On health care in Iraq
Health care – or “Obamacare” – is still a buzz word around here. Though having been out of the country for two months, and completely shutting myself off from American politics, I knew that the tension of the healthcare reform… continue reading »
Happy (belated) America Day from Iraq
It’s fun celebrating an American holiday abroad. I highly recommend it. I love that no one understood why we ran to the basement Ferdos market to find sparklers; or why we made a makeshift American flag and saluted to it.… continue reading »
Life in Iraq: education
Yesterday afternoon, Claire and I visited Zeba and Amir in their office, two floors below the Preemptive Love office. One of Zeba’s friends was at their shop and we conversed with him about womanhood in Iraq, life in Texas, PLC,… continue reading »

[Another attempt to find myself politically. Here’s to being a left-winger. *Cheers!*] Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I’m on my dad’s 2000 IBM PC. Imagine what it was like to surf the web 8 years ago. Yes, it’s that bad. My dad,… continue reading »
who is number one.
I’m glad my view of politics have been shallow for the past few elections. In fifth grade we had “mock-elections” for the 2000 presidental campaign: Bush vs. Gore. I remember my social studies teacher made Bush sound like this amazing… continue reading »
