Another Special Season for the Big Papi

Free speech in Turkey; torture in America

The acquittal of the Turkish novelist, Elif Shafak, on charges of “insulting Turkishness” is good news for free speech. But the very fact that Ms Shafak could face such a charge is damaging to Turkey’s international image and reveals the tensions within the country.

Ms Shafak is a novelist - and one of the characters in her book, The Bastard of Istanbul, made a reference to the Armenian genocide. That was enough to land her in court. The case is an echo of another unsuccessful prosecution last year of Orhan Pamuk, Turkey’s most famous novelist. continue

For The Friday Prayer

Mr. Nasrallah, if you pursue this march than you are Fucking Wrong, and you represent a System/(Lebanese) Government that is utterly Fucking Wrong. And the rest of us are complete idiots of the highest caliber to put up with you all.

A State of Mind Our Lebanon is

Pope-shmope (That's all it needs to be said about that)

And all you religious pompous asses can shove it. (There is no REASON to argue with any of you freaks)

This weekend’s trip to the Bekaa proved to me that our retarded sisterly neighbors from the North and East (including Arabia), and our asshole cousins from the South will never leave us the fuck be. (Flash-news: Our country is sold to the highest bidder)

And as usual, the problem (enemy) is and always will be from within.

And what was exactly Bachir’s dream when he was murdering (and ordering the murder of) innocents by the troves?

And we keep hanging huge Posters of Thieves and sons of Thieves, Murderers, bearded Freaks, and last but not least, incompetent Bastards in our downtown and other city streets.

And, and, and...(I am not perfect)

Having said all that, I hope to bid all the freaks a fare well. (wherever your final destination may be)

Too little, Too Late...

Nah, it's never too late:

Regarding the Turkish Troops…

I personally don’t have any objections to the Turkish troops in the South.



In fact, I believe the Turkish troops will become easier targets for our Tashnag heroes in Bourj-Hammoud (lame joke, I condone no such thing).

Actually, the Turks are welcome as long as they bring with them Ulker chocolates and contestants (Seni Seviyorem to the tall Announcer and former dancer Judge) from the Oryantal Star.

Thus Spake Sarcasm-thustra

Today’s entry is nothing special, it’s about ME. (no not the region)

I do declare that I have nothing to complain about. As long as I block out few facts and some realities, it’s all fine and dandy. (I’ve never taken drugs. I wonder why)

Then I woke up.

The “internets” are screwy in my country.

I give and expect nothing in return, but I do. (oh the shame of it all)

I dislike hypocrites, but occasionally I sure can be one fine example.

Do I want to change myself and the society I choose to live in? You bet your ass I do, but I don’t have the tool sets. (At least I don’t think I do)

I want to get married and have kids sometime in the next, oh I don’t know, LIFE. (where the heck is she, are supplies low of the “right” one, or is she my next door neighbor?)

I don’t believe in reincarnation.

The Red Sox are down the tubes this year and life is HELL

Why the heck do I blog? Why do you even care? Why do I care about your blog?

I’m self employed and there is promise of “a lot of nothing to do” until god knows when. (I’m open to suggestions. Nah, not really. Keep you thoughts to yourself, or better yet, blog about it.)

To the Lebanese/Syrian/Iran/Israeli/US governments a whole hearted fuck you for all your efforts. Fuck you for your goodwill and help in ridding the terrorists of this world. And a sincere fuck you in advance for all your efforts and goodwill in the future.

P.S. I am off to a drinking binge. (chill out, I'm not. Unless, you are willing to join)

Peace, Propaganda & The Promised Land

I didn't want to watch this documentary at first. I have seen far too many images of heinous behavior by the Illegal Israeli military occupation of Palestine. I have seen far to many images of the inhumanness by the Israelis, often wanting not to believe what I've seen. However, this documentary is a must see. I hope those Lebanese bloggers with more popular blogs will incorporate this video on their blogs. This documentary must be seen by every American so they may understand, so they may get an inkling of what their hard earned tax money is being spent on. Americans believe in checks and balances. Americans respect and believe in justice. Dear Americans, Israeli Military force goes about destroying fellow humans will to live without impunity, without the necessary checks and balances. Please understand dear Americans, if there is no justice for Palestinians, Israelis and some of us who call this region home will never see peace. And you can bet your bottom dollar that acts of violence will reach your boarders no matter how many guards you employ. After watching this video, do reflect; do ask questions, but ask the right questions. Don’t ask why they hate us? Instead, ask what are we doing (or not doing) to cause them to hate us? If you let the situation in Palestine go on as is, God may have mercy on your souls.

State of Mind, State of Reality

I think the current situation in Lebanon can best be explained as such:

"...as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones."

Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization

By Bradley Burston

The NEW Lebanon

YES to Hezbollah the Political Body
NO, and million times NO to its military wing
ENOUGH is ENOUGH (hat tip to Raja)

What Can I do?

War of Others, Once again.

According to Seymor Hersh Lebanon, as usual, is a stage for other wars to come.

If you haven't read his last New Yorker article, please do so. Here is a primer.

"The surprising strength of Hezbollah’s resistance, and its continuing ability to fire rockets into northern Israel in the face of the constant Israeli bombing, the Middle East expert told me, “is a massive setback for those in the White House who want to use force in Iran. And those who argue that the bombing will create internal dissent and revolt in Iran are also set back." continue

The Final Countdown

Dear Prime Minister Siniora:

Thank you for your letter in the Washington Post, and for all your efforts of the past four weeks. However, you have one last option remaining because the U.N. as an institution is no longer of any consequence. You have one last step left in your arsenal of good will and intentions in convincing the majority of Lebanese and the Israelis.

My suggestion:
Charter one of Lebanon’s ancient helicopters and fly down to Tel Aviv. Sit with your counterpart and try to convince them that Lebanese are serious in protecting the border on both sides. Go on their TV stations and try to convince them that this is their last chance to the idea of peaceful coexistence. Come back to Beirut and give the Israelis one week to decide. If they decide that they cannot trust us the Lebanese and insist on occupation, humiliation and destruction of our country, then we (the collective Lebanese) have to make the final decision on how to proceed.

Those who do not wish to participate in this final phase, will be given time to leave on both sides and we’ll have to settle this once and for all.

Because I am sure all of us agree that we will no longer tolerate a long drawn out occupation of a centimeter of our soil. Or will we??????
