(H/T to MM) Could Iranian President Mahmoud Amadinejad invitation to speak at Coulumbia University have been a quid pro quo?
The president of Columbia University is expressing relief that a Columbia alumnus was released from an Iranian prison — just days before the Iranian president is scheduled to speak at Columbia University.
Dr. Kian Tajbakhsh, who works for George Soros’s Open Society Institute, was one of several Iranian-Americans detained by Iran for allegedly conspiring against Iran’s national security.
Tajbakhsh was freed on bail last Thursday. Iranian President Mahmoud Amadinejad is speaking at Columbia on Monday, and the invitation for him to appear on campus has drawn widespread condemnation from politicians and ordinary Americans, who view Amadinejad as an enemy of the United States and Israel.

“The Great Global Warming Swindle”

I never had nearly naked teachers
Playboy is far from being pornographic unless one thinks the nude female form per se is obscene, which it is not, unless you are Muslim of course. It is interesting to note that very few non-Muslim feminists bother to attack Islam for its misogynism.

What should we do about Ahmadinejad? Let the world see the truth
I admit I was pretty incensed about Ahmadinejad and his request to visit the 9/11 ground zero site. To me that was only slightly less tacky then letting in Ladin do the same thing.
