    Why does anyone read the New York Times

    ...when they could be reading the New York Post?

    I saw this headline on a copy in the grocery store and decided I had to purchase it:


    This is legitimately the finest newspaper I have ever had the immense pleasure of reading. Inside the cover it has wonderful headlines like "Moammar gets Yankee-Capped" and "Tyrant pulled from sewer and beaten". This is incredible. This is A+ journalism. I love it.
    If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

    Thsi is the sensationalism of Amerika. Too often we see such absurdity in Amerika (Amerikkka). A civil war (a so-called revolution) is orchestrated and funded by NATO RATS that have lured the poor and unemployed young men of EGypt, Tunisia, Pakistan, and Adghanistan into their sickening western crusade in Libya, senidng these young men to their deaths. STOP USING FOREIGNERS TO FUEL YOUR HORRENDOUS SELFISH OIL WARS IN LIBYA, NATO RATS!

    But I digress. This is the sensationalism of the white man, castrated by his bourgeious lifestyle and operating in a post-colonial global framework (where global capitalism is dominant MONEY TALKS). Look at the word usage. The supposed killer of Muammar Gaddafi is not given a name except in small print at the bottom, like the small print on the forms the bankers give you that states the terms of the loan and allows them to seize your home and property if you become insolvent in your ablity to pay. NO ONE READS THIS PRINT and the editors of the Nu York POst know this. Instead, he is characterized as a yankees fan. Why does he have a yankees cap on? Is it because this so-called 'freedom fighter' is supported and funded by NATO RATS? Is it because Amerikan capitalism has reached and grabbed hold of the Libyan throat, ready to squeeze it of its oil in exchange for cheap and immoral Amerikkkan cultural exports? Why do the editors of the Nu York Post ignore the obvious and try to make a connection to the yankees, placing this young Arab Berber man (a Muur of Af Ra Ka) as an Amerikan to make the white Amerikkkans feel like it was one of their own who 'assassinated' this supposed tyrant! Put two and two together and you will have four.

    But Muammar Gadaffi is not dead. Watch the footage. There is a Black woman in the backround of the suppsoed footage. Why would this Black woman be in the scene? It is orchestrated by the NATO RATS to validate their war for oil and conquest in Libya. First Tunisia and EGypt, now Libya. The new European colonialism of Af Ra Ka, funded by NATO RATS and their mercenaries, who will rape and pillage the land of Af Ra Ka once again and like the invasion of IRaq and Afghanistan, the Amerikkkan print media is involved in feeding the masses the sensationalism where death and conquest is glorified like by the NU YORK POST in this example!

    QFT. Most newspaper writers are ****ing imbeciles. The best they can do is communicate what happened in an amusing way without wasting any more of my valuable time than necessary. That photo + headline says everything I need to know about qadaffi's death

    Red is the color of the blood which men must shed for their redemption. Black is the color of the noble and distinguished race. Green is the luxuriant vegetation of the Motherland.

    I think it's pretty extreme that the New York Post would do that but they have had a history of being very brazen.

    Oh and at the Back to Africa guy.

    That's interesting. The Libyan rebel flag has the same colors in the same order. I guess they also support shedding blood, black people and luxuriant vegetables?

    Also, that Af Ra Kam guy is seriously weird. I don't know if he's a liberal or conservative yet so I'm not sure whether I agree with what he says or not.

    Those are the Pan-African colors.

    Some African countries, have the same colors in the same order on their flags, like Kenya and Malawi.

    I posted pictures of the flags but they were huge and I don't care enough to look for thumbnails. Just take my word.

    Not knowing about something hasn't stopped Herman Cain in the past, Drake.

    Yes. Positive. He matches him stylistically. I noticed the person behind him is starting to diverge a bit probably because he became self-aware of it but his first posts were clearly Drake speaking.

    Like I said, when I commented on it being Drake, I think he became self-aware and started trying to sound different. Herman Cain's first posts were definitely Drake.

    If this is the beginning of the new Libya I must wonder what comes next. Liberal democracy or tribal massacres?

    What will become of the tribes that supported the man? Libya was not Gaddafi-ville but a regime built on tribal alliances.

    Then there are the Islamist rebels, who run the military side of things, and call the TNC 'too secular' and a 'new tyranny.'

    There is the unfortunate prospect of more civil war on the horizon. The end of Gaddafi may only be the beginning.
    "You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

    Who uses stove-top kettles now anyway? Electric kettles are much better.
