this cant go uncommented. and i have many MANY comments...here are a few.
1. i love the middle east and just listening to arabic makes me dreamy. when i met the man who would later become my husband, he was muttering something in arabic and i was so enchanted that i made him teach me the language. he taught me how to sing in arabic. i later found out that it was only the numerals and gibberish because he couldnt think of anything else. having said that, there is the middle east and then there is saudi arabic. there is jordon, palestine, lebanon, syria and then there is kuwait, baharin, oman, qatar...and then there is The Kingdom.
2. next, i dont buy the bullshit about rescuing moslem women. it's their culture...i think the rest of us should keep our dirty, filthy mitts off other people's business. help is appreciated only when it is solicited. i suspect the women in saudi arabia are a lot more happier than the buzzed off, MAOI inhibited, stiletto wearing american 'superwoman'. let us not get carried away by our own imagined superiority and 'freedom', hokay? if poo-boy's fan think that eating the beating heart of a live snake is A-OK because it 'respects' the culture of a country, they probably should shut their pie hole about the treatment of women in a country that has its own culture and moral codes..never mind that these women have more power than the average trailer trash from bumfuck, usa who is a teenage mom and doesnt have health insurance. can we focus on the lack of education, opportunities, medical insurance here before we worry about a woman who willingly covers her head and face because her faith is strong?
3. the comments on poo-urdain's travel channel blog is revealing. of course, i will only focus on the xenophobic shitheads. somehow i feel that a majority of poo-boy's fans belong to a class of their own. and i would only like to address this group only. first of all, they claim to be arm chair travellers..but in fact, they only want to feel superior while fermenting in their own gaseous excesses looking at the poorer majority of the world. they dont have an ounce of traveller or adventurer in them. just a distilled meanness and pettiness. this is confirmed by their glee when they watch poo-boy's regular shoot and slaughter footage of dead animals in every single episode. in a way, poo-boy is only doing the bread and circus routine...giving the masses what they need so he can retire with insurance for therapy, rogaine, viagra and prozac.
case in point: the genius who commented about feeling a connection when he saw a cripped laotian. if these people spent more time wondering about the news that DIDNT show the war instead of poo-boy chain smoking, they'd have felt a connection to the iraqis too.
and some of his other psychoshit fans were wondering about his lack of 'snarkiness'. on who? on a hapless fan who happens to be a person of a different faith and lives in a country that has earned a bad rap. let us face it...majority of the hijackers came from saudia arabia...how do you think iraqis feel about the united states? can we compare the numbers..the impact..the damage? the casualities? the rape of a country and culture and people..the theft of a nation... and people here sometimes wonder why an entire region in this world isnt cheering the benevolent dictator. oh gee...someone make poo-urdain an ambassador and we can fix this situation pronto! this sorry bunch want poo-urdain to piss upon the world on their behalf. a whore is a whore is a whore...a whore by any other name..etc. and i can respect a whore in the flesh trade.
4. now this is a point that ought to cause much hilarity. get this...poo boy goes to saudi arabia and let me guess..he had the freedom to do what he wanted to his show? flashback: the sorry..SORRY..Romania show where the people werent friendly and the food was primitive? remember that? i suppose shitting upon the heads of poor Romanian peasants brings about as much ratings as a show on oil rich Saudia Arabia. perhaps they gave more $ than the romanian govt did?
where is the bluster?
na-fucking-da.
can you say HYPOCRITE?
i have never wanted anyone to fail in their intended mission as much as i want poo-boy to eat shit and die. at least, he's made it half way there literally and with any luck, he'll complete the wish symbolically so that he can live to regret his played out years of past glory. what a creep!

speed of light..
rather, it is 'swifter than the mind'...but this..'speed of light'...keeps popping up..
i have been thinking about sloka 4 of the ishavasya upanishad. it translates easily, but it seems to hold much more than the literal meaning.
anejadekam manaso javiyo nainaddeva apnuvanpurvamarsat |
taddhavato'nyanatyeti tisthattasminnapo matarisva dadhati
it has such a QM feel to it too. i cant quite explain it. it transports me to far off places. sadly, my sanskrit teacher has left for the year and i have to figure it out all by myself.

