I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

And things are just peachy in Iraq....

...or so says Ann Coulter on the O’Reilly Factor.

Well DC Media Girl tells us that Larry Johnson wants to give her an opportunity to prove it.
After watching the stupidity and arrogance of Ann Coulter on the O’Reilly Factor (thanks to Crooks and Liars), it seems to me we ought to challenge Ann to put her body where her mouth is. I’ll pay for her to travel business class to Baghdad and stay there for a week, but on these conditions:

  • When she arrives at the airport she must take a public taxi.

  • She cannot hire a bodyguard or security detail.

  • And, most important of all, she must stay at a hotel outside of the Green Zone and eat at a different restaurant everynight using public transportaton (i.e., a taxi).

If she’s right, that things are going well and are safer today than one year ago, I say go show us. Maybe FOX News will assign one of their intrepid cheerleaders, oops, I mean correspondents, to accompany Ann and show the world that a new day has dawned in Iraq.

For an idea of what the Toxic Twig will find in Iraq you can check out Juan Cole's Sunday rundown.
