Hey, Honey, why wait? I can have some down to you in 20 minutes.
Long in the tooth pop culture reporterette no longer hip enuf for dat beat now engages in “editorial journalism” at a third tier newspaper trying valiantly to reverse decline readership.
Racial stereotypes as possible searing commentary? Refusal to consider thoughts contrary to reflexive leftist “philosophy”? Using lots of words to say nothing of significance? Unaware of how her closed mind warps her? That is D. Parvaz.
Ingrate and blithely unaware that the IRAN she left stones and hangs women — and where a woman’s word in court is valued at half of a man’s. And that the white men she derides die to prevent that system from oppressing other women in Afghanistan and Iraq and Kuwait.
Wrap it up mam. We know your type, too. It ain’t pretty.
Don't watch teeeveee anymore, but this sounds more like TV "investigative journalism" than "news," and educating parents that the Internet is not safe is bad... how?
There was a case recently in the greater Seattle area of a military official caught in exactly such a sting. Was that "voyeurism" or protection? (Okay, I don't think there was a video posted on teeeveee.)
The only "out" here is "major." This is from one of the two biggest Seattle newspapers.
May God help this country!
Surprised he didn't call them Poo Poo Heads? This guy gets paid to scribble this droll??

P-I reporter D. Parvaz can be reached at 206-448-8095 or dparvaz@seattle-pi.com
here’s a picture:

D. Parvaz, center, heats ingredients for a Chocolate Decadence recipe in a class at the Blue Ribbon Culinary School with Traca Savadogo at her side. Parvaz calls herself “the ultimate culinary reprobate,” but she survived the six-week program and learned to cook a little. (June 08, 2005)
Some background on her:
How fascinating to read today’s report in the Seattle P-I on the tremendous popularity, according to the Stranger, of the Stranger’s post-election issue. “We were all traumatized by the realization on Nov. 3 and the sense of estrangement from our own country and countrymen and we poured our hearts into this issue,” quoth the terribly earnest editor Dan Savage. (No mention by journalist D. Parvaz of the fact that the now-estranged Savage was loudly beating the drum for an Iraq invasion not long ago
Oh well, whatever gets the publicity machine running.) Indeed there appears to be quite a lot of mutual admiration between Ms. Parvaz and her friends at the Stranger.
Here, for example, is Stranger staffer David Schmader writing about Ms. Parvaz in his column: “The P-I’s wedding spread was spiced up by the presence of a piece on same-sex ceremonies, written by the far-more-interesting-than-she’s-ever-allowed-to-be-in-the- P-I D. Parvaz. From the joy of being married by your therapist (sure to become the lesbian commitment ceremony norm) to the klutziness of having to ask for two grooms on your cake, Parvaz’s piece chronicled the ups and downs of being a hetero-aping homo couple.”
Or there’s the time Ms. Parvaz took a turn writing Mr. Schmader’s column during the Seattle newspaper strike: “Last Days offers this hallowed space to striking (figuratively and literally) P-I writer D. Parvaz.
When she’s not sticking it to The Man, 29-year-old Parvaz is a general-assignment reporter for the Life & Art desk of the P-I. Thank you, Ms. Parvaz. “
Ms. Parvaz also likes to keep Mr. Schmader up to date on goings-on about town for his column: “This week brings a plethora of new reports, from an irritated barista’s account...to Seattle Post-Intelligencer writer D. Parvaz’s report of spotting the man downtown, where he approached a woman with a baby and inquired if she had any Vaseline for his neck wound.”
(A Stranger writer did once say something bad about Ms. Parvaz; fortunately he left the paper years ago.)
Thank goodness we have both Ms. Parvaz and the Stranger to keep us up to date on their mutually brilliant careers.

Here’s her brothers page. Her parents were rather brilliant, both kids named so as to have the initials DP

A deconstruction of some of her past “work”

In addition to bashing bush nonstop, she enjoys “thinking” critically about reports that bash America, “If you were uncertain as to how our awesome engine for spreading peace and democracy throughout the world is doing, wonder no more: We suck worse than a Sanjaya-Connie Chung duet.”

