As many left-leaning bloggers have pointed out in the last couple of days, it’s not surprising that this Dubai Ports World business has turned into such a political nightmare for the Bush administration; after all, the Bush administration has made it a point, ever since 11 September 2001, to keep the American public in [...]

To the government, and the citizens, and the film industry, of the Republic of Turkey:
Mark Noonan (Blogs for Bush) is pretty mad at you. If you want to get back into Mark Noonan’s good graces, you had better apologize for the popularity of that movie Kurtlar vadisi – Irak. OK? You’re supposed [...]

I’ve been a Netflix customer for about four months now, and I’ve rented thirty DVDs in that space of time, an average of 7.5 DVDs a month. That’s not a whole lot (although I’ve gone through several periods of inactivity from being out of town so damn much).
