I spoke to my mother. She offers her critiques of my articles in Al-Akhbar every week. She has been telling me: SHORTEN YOUR ARTICLES. She complains that they are too long. Yesterday, she told me: stop repeating yourself with the story about Solange Gemayyel serving food to Ariel Sharon. Enough already, or words to that effect. To which I said: but imagine, a member of the Lebanese parliament used to cook for Ariel Sharon his favorite dishes. Is that not disgusting and unforgivable? And you know what is unforgivable (here, you are supposed to say: what, o all-knowing one?)? How Hariri-Jumblat-Hizbullah helped bring Solange into the Lebanese parliament. That is unforgivable.
PS Please, feel free to disagree with me here. You may write your comments. Oh, I forgot that you can't do that anymore. Nevermind.
