Lebanonese self-praise: I should have a regular feature titled Lebanonese self-praise. Today in An-Nahar, Samir `Atallah said that the Lebanonese people are one of the "most intelligent people there is". Apparently, the same international commission that crowned the King of Potato restaurant owner in Hamra Street in Beirut as the "King of Potato" also declared the Lebanonese people as "one of the most intelligent poeple there is."
