Posted by paty | November 10, 2011, 3:16 pmGreat piece. Was laughing the whole way through it.
Posted by Ras Beirut | November 10, 2011, 9:59 pm….A moment in the memory of those who sacrificed their lives to afford us the freedom we enjoy today.
Posted by danny | November 11, 2011, 7:36 amLOL, great stuff, haven’t laughed about these guys since … well, I’ve never laughed about these guys. I just wish someone from Hezbollah would have tweeted too!
Posted by Rime | November 11, 2011, 6:50 pmwell done to you both, that was great
Posted by joseph | November 11, 2011, 8:36 pmGreat fun QN thanks for the laugh… on another subject heres a quote from Al Akhbar about the “celebration” that took place at the Je’eeta entrance after losing the bid to be listed as one of the World Wonders
في البداية كان هناك عاملتان سمراوان جميلتان، تلتقطان الصور الفوتوغرافية، قرب البالونات. لوّحتا بالأعلام اللبنانية بلا كلل. وكان مؤسفاً، أن المسؤولين طلبوا منهما في مرحلة لاحقة، توزيع القمصان البيضاء، التي كتب عليها «جعيتا»، على الحاضرين. وعندما استفسرنا، علمنا أنهما لا تعملان في المغارة، وليستا من الموظفات هناك. وقد طلب منهما أن تعملا استخفافاً بجنسيتهما.
This is what Lebanon and the Lebanese (not just their politicians) should be recognized for.
Posted by Vulcan | November 11, 2011, 9:26 pmSo the Arab League did manage to find its vertebra and freeze Syrian membership. It is becoming clearer each day that this Syrian regime has no interest in introducing any meaningful reforms but instead wants to buy time in order to liquidate its opposition. What the Bath does not recognize is that the opposition is the majority.
As we have said many times before the Bath has already lost , even if it manages to stay in power. Who would have dared suggest to Bashar eight months ago: adopt a completely new Syrian constitution, have a free multiparty system, have regularly scheduled parliamentary elections and hold presidential elections .? The Bath cannot reform itself to become what it is not built to be and so no dictatorship can become a genuine democracy.
Bashar might have to celebrate the New Year in a Medireanean island. That would be the greatest New Year celebration for the Syrian people in general and for the Homsis in particular. How does one acquire a Homsi citizenship/:-)
Posted by Ghassan Karam | November 12, 2011, 11:52 amAnd how ironic it would be if the lion of Syria was brought down by the Homsees. Add to that the fact of Steve Jobs’ fathers origin, and the Arab version of the Irishman becomes the pride of the region.
Posted by maverick | November 13, 2011, 2:41 amVulcan,
So true!
50 years of civil education is required before Lebanese start to grasp the civil rights of others (so that they have a chance to understand theirs).
Hopeless…
Posted by IHTDA | November 13, 2011, 2:55 amMaverick,
That is a wonderful insight. Mr. Jobs is 50% Homsi and so the smart phone as a subversive tool is not alien at all in Syria. Bravo.
Posted by Ghassan Karam | November 13, 2011, 2:05 pmHow sad the shameful stance of Lebanon vis a vis the Syrian issue at the Arab League.
And ever sadder the comments made by Mikati and Suleiman on the matter.
I’m not a big fan of Hariri, but his statement today rings true. Lebanon is officially siding with murder and oppression.
Posted by Bad Vilbel | November 13, 2011, 6:18 pm@G.K I think u have reqs, courage, intellect, & wit. ask Aboud for app #HOMSI #CITIZENSHIP @ABOUD

I did speak to this issue in a longer post a few hours ago:

Syrian Hamster,
Thanks.
Posted by Ghassan Karam | November 13, 2011, 9:58 pmThanks Gus. Good write up.
Also. This brought to mind QN’s Twitter parody…Not too far off, I guess.

Posted by Bad Vilbel | November 14, 2011, 5:50 pmOn the subject of Twitter… I believe Saad Harriri has been more eloquent, direct and relevant via Twitter remarks than all his speeches, interviews, and political rants during his tenure.
I think he found his niche!
Posted by Maverick | November 14, 2011, 6:10 pmRe: 33…Off course as most likely someone else is “tweeting” for him..:D
Posted by danny | November 14, 2011, 6:20 pmHahaha, this is amazing! Qifa Nabki and Maya Zankoul collaborations are brilliant and should probably be a weekly installment!
Posted by Elizabeth | November 15, 2011, 11:08 pmLOL!! 😀 You guys rock! That’s the best Timeline ever!! 😀
