"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.”

BROKEN NEWS!
( was Breaking News! elsewhere five days ago )
-AUSTRALIAN AYATOLLAH RESIGNS
CANBERA :
Australian Ayatollah ( aka Governor General ) Peter Hollingworth has resigned.
A rape case brought against him was the latest in a series of scandals that have dogged him throughout his two year tenure ( including promoting a child molesting priest whilst he was Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane ) was seen as the straw that broke the camels back.
Ayatollah Hollingworth maintains he is inocent of all the allegations leveled against him and says the rape allegation is a case of "mistaken identity" - i.e he thought he was raping somebody else.
