“Burned Out”

Hitchens’ call for “a brisk war on the weasel word ‘fuel’ ”  by way of a commentary on a New York Times article about Iranian concealment of their nuclear program from inspectors. Really, a version of “Who’s on First?” - Hitchens style.

Check out this line, “Plain and uncontroverted evidence is seized upon by those who characterize as true something that nobody has the nerve to deny.”  What?

New Learning: A slang term for cocaine is “Bolivian marching powder.”

New word: janjaweed = armed, Arab tribal horseman in the Darfur section of Sudan.
