Inanity Still Rules the Airwaves (via Huffington Post)

Monday, January 7th, 2008

I’m proud to be the author of this brief opinion piece about Pakistan, Al Qaeda, Benazir Bhutto and USA television news at the Huffington Post:

Inanity Still Rules the Airwaves

If the Huff Post hadn’t accepted it, I would have posted this here. I hope you don’t mind me going where more readers will read it.

About The Site

TheCherryOrchard.org is a non-partisan critique of contemporary politics, news and history. The site was founded by Levi Asher in July 2006.

The site is named for Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, a hilarious and bitter play about a magnificent house filled with foolish people. During the last years of Tsarist rule, this noble family is facing poverty and ruin due to a financial downturn, but nobody in the house knows how to begin to deal with the problem (save a friendly former servant, who is utterly ignored). Chekhov's brilliant satire ends with the noise of cutting crews destroying the famous cherry orchard that surrounds the estate.
