Yesterday when I got home my wife gave me a glass of water. I drank it and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and placed the empty glass on the counter and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and sat down on the couch and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and turned on the TV and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and changed the channel and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and indicated I was no longer thirsty and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and said no more water and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and screamed put your listening ears on and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and said why so much water and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and got up from the couch and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and said the next glass coming my way will be broken and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and started going towards the bathroom and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and said here I'm gonna pee and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and said I must escape as I ran towards the front door and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and tripped over the carpet and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and said why are you doing this and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it as I lay helpless on the ground with a bruised elbow and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and cried for help and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and remembered the day when I saw Dancing with Wolves in the theaters and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and tried to wrestle her hand off of my mouth and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and tried to spit the water out and then without saying a word she gave me another glass of water. I drank it and then she shot me in the face.

At 12:00 PM on Saturday, October 28, 2023, in honor of Cyrus the Great Day, you are invited to our unveiling of a monumental statue of Cyrus the Great at the Millennium Gate dedicated to liberty, justice and peace. Cyrus the Great, founder of the Achaemenid empire, upon liberating Babylon, freed the slaves, established racial equality and rights for women, declared that all people had the right to choose their own religion and returned their various gods to their shrines. He also helped the Jews build The Second Temple. According to the Book of Isaiah, Cyrus was anointed by God as a messiah for these actions, the only non-Jewish figure to be revered in this capacity. Iranian and Jewish peoples share an ancient bond of friendship that modern Islamic fanaticism has tried (and failed) to destroy. Remembering the past is a powerful perspective for shaping the future; one where diverse peoples and cultures live together in freedom and harmony.  Cyrus the Great’s decrees wer
No one knows exactly why 29-year-old Iranian costume design student Mahtab Savoji turned up dead in the Venice lagoon last week. Her body, nude except for a string of pearls around her neck, got tangled up between two water taxi drivers near the Via Cipro dock in Venice Lido on January 28. After fishing the corpse out of the lagoon, a Venetian coroner determined that the woman—then unidentified—had been strangled to death at least 24 hours before her body was thrown into the murky water. Her lungs did not contain water from the Venice lagoon, and her body showed no apparent signs of violence other than strangulation. But no one knew who she was or why she was there. Meanwhile, 250 miles away, the day after the mysterious body floated to the surface of the lagoon, Savoji’s friends in Milan—where she had shared an apartment with two hospitality workers from India since November—were starting to get worried. Savoji hadn’t been answering her cellphone, which wasn’t like
Mrs. Smith's birthday was right around the corner but with Mr. Smith losing his job money was tight. Everyone wanted to buy a perfect gift for her but with her being the only breadwinner they couldn't ask her for money to buy her own present. The family debated what to do and finally arrived at a solution. On the morning of her birthday, everyone gathered around her bed as she woke up. They passed a shoebox forward that was decorated with drawings and flashy colors. Mrs. Smith opened the shoebox and peered inside. Multiple strips of paper were there and one by one she picked them up and began reading them. "When times are good and when they’re bad, you’re the best wife I could ever have. From our first date, I knew that I was going to spend the rest of my life with you. Glad to know I was right. When you blow out your candles and make wishes, I hope that they all come true. Happy birthday, sweetheart. -John" "Mothers are the greatest gift that anyo
