"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.”

ORANGE CRUSH - THE EAST (EAST BEIRUT) IS ORANGE - General Michel Aoun’s FPM wins a clean sweep in the Mount Lebanon Christian heartland in third round of Lebanese parliamentary elections
TSUNA MICHEL AOUN - banner across the highway in Jbeil celebrating Aoun’s victory (Aoun’s imminent return was pejoratively characterized as a tsunami by his arch foe Walid Jumblat a couple of months ago).
New definition of “sectarianism” in Lebanon: · Christians voting! (How dare they!) · Christians voting for Christian candidates! (How dare they!) · Christians voting for Christian candidates not preselected by Muslims nor voted in by majority Muslim electorates! (How dare they!) · Those candidates actually winning! (How dare they!)
