I absolutely support the existence of Al-Jazeera. It is the mouthpeice of no-one in particular, as far as I know.

You can thank a man named Al Thani. He did not set it up as a mouth piece, but as an attempt at creating an organ of free press in the Arab World.

So far, its come in with mixed reviews, but its brand recognition is pretty solid.

The only ugly part of New Jersey is the industrial section, which happens to be right across from New York. The rest of it is called the Garden State for a reason.

Now can we can the bad amateur comedy and get back on topic?

Perhaps if we lived in the Middle East, we might disagree? I'm not sure that the appearance of objectivity isn't just caused by our distance from their local issues.

Shhh... don't let the word get out. Else people who live in hellholes will want to get out and move to NJ. Ask any longtime Vermonter about the hordes of Manhattanites (aka, "flatlanders") moving there.

I believe it's a Russian proverb.

They have another one: "German: A good fellow, perhaps, but it's safer just to hang him."
