发帖数: 29846 | 1 A Book Review by DICK MORRIS of Pinheads and Patriots by Bill O'Reilly
Published on DickMorris.com on November 21, 2010
Is Obama a socialist? A Muslim? Anti-American? Pro-Palestinian? Or just
a
man who is right sometimes and wrong most of the time? Bill O'Reilly opts
for the second option in his new book Pinheads and Patriots.
Bill rigorously focuses on what President Obama does, not on who he is. He
refuses to speculate about motivation, preferring instead the more solid
ground of ob... 阅读全帖 |

the winner of the first "Confucius Peace Prize" didn't even bother to show

The heartbreaking saga of Zhu Ling
By Kevin Morris
In a grainy, black-and-white video of her final performance, Zhu Ling sweeps
across the stage in a black skirt and white blouse before taking a seat
behind a guqin, the six-stringed Chinese zither. She's been feeling sick
recently, and you can tell she's a little nervous. But her fingers are
precise. They pluck out a cautious melody.
Zhu has no idea she's been poisoned.

法国记者称因批评中国对维族政策面临被驱逐
傅才德 2015年12月23日
香港——一名法国记者说，在写了一篇文章批评中国对待少数民族维吾尔人的态度后，
她现在可能将被逐出中国。那篇文章引发国家掌控下的媒体的严厉指责，以及一名政府
发言人的公开驳斥和铺天盖地的网络谩骂。
这名记者叫高洁(Ursula Gauthier)，是新闻杂志《新观察家》(L'Obs)的驻京记者。如
果记者证件得不到续签，她必须在1月1日之前离开中国。证件续签是数以百计的外国驻
华记者都要经历的一个常规程序，通常在11月和12月初进行。高洁在接受采访时说，截

如果被迫离开，高洁将是半岛电视台(Al Jazeera)英语记者陈嘉韵(Melissa Chan)离开
中国之后，首位被中国驱逐的外国记者。2012年，在报道了强制圈地和被称为“黑监狱

The Obama Record: The most frightening aspect of this president may not be
his radical ideology but his rank dishonesty in selling that ideology. Now
he's been caught lying about family racism.
In "Dreams from My Father," his 1995 memoir, Obama used the story of his
paternal grandfather's imprisonment and torture at the hands of British
colonists in Kenya as an example of white cruelty. He claimed Hussein

Sometimes societies find themselves in pernicious cycles in which the
perceived medicine seems worse than the known disease. The Roman satirist
Juvenal lamented the ill effects of free food and free entertainment for the
masses (“bread and circuses”) in part because he knew there was no remedy
for the pathology in sight — and thus only a slow decline toward fiscal
insolvency or riots were on the horizon. Any Roman emperor bold enough to

以前转过一篇讨论作家骂人的文章，比较长……：
西方的文人相轻
陆谷孙
这儿要介绍的是2009年由英国弗兰西斯·林肯有限公司出版的《笔端溅毒：从埃米斯到
左拉，文坛出言伤人大观》（Poisoned Pens: Literary Invective from Amis to
Zola）。这是一本关于欧美文坛作家贬评、苛责甚至谩骂其他作家的书，施事者凡两百
四十八人；受事者，或用大白话说，挨骂者一百四十四人。此乃笔者采用最原始的笨办
法，从正文之后的索引中计数所得。全书按时序分五大阶段：古典时代、奥古斯汀时代
（十八世纪）、浪漫主义时代、维多利亚时代和现代主义时代。
嫉妒、睥睨、奋矜、歹毒、以人之卑自高、同行相轻——这些可能是人性弱点冲破世俗
禁锢迟早非暴露不可的恶，表现在作家的笔墨官司里，有时严肃，言类悬河，让当事人
颡汗泠泠若雨；有时轻薄，黄口号嗄，显得孩子气十足。本文暂时撇开古代大家如苏格