Another winner from Seattle
There are no images of D. Parvaz on the web but I understand she’s a real pig.
You will get NO argument here! Though of the highest water in drawing style, I don't bother even to see his latest online due to content. (But he comes nowhere near to my instant rejection of whatever is the latest stupid focus of doonesbury.)
I really miss Doug Marlett and "Kudzu"!
Parvaz isn’t doing badly with the English language for a functional illiterate. With a little luck she’ll be back in Iran soon and she won’t come back. If she takes the rest of the PI editorial board with her, no great loss.
Come out to Seattle (Redmond, WA). We can introduce you to many whom you will find absolutely charming. Christians, Bahai and Muslim, with all of these you will find people with graces that put many Americans to shame, people who are grateful to be living here, and anything but "freaks."
More unbiased journalism from Seattle’s MSM.
Post-intelligencer....hmmmmmm
one could take it that it means “after intelligence” ...which to me tells it all...
ummm wouldnt “after intelligence” come stupid?
If you don’t think critically and fully explore the statistics, you might just be a liberal columnist.
Kerry received only 3% more of the female vote and 11% less of white women’s vote. He only received 9% more of the Latino vote and %12 of the Asian vote.
He was most popular and had more votes only among people under 28.
If you’re broke, you voted Kerry, though he makes more than Bush (scratch that, married into more money and has access to more money), but gives less to charity.
One of the few people still in a union? Yup, the union told you to vote democrat and you did.
No high school education? Voted Kerry, admittedly by a small margin.
First time voters.
Jewish and no religion.
Didn’t serve in the military?
Not married?
Gay, Lesbian?
Decided who to vote for in the last week, day?
Thought a guy who had 20yrs in the senate but accomplished next to nothing would bring about change?
Thought someone who Bush outperformed academically was more Intelligent (that’s not your fault, he withheld his college grads until after the election...ha ha, you were duped). If you had lower grades in college than, including in the same class, and also on the military entrance exam, but still think you’re a genius, you might be Kerry. And if you think you voted for the smarter guy despite these facts, you might a Kerry voter.
Strongly disapproved of the decision to go to war, yet voted for a guy who made that possible? If you think Bush lied but support Kerry, Clinton, Edwards, Pelosi or Reid, who all said Iraq was a threat, had WMDs and voted for War in Iraq, you just might be a Kerry supporter.
Voted against Bush, but not really for the guy you voted for?
Iraq not part of the war on terrorism, even though the intelligence community says it is as do the terrorists themselves?
Think government solves problems? (name one).
Not too worried or not at all worried about terrorism?
Thought the tax cuts were bad for the economy? (wow were you off on that one).
Live in an urban community? Correlation between living in the highest murder rates in the country (Baltimore, Detroit, New Orleans) and voting for dems, even though they’ve controlled said cities for decades and done nothing to reverse course, unlike NYC?
If you received a call on election day, were told the day to vote was changed and believed it, you just might be a Kerry supporter.
Maybe a little pissy b/c you lost your job, have no healthcare, and the job situation sucks in your community?
Yup, you are a Kerry liberal, clueless, depressed, and projecting all your problems onto Bush. It’s called BDS, see your local therapist and start taking control of your life.

I am happy to say you are wrong. I have worked with ex-pat Iranians at a BIG aerospace company and a BIG software company who are wonderful people. They have family "back there" and we have been on pins-and-needles making sure everyone is okay.
Ok on the first 3, but on what does she base Bush being supported by "slightly stupid" people? How about the howls of protest if someone described Charles Rangel's supporters as black, female, middle aged and slightly stupid?
Why pollute my beloved board so?
Except for the requisite cretin who clams that Bush "shredded the constitution" and "illegally wiretapped" citizens. I know it's just a liberal reflex to vomit this drivel out like a parrot, but please I need ONE example.
By any chance were her parents brother and sister?
