Søppelfrustert bonde knuste konkurrentene – med øks!
Altfor seint, men forhåpentligvis bedre enn aldri: Fjorårets teiteste overskrift er kåra!
Sjette utgave av medie-Norges teiteste kåring er intet mindre enn historisk. For første gang har vi en vinner som faktisk gjorde sitt teiteste med vitende og vilje. Som journalisten selv skriver om sitt mesterverk:
“Den er litt tullete og tabloid, kanskje, men av og til er det lov å la seg friste, også i Nationen”.
I nakendrakt
«Pølsa» sprakk, en psykolog er hovedmistenkt etter «tiger»-funn i Bjørgen-senga og Jennifer Lopez gnikka seg opp mot Pitbull. I nakendrakt, må vite. Nei, dette er ikke et referat fra skilandslagets nyttårsfest, men ei oversikt over noen av fjorårets teiteste overskrifter.

Under president Barack Obama, some of the ugliest practices of his predecessor, George W. Bush are about to be signed into law. The National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA) allows for indefinite military detention of terrorism suspects without trial, and will make it all but impossible to close Guantanamo. How’s that for hope and change?
Ventetida er over!
Mine damer og herrer, blåruss og brødnisser, mosetusser og assorterte nissetufser! Ventetida er over!
Neida, kristenhetens største høytid ringes heller ikke i år inn før 24. desember. Startskuddet for medie-Norges teiteste kåring går derimot, tradisjonen tro, temmelig nøyaktig … derr!
Change we can believe in?
After the demilitarization of the Burmese government, many – especially outside the country – has hoped and believed that something was changing in Burma. That real democratic reform was finally on its way. And, granted, there have been some small reforms. A few short, faltering steps in the right direction. Such as the so-called prisoner amnesty on 12. October.
However, while less than 300 political prisoners have been released, more than 1000 still suffer in Burmese jails. The laws that put them behind bars are still in place. So are the very people who made and enforced these laws.

Out of the frying pan
When blind legal activist Chen Guangcheng was released from prison a year ago, it seems he was lifted from the frying pan of the Chinese prison system only to be dropped into a devastating fire fueled by house arrest and brutal raids on his family.
