Afghanistan
Ismael Khan sets up Iran border crossing
  • At Herat, Ismail Khan's men have set up a checkpoint on the border with Iran and taken control of the main hospital and prison. He is planning local elections but said he has no "desire for power'' himself. Excited crowds at the city's main bazar jostled for a chance to buy bright yellow packets of U.S. food aid.

    Politically correct revisionism in Noo Yawk... OJ to honor Ground Zero with his presence... Enron shredded evidence... Museum works to trivilialize the Holocaust... California congressman scores 50 Grand in pork for tatoo removal... California to sue PG&E for going bankrupt...
  • At the behest of the Professionally Sensitive, a model of the three firefighters raising the flag which was unveiled on December 21, to have replicated the photo exactly, was reworked to depict firefighters of three different races (the original three were all white), because "people of all races contributed to the rescue effort." OJ is expected to tour Ground Zero as part of a new documentary he's making about his "life and times and the American justice system." The firm that audited the books of collapsed Enron Corp., Arthur Andersen LLP, disclosed that a "significant but undetermined" number of documents related to the company had been destroyed. A Jewish museum's planned exhibit that includes a Lego concentration camp and "designer" canisters of poison gas was criticized as trivializing the atrocities committed during World War II. Rep. Lois Capps, D-Calif., scored $50,000 in federal funding last month for a tattoo removal program in her Santa Barbara, Calif., district. California's attorney general filed suit against PG&E Corp., alleging the San Francisco-based company engaged in illegal, unfair and fraudulent business practices that drove its utility subsidiary Pacific Gas and Electric Co. into bankruptcy.
    PC Rampant, OJ, Stinking Corruption, Trivializing the Suffering of 6 Million, Pork, and Demagogues. I repeat: Mickey Kaus was right, just a little off on his time frame. Which shall we choose? The Banality of Evil? Or the Evil of Banality?
