"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.”

DAYS OF THUNDER
“So foul a sky clears not without a storm” - Shakespeare
Two days since the Lebanese parliament passed an amnesty law for jailed Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea and the celebrations have yet to subside. The most obvious manifestation of this are the fireworks which I’ve been hearing day and night since Monday, although they have abated a bit since Monday’s ceaseless barrage. The first such phenomenon I’ve seen in this country and the first instance of fireworks during the day that I know of anywhere.On my walks I see the remains of fireworks strewn across the road.
