"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

Just heard an American commentator on the BBC World Service Radio saying, of American foreign policy, that America had decided to privatize the world and that they were privatizing a country, namely Iraq.
I agree but I'd say that it's public/private though – were does Halliburton and the other companies given lucrative Iraqi reconstruction contracts end and where does the government begin?
I just thought of a wacky play on words – Ho'Land.
The humor lies in the fact that that looks and sounds like the country Holland and because hos are always in the "nether lands".
Another really funny one is Ho Chi Min City.
