Anthony L. Hall takes aim at the global events of 2014 with a unique and refreshing perspective. For example, on:
Media broadcasting terrorist propaganda as 'breaking news'
"We live in a Twitter age of such promiscuous, indiscriminate and surreal media practices that it seems perfectly normal for our own media to be helping the enemy perpetrate psychological warfare against us. What else explains the media shielding us from the epithets of racists, but bombarding us with the taunts of terrorists?"
Snowboarder Shaun White failing to medal at Sochi Olympics
"Frankly, I think it's fair to say that never before in Olympic history has an athlete so hyped to win gold failed to even win bronze."
Only authoritarian regimes can govern Arab countries
"Show me an Arab country governed by a democratically elected government and I'll show you one that is an ungovernable mess."
Feminist call for liberated women to ditch high heels
"It's a reflection of the addictive high women get on heels that, when they're barefoot (or wearing tennis shoes), they invariably perch themselves on the balls of their feet to simulate those missing high heels. Have you noticed this?"
Putinization of Russia
"Putin's propaganda has done such a terrific job of convincing Russians that Westerners are undermining their culture at home and threatening the safety of fellow Russians abroad, the credibility of his presidency now depends on backing up his neo-Stalinist words with avenging military action."
Police in U.S. killing unarmed Black men
"If I hear another political or civic leader calling for a 'conversation on race, ' I'm going to puke. Because nothing will do more to curb deadly encounters between the police and young Black men than requiring the former to attach cameras to their bulletproof vests and prevailing upon the latter to obey police orders."