Dogs for Obama!
I got this from bestfriends.org
You probably heard in the news that Senator Obama has promised his family they’ll get a new family dog after the November election.
The American Kennel Club jumped on this announcement with a list of possible “pure” breeds that the Obamas could buy from a pet store or breeder.
We’d like to propose something different to the senator and his family:
“With millions of homeless pets still being killed in shelters every year, please adopt your dog from a shelter or rescue group. Don’t buy from a pet store or breeder.”
It’s the same thing we say to people everywhere.
So we’ve launched a new website –
www.obamafamilydog.com – where you can sign a petition encouraging the senator to save a life by adopting a homeless pet. Whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, left-wing, right-wing or any other wing, please sign the petition, and encourage all your friends and family to sign it, too.
It’s a great opportunity to promote the cause of homeless pets everywhere.
So, please sign the petition and read the story.
Thanks, and good wishes,
Michael Mountain

Bourdain sputters again...
about Columbia..
(begin quote)
I can't think of another country where the No Reservations crew has been welcomed so enthusiastically everywhere we went. Absolutely everybody we met seemed delighted and proud that we'd come to point our cameras at them. And we were allowed and enabled, I should point out, to point them any damn where we pleased. Someone less...forgiving in temperament, less zen-like than me might feel tempted to point out to some other tourist boards the wisdom of letting us go and do whatever we want--no matter how uncomfortable the official organs might be about some of our interests--compared to the result when officialdom tries to "manage" what we see and don't see. .
(end quote)
can you say "supreme arrogance"? i challenge bourdain to click a photograph..never mind video footage..without proper 'approvals' in any public square of our nation's capital, washington.d.c. go on, i dare you..and a petulant tantrum like the one thrown in romania for good measure will end up in a full cavity search.
here it is..a hick from new york city discovers the world outside and reports his wide-eyed wonderment in hushed tones........as long as he is revered. and the hero worship continues.. the intolerance this man has exhibited in countries that has dared to show off more than one mighty ounce of vegetable fibre to move his bowels instead of wringing chicken necks, scraping hog arses and slaugthering lambs for his pleasure..not to mention, for his show ratings... have attracted the most sour expressions. it beggars belief when i hear his fans tell me how 'respectful' he is of other cultures...
most sickening is his glorification of poverty. somehow, i have a hunch that the poor people of asia or elsewhere would rather eat 'insipid' full meals from McD as long as they have schooling for their children, work where their back isnt broken by the sheer weight of existing and better quality of life than feed the bloated tourist entertainer with their only chicken..for which, i am sure they are thrown a few measly bucks by the production crew...their poverty and pride exposed for the world to see and for this charlatan to use it for entertainment that is beamed all over for a (relatively) previlaged few to kick back on their laz-boys and pronounce what is literally gibberish to most of them.
what kind of idiot shooting for a TOURIST show from AMERICA with CAMERAS...you know..from the country with the reputation of sending out some of the most obnoxious tourists in the world with elephant sized entitlement issues...expects a free pass to 'do whatever' they wanted..
once again, can we say..supreme arrogance..or..i dont know..delusions of grandeur in one's own inflated image?

Killing the Iranians with Ciggies..
so mccain 'jokes' that the raising cigarette imports to iran could be a way to 'kill them'. this man is so vile and disgusting, dubya seems benign by comparison.
i dont get it..whats with all this iran hate? and if people are going to vote for this fuckwit just so they can pee all over iran, all is lost for this country. but who knows...afterall, dubya won a second term. anything can happen in america, they used to say. it's where dreams come to life, it was said. nightmares too...it seems.

dear god, why?...WHY????
the abject creepiness displayed here is not subtle.
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., laughs with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., at a campaign event in Unity, N.H. Friday, June 27, 2008, their first joint public appearance since the divisive Democratic primary race ended. To her backers Clinton said: "I know that he'll work for you. He'll fight for you, and he'll stand up for you every single day in the White House," calling Obama "a leader who invests in our future." (AP Photo/Elise Amendola)
