On a Serious Note

Click here or here for scary international rumors, which you probably all heard about on Inauguration Day. Do we really need to worry about Iran?

For a bizarre story about terrorist weddings in Syria, who claims to have nothing to do with terrorism, click here. And speaking of terrorism, here are some recent poll results for those of you interested in democracy and the Arab world. Not light weekend reading, but it's the sort of information that might prove your sophistication at your next cocktail party. Speaking of Arab democracy, Palestinian women won 51 seats in the recent election, which is cool.

And since we're in a sober mood already: yesterday we said goodbye to Lisa the Magnificent (I apologise for the half-closed eyes, Lisa! It's the best picture of us all!) who is going back to the Cold North (even colder than here!) As you can see in the picture, we make a good team. Loay was, sadly, in the Cold North already and could not be in the picture with us.

The Cold North refers to the charming, small New England town of Amherst, Massachusetts. At least, it does for me. I think Loay went to Michigan for a few days.
