Stat Whores

Let’s talk about bloggers who are OBSESSED with the blog stats. One category which I am going to talk about are the bloggers who only release a limited RSS feed where you can only see the first sentence of the post. Why do they do that? Bloggers who do it annoy me because they are [...]

Is it the absolute death of freedom of speech and expression in Jordan?

The headline might imply that there was freedom of speech in Jordan to begin with. There never was complete freedom and you would be in denial to think that you have/had freedom of speech.
