House of Saud's lifestyle
OK. I always notice that Saudi kings and princes always have kleenex tissues next to them. I notice that but I don't want to know why they are desperate to have them so close by even in meetings with heads of state. I don't know what those Saudi royals and princes ooze all hours of the day. But then you think of their lifestyles. I mean, the medical records of King Fahd must have read like the Encyclopedia of STDs. But here is the Saudi King meeting with the Syrian foreign minister. What on earth is that feast in front of the Saudi king? I mean, I like Arabic sweets more than anything--almost more than anything--but come on. And are the sweets and candy within reach of the Syrian foreign minister? Did he offer him any? (AP)
