Loss of Faith

Again, shalom.

Less than two weeks ago I pulled together various sources on a particular issue to construct my own article on a situation in Texas in which the 2006 nickel, featured on a school's Yearbook cover, was deliberately printed without the words "In God We Trust" specifically to cater to atheists and polytheists. I felt infuriated, but I decided to get both sides of the story and so combined many articles' pieces, and some other people's comments, into one cohesive article of my own.

Shaq Attack is Back; Saddam Shmaddam

Hey all,

Hopefully most of you are aware of the Miami Heat's recent acquisition the NBA Finals series. There is one beat of significance to me - Shaq. It hasn't been long since he left the Lakers, but the Heat's victory proves one point: Shaq came out on top of all the Lakers. Essentially, his team's victory clearly spells out to them the following message: "You Should've Traded Kobe Instead, Suckers!"

Also in the news was the killing of yet another one of Saddam's defense attorneys - hello? Anyone home? To me, this makes most Iraqis' belief quite clear: they are quite glad Saddam is out of power, no denial or doubt, but more importantly the metaphorical meaning is that for his countless crimes Saddam is, for all intents and purposes, defenseless.


Peace Out.
