News You Can Use

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Thursday, October 9. 2008 09:33
Strangely enough, the Obasmic American media seems to be completely silent on this rather significant news event:

A tense standoff has developed in waters off Somalia over an Iranian merchant ship laden with a mysterious cargo that was hijacked by pirates. Somali pirates suffered skin burns, lost hair and fell gravely ill “within days” of boarding the MV Iran Deyanat. Some of them died.


Gee, what disease could those symptoms possibly be describing?

Hint: It's probably not awesomeitis.

In an election year, when one of the candidates for the Presidency has expressed his intent to enter discussions with a terrorist nation, don't you think the curious actions of said nation would be.... somewhat newsworthy?

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*I posted this story, the day it broke.
And have heard nothing since that day.
This was one week after a report that a LARGE amount of fissile material could not be accounted for, in Iran.

Barak can't afford for the story to break.
Iran smuggling nuclear material to...
Fill in the blank.

TURN ISRAEL LOOSE!
