by Anil Polat | Nov 8, 2006 | Culture | 4

As if it wasn’t bad enough, the Wizards losing to the Orlando Magic 106-103 the other night. Hedo Turkoglu (one of the 3) Turkish players in the NBA gave [mah boy] Gilbert Arenas a nasty elbow to the face.

From the Washington Post:

Guard Gilbert Arenas was wearing a bandage over his right eye yesterday, the result of an errant elbow thrown by Orlando’s Hedo Turkoglu on Monday night.

After which Hedo said in a bad accent,

haha, take that black man! You like? I liiike!

Then Hedo showed him a good ol’ Turkish “middle” finger.

By the way, Turkoglu had 18 points and the other starting Turk in the league (Mehmet Okur in Utah) had a double double – 23 points and 10 rebounds.

Gilbert? Well apparently there was a fight in the locker room after the game – he had 24.

Bujur, Antwan Jamison had 29 points 10 rebounds. Al, there you go…

Coming Soon – Army Stories

I’m not sure how, whether it be directly on L’avant Poste, or if I will create a separate site for them. From day 1 on I’ll have a little post about the types of things I did and encountered during my stint in the army.

I’ll also include FAQs (frequently asked questions) and there will be pictures as well. If there is anything you yourself are interested in knowing (how did we poop or what were the showers like) comment them below and I’ll make sure to include them.

If you have any other ideas write those too. So stay tuned, most likely I’ll get something up by this weekend.

Freedom of Speech Activist Arrested in Egypt

Not a very shocking headline, granted it is Egypt.

My sister received this email and you can read about the efforts one of her classmates is making help her friend and journalist Kareem Amer.

He was arrested and thrown out of his university because he wrote about secularism on his blog. Imagine that, being arrested for writing on your blog about you government, society, or personal ideas.

Let’s hope that this doesn’t become common here in the US – and hopefully not where you are in the world either.
