No more Taps for teens!

Posted on January 1, 2007 by Sabina Becker

My friend Corey sent me this. While it is extremely gentle, with no violence or blue language, it’s also a shocker sure to bring tears to your eyes. Yes, you heard him correctly. He’s offering to go to Iraq in … Continue reading →

“If I wasn’t Muslim…”

Posted on November 8, 2006 by Sabina Becker

Best takeoff on “If I were a rich man” (from Fiddler on the Roof) I’ve ever seen:Trenchant social commentary on bigotry, xenophobia, ignorance and fear from a European Muslim viewpoint. This one’s from Bosnia, where ethnic cleansing has long been … Continue reading →

The obligatory fifth-anniversary 9-11 post, with a difference

Posted on September 11, 2006 by Sabina Becker

Blah, blah blah… That, Gentle Reader, is the sound of the mainstream media in the US, talking a lot and not actually saying anything. For the last five years, it’s been doing nothing but that on one particular day when … Continue reading →
