What does it take to become a fancy columnist at the fancy Middle East Eye?
Apparently just a Twitter account and at least one finger or toe to punch baseless, brain-dead theories into your iPhone 666/SatanBook Pro.
You think we are being playful but you are terribly mistaken.
CJ Werleman, a columnist for the Middle East Eye, is a very serious person — he even has one of those blue things next to his Twitter name — with very serious thoughts:
New York Post columnist John Podhoretz said it was “interesting that the bomb blasts in Petersburg come so hard upon the demonstrations.” (h/t RT)
To quote Anatoly Karlin: "Standard response to terrorist attacks in Russia: Westerners try to blame Putin while Putin tries to avoid blaming Islam, just like Westerners."
Nothing ever changes.
