The Persians are coming, the Persians are coming

Oh that Hillary (addressing the topic of Iran)… Some words should never be uttered, not even in the heat of a national political campaign. If you like that kind of language, though, this is what you’re signing up for:

Post-blast corpses in Hiroshima, Japan

This photo and others like it were only recently released. They’re from August, [...]

I think it’s time for this again. I first used this image (which I created) on March 14, 2003…

Over one million human beings dead!

The singular moral and political event of the last eight years. From this crime, so heinous, widespread, corrupting, and ongoing as to defy comprehension, comes the present state of America: hated throughout [...]

It’s the nationalists versus the separatists. Read all about it here in the best analysis of this I’ve ever read.

The topic is very close to my own daily deliberations, and there are some great comments appended. Here’s a sample of where Daniel is coming from:
I am very [...]

I’m hearing good things about (most of) the new disc, called “Revival.” Here’s a good article by an obvious fan where I found this: Fogerty singing “Long Dark Night / I Can’t Take it No More” on the Letterman show (link).
Now that’s more like it. Besides being one helluva performer, Fogerty is an outstanding rock [...]

Well, that was a short fall.
Fourteen degrees all of sudden is quite a shock. I’ve been burning wood all day. Most of the trees still have their leaves on them, but not for long. Fourteen degrees, my God. I never even checked the radiator fluid. Did cut the water off to the outside spigot. [...]

Take a look. Take a good, close look. Posted by the blogger Nezua (”The Unapologetic Mexican”) in a piece called “One More Moment Before We Bomb,” these images of Iranian life are stunning and will grab you by the throat.
Interesting blog… I’m rather envious of his graphics skills. [FarrFeed looks like tarpaper by comparison.] [...]
