Attention: Ignorant Pseudojournalists at the Los Angeles Times 
Thank you very much for demonstrating what a clueless bunch of twits you are.

No, I'm not referring so much to you souring your valuable front page real estate with opinion pieces not clearly labeled as such (although that's enough of an affront by itself).

I am instead referring specifically to this news analysis piece you ran on the front page of your July 4th edition, in which your staff writer, Alyssa J. Rubin, writes the following passage:

L. Paul Bremer III, the civilian administrator for Iraq, left without even giving a final speech to the country — almost as if he were afraid to look in the eye the people he had ruled for more than a year.


Well, if you're going to soil yourselves with the injection of editorial opinion, then it might be a tad less embarrassing if you would first demonstrate a basic grasp of the facts.

Unfortunately, the offensiveness of your pseudojournalistic practice of imbedding raw opinion in your news analysis is compounded and magnified by the fact that your thesis is, bluntly put, a screaming f***ing falsehood.

Here's Zayid on Bremer's 28 June address to the people of Iraq:

The hall was busy and everyone was chatting and laughing loud. They had Al-Jazeera on (something I never managed to convince them to stop doing). Then suddenly Mr. Bremer appeared on TV reading his last speech before he left Iraq. I approached the TV to listen carefully to the speech, as I expected it to be difficult in the midst of all that noise. To my surprise everyone stopped what they were doing and started watching as attentively as I was.

The speech was impressive and you could hear the sound of a needle if one had dropped it at that time. The most sensational moment was the end of the speech when Mr. Bremer used a famous Arab emotional poem. The poem was for a famous Arab poet who said it while leaving Baghdad. Al-Jazeera had put an interpreter who tried to translate even the Arabic poem which Mr. Bremer was telling in a fair Arabic! “Let this damned interpreter shut up. We want to hear what the man is saying” One of my colloquies shouted. The scene was very touching that the guy sitting next to me (who used to sympathize with Muqtada) said “He’s going to make me cry!”

Then he finished his speech by saying in Arabic,”A’ash Al-Iraq, A’ash Al-Iraq, A’ash Al-Iraq”! (Long live Iraq, Long live Iraq, long live Iraq).

I was deeply moved by this great man’s words but I couldn’t prevent myself from watching the effect of his words on my friends who some of them were anti-Americans and some were skeptic, although some of them have always shared my optimism. I found that they were touched even more deeply than I was. I turned to one friend who was a committed She’at and who distrusted America all the way. He looked as if he was bewitched, and I asked him, “So, what do you think of this man? Do you still consider him an invader?” My friend smiled, still touched and said, “Absolutely not! He brought tears to my eyes. God bless him.”


So if one of our biggest major dailies in the country is blowing a story like this, what else are they missing?

If your editors can't keep up with the biggest story of the summer, and get even their most basic facts right, maybe they should be fired and replaced with some real pseudojournalists at, say, FOX News.

Dumbasses.

Splash, out

It's amazing how these rappers get a rise out of making people react, which is why they write
about the songs they do. They know it's going to get people talking and get a buzz going about
them, but do they care? No way, it's all about the sales and it makes the sales go up when they
make it in the news and have these public groups show up outside concerts and such. If people
would just not feed into the controversial, the sales would probably go down. But then I guess
there would be no one to shock anymore, right? Hehe. Ebsco host

Well, that is exactly what I found when I spotted this site about Endowment mortgage uk. It is what I have been looking for a gosh darn long time. And I am totally proud that I found it.

It is good to be able to focus your mind and veer it any type of subject. Like, even if a teacher just asked you to research something like Uk independent mortgage advice and you had to go out, look up everything you could find on that topic and then write a paper about it. That is why it is so important to be able to focus the mind. I know, just learned that lesson today. Hehe! Just thought I would share.

Here are some things you can do to help your child develop. Show your child that you care about him/her and that you are dependable. Children who feel loved are more likely to be confident. Your child must believe that, no matter what, someone will look out for him/her. Give your baby or toddler plenty of attention, encouragement, hugs and lap time. Set a good example. Children imitate what ever they see?

Hola! Well done on a nice blog Blogger. I was looking for information on spanish love poems and came across your post this post - not precisely what I was looking for related to spanish love poems but an interesting read all the same!

You see I've just started out learning Spanish. I think I've found a pretty good method, but I'm constantly trying to learn more - faster - and improve. I can't wait to get over to Panama. Already made contact with a few hot Latina chicks. Looks VERY promising. Just got to improve on the Spanish :o)

If you'd like to keep an eye on my progress and perhaps provide some helpful advice, everyone's welcome. Please just surf over to Learn Spanish for Love. I look forward to meeting you.

Hasta luego!

Your blog rocks because it's interesting in a off-beat kind of way. I was searching for topics on home business and I ended up on your blog. I'm usually more interested in Forex Directory.

From any perspective it's reasonable because it is similar to the way I write and because it seems to make for readable posts. Nice job!
