is very sophisticated at controlling and tracking internet data. More so even than the ChiComs.

…in confronting the political turmoil that has consumed the country this past week, the Iranian government appears to be engaging in a practice often called deep packet inspection, which [...]

Street Fighting Men (and Women)

OK, now things in Iran are getting interesting. When all it is has to do with one puppet president vs. another potential puppet president, yawn. But now the members of the real power base, the Guardian Council, are mixing it up. Forget Ahmadinejad vs. Moussavi, Khamenei vs. Rafsanjani is the real deal.

There are riots in [...]
