Room 237 Redux or Room 237 Hit: From a room number in the Rotana Hotel (Dubai) and the Overlook Hotel we found disturbing similarities of life-almost-imitating-art in the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhoub.  Ridiculous and chilling all at the same time, we found echoes from The Shining, the hilarious Oktoberfest hit scene in The Pink Panther Strikes Again, The Keystone Cops and numerous episodes of Monty Python's Flying Circus.  Were these killers all fans?

Sacrificialism

Sacrificialism: The sad but important portmanteau of sacrifice and journalism. Apparently researched in depth and at great risk by the great expository journalist Terry Gould. Mr. Gould made a recent appearance on Book TV discussing his great work Marked for Death (American Title) before the CPJ. Mr. Gould discussed the international problem of local journalists facing death threats and dying for their reporting on corrupt regimes in such places as; the Phillipines, Colombia, Irag, Russia... Mr. Gould's dialogue boiled down to the essential fact that local journalists were/are sacrificing their own lives in order to inspire others to pick up their fight against corruption through reporting.
