Tonight: You might have heard that there’s a lot of shit going down in the Middle East right now. You might have even said to yourself, “There’s a lot of shit going down in the Middle East and I don’t understand it.” Tonight smart people who understand the shit going down in the Middle East—who are, in fact, the experts—will tell you what’s going on in Libya, Egypt, Tunisia.
Faculty from the UW’s Jackson School of International Studies and their buxom Ukrainian nurses will be on hand at panel at Town Hall tonight to answer your broad Middle-East-related questions, fill you in on hundreds of years’ worth of back story, and tell you how all this unrest and upheaval affects the US and the world.
(The Changing Middle East, Town Hall, 1119 8th Ave, from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m., $5 at the door or online.)
AND bahrain! why the fuck won’t you journalists write about bahrain? there’s a popular uprising there, against one of the most despotic gov’ts in the world, but who would ever know it, thanks to the silence of 99% of the media outlets.
