"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.”

My cousin assures me that it's business as usual at the local manouchie kiosk – apparently the proprietor turned councillor had been busy receiving congratulations from well-wishers at home this week(as is the custom in the Middle East).
Nonetheless, there are still lessons to be learnt from the Great Manouchie Famine of 2004 – I call on the government to bake and freeze an emergency Manouchie stockpile and to establish a Ministry for Manouchie Security.
All marriage proposals I made during the height of the Famine should now be considered null and void.
