Add Lebanon on the “To Do” List

Lebanon has jumped a couple of spaces and now squarely rests behind Iraq as the country we are most likely to annihilate. If the following report is true, the president must now think about attacking yet another country. The real danger this presents is that we may spread ourselves too thin in order to be effective in any particular region, and without allied assistance will be alone in our attempts to rid the world of terrorists. There are enough people in the world who hate the United States, that I do not see an end to this madness.

Al-Qaida Said to Find Refuge in Lebanon Camp

JERUSALEM (Sept. 2) - Nearly 200 al-Qaida operatives, including several senior commanders, have settled in Lebanon with Syria’s permission, taking refuge in a large Palestinian refugee camp there, an Israeli newspaper reported Monday. A source in Jerusalem, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the report, saying the information comes from Israeli and Western intelligence agencies. A Lebanese security source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, denied al-Qaida members were in the refugee camp, saying 10 to 15 Islamic militants are hiding from authorities in the camp. The militants were involved in clashes in which nine Lebanese soldiers were killed. Zeev Schiff, a prominent Israeli journalist who covers the military, reported in Haaretz daily that Damascus has allowed between 150 and 200 al-Qaida operatives to settle in the Palestinian refugee camp of Ein el-Hilweh, near the Lebanese coastal town of Sidon.

Not That Innocent

Britney Spears has opened her mouth and stupidity has come rushing forth. She made the following statement this week:

Who cares if I’ve had sex? It’s nobody’s business. Trust me, I’m not going to have a press conference to announce it.

Oh, really. Well then, why the hell did you have one to let us know that you were a virgin? Let me translate what she is really saying. The previous statement means:

I am really famous and hot, and realized that I could be having sex all the time so I am doing it. I’ve done the gay guy from N’Sync, some grip from my last horrific attempt at acting, and am currently doing whoever the hell I please.

I don’t care if she is doing it, and never really believed that she wasn’t. I simply resent the fact that she made such a big deal about being more saintly than everyone else, when apparently she is just as big a whore as the rest of us.

Hell to Sell

I have come to the conclusion that selling a home, even a decent home that is in good condition and not falling in on itself is the worst experience any human being could possibly go through. At least drowning, burning, and being shot are quicker, and I am willing to suggest that they might even be less painful. For those of you who have not had this experience, let me break it down for you in a nutshell.

Step 1: Set an asking price (I’m not sure of the reason, to give a high water mark I suppose)
Step 2: Receive an offer from a potential buyer (that is no doubt nowhere near what you are asking for)
Step 3: Give a counter-offer.
Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you are so sick of the process that you are willing to move back to the city from whence you came.

Some idiot is trying to buy our home right now, and gave us a bid that is less than what we paid for the house. Had I known his email address I would have sent him a message which read:
I’m sorry, but you are obviously too damn stupid to own your own home. Request……DENIED!!!!!!

After a week we accepted his latest offer and said, just take the keys, we take your money and that is the end of it. We have gone so low that we will not make any money, but we lowered the price so that he could make any necessary repairs. Now the jerk-off says that we will still fix some items, so today I told him to go %@#$#$ himself. Take it or leave it……………and I swear I have never enjoyed anything in my life more than I enjoyed saying that. He had nickeled and dimed us until we weren’t making any money and still wanted more and it was time for us to draw a line in the sand.

Sure, I may have missed a sale, but the adrenaline rush I had telling him to kiss my ass was worth every dime I may have to eventually sink into that home. Still, I pray that each of you will never have to go through this process. I am about 2 days away from slinging my body onto a sword. Perhaps, those of you who have been through this will understand my plight, and maybe we can start a support group. Updates to follow.
