I had mentioned how Lebanonese casually call Lebanonese crackpots and nutcases "philosophers." Two weeks ago, the Lebanese journalist who manages to annoy me more than Larry King, Gizelle Khuri, introduced right-wing sectarian Christian Lebanese publisher, Ghassan Tuwayni, as "philosopher." If Tony Danza was Lebanonese, they would also refer to him as "philosopher."
