From Baghdad To Doraville: The war in Iraqi comes to America
This week's Creative Loafing tells the story of Ahmad Ali, an Iraqi journalist forced from his Baghdad home by the violence and chaos spawned by the U.S. invasion."The insurgents came to my house, so I moved very far away and rented a room. I was pretending to be a taxi driver; I could not say I was a journalist or translator.
Again they came to my house and they killed the son of the owner of the house on my doorstep."

One of my favorite comedy writers is a journalist
From ATLMalcontent:
But back to Gay History Month. I plan on networking with the other members of the Gay, Lesbian, Transgendered, Bisexual, Bi-curious and Gay-friendly Diversity Coordinators Association to brainstorm over when and how Gay History Month should be celebrated. For that matter, there should also be a Lesbian History Month, a Transgendered History Month, Bisexual History Month and Bi-Curious History Month. We're here, we're bi, gay-friendly and queer, and we won't be satisfied until we are properly recognized with a month, and it better not be one with less than 31 days!

I need your help, fast
Have you recently or persistently suffered discrimination because of your appearance?
Do you think people treat you badly because of the way you look, dress or groom yourself?
Are you an experienced restaurant or bar server passed up for jobs at trendy restaurants because you don’t look like a model?
If so, give me a call at 404-614-1888 or e-mail me at andisheh@creativeloafing.com. I’m working on a story for which you might be able to help.

SHOCK: America has run out of art!
America has run out of art. There's clearly none left.
There's no other possible explanation for the following exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.:

Portraits of Sandra Day O’Connor
March 30 through Oct. 8, 2007View slideshow
“Portraits of Sandra Day O’Connor” celebrates the art of portraiture by considering how a group of artists – The Painting Group – interprets the same subject – Sandra Day O’Connor – at the same time. The Painting Group, a New York-based group of 25 artists led by watercolorist and caricaturist David Levine and portrait painter Aaron Shikler, has been meeting regularly for 40 years. In October 2006, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor sat for the Painting Group for a full-day session with the artists. The exhibition includes the 25 portraits of O’Connor completed by the artists following that sitting.

I, cock-blocker
From Creative Loafing Tampa:
I wanted to engage the three University of Tampa cheerleaders seated at the far end of the bar. They drank their pints of beer through straws. Spoke in loud, cute voices about Sex in the City. But we never talked. I never even got to make eye contact with any of them. Nope, spent my post-work hour at The Retreat apologizing for the writing style of CL columnist Andisheh Nouraee.The nature of my offense? It appears at least one Tampa bar-goer finds my writing style overly ornate:
The Stranger -- a middle-age fellow -- wasn't your average bar fly. In fact, in my decade of frequenting drinking establishments, I had never before heard anyone at a pub drop a word like "filigree," which The Stranger used in critiquing Nouraee's column.
