Turkey Attacks Kurds, Again
Looks like Turkey is attempting to relive its glory days once again, the days when it attempted to eradicate entire communities for sport.
Fighter planes attacked positions held by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in a 35-minute raid, the army said.Besides the healthy dose of bullshit present in the article as well as the entire conflict, the level of patriotism over U.S.-made weapons at the control of barbarians is also laughable. Frankly, I await the day when Turkey is no longer a strategic ally of the United States and is forced to return to its not-so-distant caveman past.
Turkish foreign ministry spokesman Levent Bilman told the BBC the United States "supplied actionable intelligence" for that operation.

Video: Insurance Company Kills Armenian Girl
This is the tragic story of a girl named Nataline Sarkisyan who was denied a liver transplant and allowed to die, even though her insurance company CIGNA had committed to the precedure prior to her developing a lung infection. As a result, the family has now hired Mark Geragos to sue CIGNA for having "maliciously killed her."
If this moves you - and I have no doubt that it does unless you're inhuman or a Turk - then watch the movie Sicko. Nataline's life is just one example of the exploitation of patients by ruthless insurance companies for profit.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Armenian Boxers Victorious in December
I've not been paying attention to all the happenings in December but it turns out that at least two famous Armenian boxers have climbed even further up the ranks!
First, on December 8, 2007, German-based Arthur Abraham defeated Wayne Elcock in Switzerland by TKO, attaining a record of 25-0. Perfect! Back home, Vanes Martirosyan defeated Dan Wallace by TKO in the 1st round for a career record of 17-0!
Congratulations to our boxers! May they reach the pinnacles of their sports and make every Armenian proud, not to mention inspire a generation of other athletes!

HayEli - Black 24
The sometimes-hypocritical HayEli brings us this latest curse-filled song. I must say, I love it.
If you're at work, be warned that there is a lot of appropriate cursing in the video.
