Basil got the electricity figured out … They use poles to sling wires across in NY.
I wonder if the president would be able to take a present I like to send Aoun. It’s a special 14D sunglasses.

so the first lady has come out from the woodwork…. no one is hearing anything from her…isn’t she supposed to be working for a social cause or something after her husband became president?….el 3ama everybody in lebanon seems to be contented to recieve money without putiing the hard yakka in.

anyway

so the president going to NY…and anywhere else for that matter…to do what? lie to the international community that his country is not going to step outside its commitments and that lebann is an independent sovereign country that gives promises it can keep?…..well everybody knows that’s not right….then why is the president going there for? oh yes….it’s because of protocol since lebanon is going to head the UN for a month…..

this visit will be an embaressment for him more then to anyone else i rekon, he should stay in lebanon and wait until the ‘storm” clears out…to save face nothing more.

Just like Ziad El-Ra7bani said “min 3amoud la 3amoud, ra7 y’saffi be sherkit elkahraba” “Ibnik 7mar ya Surayya, hewweh zakeh bas… 7mar” Needless to say, this of course pertains to Basil!!
