Things The MSM Might Not Tell you

Well, they may, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Did you know France named a street after an American cop-killer? Sacre Bleu me, frog. I guess they reserve mass murderer names like Hitler and bin Laden for the highways.

In May, I noted the disgusting decision by officials in the French city of St. Denis to name a street after convicted Death Row cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal.

Check it out, there may be some interesting developments in Iran.Several high level Republican Guard officers have been dying in plane crashes and now:

Three days ago, Iran’s dictator, Supreme Leader Ayatollah ali Khamenei, was rushed to the vast medical facility traditionally known as “Vanak” hospital (it now has an Arabic name that means “the 12th Imam Hospital”), a 1,200-room facility that saves half of its beds for the leadership.

Khamenei is known to be suffering from cancer, and taking considerable quantities of an opium-based pain killer

And then this ... I knew someone would like the Baker-Hamilton report.

Insurgents and militias in Iraq on Thursday welcomed the recommendations made in a report by the Iraq Study Group that indicated that US policy in Iraq was not working and that its troops should be pulled out earlier than current projections suggest.

I anticipate Bush giving far more weight to the internal reviews being done, especially the ones from the Pentagon and the NSA. He'll likely try to assess what al Qaeda is really up to both in Iraq and globally as a factor in any decision for change.

"France" named that street?

You need to get out more often.

You're so right, Dan. The Washington Post must have sat
on this story for four, five hours at least.

I bet the NSA told them not to publish it. Wait, that's
it! This was a ruse by the CIA that MSM thwarted!!

Call Matt Drudge. Now.

You may wish to return your copy of "Internet for Dummies", and try picking up a copy of "Internet for Anencephalics."

Nope, nope. The Post was waiting for confirmation from Police Captain Hussein. It took a little longer.

Cordially...

Did you know the US named a conference center after a Nazi designer of terror weapons which were built with Jewish slave labor?

Guess you missed Gen. Caldwell's opinion? "I would question at this point how effective they are at all at the state level." (http://usinfo.state.gov/xarchives/display.html?p=texttrans-english&y=2006&m=November&x=20061121104654xjsnommis0.0743677)
You're probably right; I'd base my entire Iraq strategy on the actions of an "extremely disorganized" band rather than on the opinions of experts. Good call.

Did you know that the US named a library and museum after the worst president in US history and a notorious anti semite. http://www.jimmycarterlibrary.org/

Man, it's a good the internetz are self-correcting.

I eagerly await Prof Riehl's correction.

OK, let's just assume that if Prof Riehl doesn't correct his hilarious mistake, we can take it as a sign that Riehl has finally come out of the closet.

Mumia wasn't a Death Row artist. He was signed to Def Jam.

Hmm, let's see, this story was in The Washington Post which was running an AP report, and you headline your post "Things The MSM Might Not Tell you."

Do you work at being a moron or does it just come naturally?
