...Editorial Page. Bitingly sardonic and bereft of thoughtful reasoning, the Herald’s editorial page is where inane arguments go to die. I give the opinion page some leeway since it’s the one spot where pontification is to be expected. But the soapbox shouldn’t be an invitation for the patently ridiculous. A post-election political cartoon featured an obese Ted Kennedy asking an equally rotund Michael Moore “Are we twins?” while a caricatured Jesse Jackson goes off on a nonsensical diatribe/rap about black oppression...

He delivers a similarly dual message in Lli Fat Mat (The Past Is the Past), urging listeners to embrace tradition for its richness rather than cling to it out of resentment or fear. "Turn the page. Forget the pain/ Be yourself, and make life a poem," Taha sings...
