More Kaloogian Fun - It Just Keeps Getting Better

Brian Zick

Markos and Tpm Muckraker report 1) Kaloogian posts photo on his website, alleging to show the "peaceful" Baghdad, Iraq, which now exists, but which has gone unreported by the terrorist lovers of the press. 2) Photo is proven to be Istanbul, Turkey, not Baghdad, Iraq. 3) Replacement photo of actual Baghdad is inscrutable long shot, devoid of any meaningful detail which might be employed as evidence to support any contention of peacefulness or the absence thereof. 4) Kaloogian concedes that "now" really means last July 2005, when the replacement photo was actually taken. update: Brad at Sadly, No observes, "Because no horse is worth beating unless it's totally dead"

The text is from the poem “QUADRENNIAL” by Golden, reprinted with permission. It was first published in the Poetry Project. Inside front cover photo by Golden.
