This Sunday is Iraq’s second general election since its liberation/obliteration by US and allied forces in 2003 (remember that?). Vice collaborator Karlos Zurutuza spoke to Khasro Goran, Kurdish Candidate for Mosul, inside the concrete fortress that passes for his party’s headquarters.

ACRASSICAUDA PLAYING EUROPA TONIGHTTuesday, February 23, 2010
Sorry for the late notice, but Acrassicauda is playing at Europa in Brooklyn tonight! We know it’s raining, but that’s no excuse. This is the last chance we’ll have to see them before they head to Columbus, OH for the Scion Rock Fest. Their EP Only the Dead See the End of the War will be available March 9th, and they’ve been kind enough to give away the “Garden of Stones” MP3 for free. You can get tickets here if you don’t want to stand in line in the rain. |
OUR FRIEND BERNIE KERIKThursday, November 5, 2009
Bernard Kerik, a man once called an American hero, is in the news again today. In addition to serving as police chief at the time of 9/11, Kerik trained the Iraqi police-force following the 2003 invasion, and was once nominated by President Bush for the job of Homeland Security Secretary. This nomination, which would have been the highlight of any career in public service, ultimately served to cause his downfall. During the vetting process, a proverbial shit-ton of skeletons came out of his closet. Among them: Kerik employed an illegal nanny (who doesn’t?), had extramarital affairs, and took hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bribes. Apparently, these things are frowned upon. |
