For readers who’ve yet to surf their way over to Registan.net, this post on Syria was just featured on MSNBC. You’ll recall that not long ago Curzon’s questions were posed on CSPAN to Robert Kaplan and Kaplan was later told about the actual site Cominganarchy.com
Many thanks to Political Teen for capturing and hosting the the video.
About Chirol
Sir Ignatius Valentine Chirol (1852 - 1929) was a journalist, prolific author, world historian, and British diplomat. He began his career as a foreign correspondent and later became editor of the London Times. After two decades as a journalist he joined Her Majesty's Foreign Ministry as a diplomat and was subsequently knighted for his distinguished service as a foreign affairs advisor. Additionally, he wrote a dozen books on foreign affairs including
The Far Eastern Question (1896),
Serbia and the Serbs (1914),
The End of the Ottoman Empire (1920) and
The Egyptian Problem (1921). He is generally credited with popularizing "Middle East" in reference to the Arabian Peninsula with his book
The Middle Eastern Question (1903).
"Chirol" is a US citizen and graduate student studying Defense and Strategic Studies and government contractor. As with the historical Chirol, he has traveled to over two dozen countries and lived abroad for many years. Chirol speaks English and German fluently with basic knowledge of manyl of others.
It must be the new design! It’s very 1800′s retrosexual!
Hm, it’s nice that you made it on MSNBC, but it’s a shame it had to be on such a BORING segment! There was a similar “read websites aloud” feature yesterday on CNN as well. LAME!
I was surprised myself that the feature consisting of reading websites aloud though it was done from a fellow blogger at Winds of Change which I also read. Living abroad, I didn’t even know this type of stuff was on the US news. Interesting in many regards for me! I guess the networks are trying to be up to speed and hip by jumping on teh blogging bandwagon. Anyone know what time that show was?
Welcome to the world of blogging elite. Enjoying the rarified air? ;-)
We’ll know that we’ve TRULY made it when we’re featured on The Daily Show.
I just watched the video. It’s great that you guys got a plug, but holy shit, these tv networks need to hire some JOURNALISTS! Maybe they should stop by a newspaper someday and see how it’s done.
Dude, totally agreed. WhoTF is that woman?? She is so not ready for prime time.
She says she’s a blogger at Winds of Change but she needs to take a few classes on public speaking. Her name is Robin Burk and here’s a link about the show where CA was featured. RandomProbablities has more.
