Follow my blog on Twitter!

So, digital world, here I come! You'd think I would have been there sooner, but well, what can I say, better late than never.

From now on, anything I publish here will be on Twitter (well, not exactly, just the title will be). If your curiosity is peaked, you can click and read the whole article. What? You don't know what Twitter is? Don't worry about this then, or, learn about it here!

Blind guy driving a car

A video I took with a friend of mine in LA in October of 2000 with me driving a car in a parking lot (car park, for those of you who come from the other side of the pond). He was in the car with me at first, but then, fearing for his life, he got out. This was actually a driving lesson -- but aren't they all? We were speaking with a Hebron accent, as those of you who speak Arabic I'm sure noticed by now. Why! Just because we thought it was funny!

Americans, is it really true?

This was forwarded to me bya friend oversees. Having friends all over the world, I'm used to getting all sorts of things about "Americans", but this is interesting, and sadly very true!

 

Below is a video tape showing a number of Americans being randomly interviewed on the street. They were asked, "In terms of the war on terrorism, which country should the USA invade next?" Their answers will astound you!

 

In case the picture is not clear, the names of the countries on the map shown to people on the video have been changed to test their geographical skills. 

 

It will take a few minutes to load but the video is worth viewing.

Bush and Blair's Prayer for Fallujah

This is posted in the spirit of cynicism.

--------------------

O Lord our God,

Help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells;

Help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their dead;

Help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded,

writhing in pain;

 

O Lord our God,

Help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire;

Help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief;

Help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes

of their desolate land in rags and hunger and thirst.

 

For our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives

We ask it in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the source of all Love.

 

Put a smile on your face, or better yet, laugh!

Well this has been a fantastic day so far, except for the AC not working as well as it should (either that or it’s way too hot outside).  Just found out that my soda maker will arrive on the twenty seventh, though I won’t be here to collect it!  I’m off to DC on the twenty fifth, and after just one day in Denver on the thirtieth, I get to hit the road for another few days to the beautiful city of Milwaukee (beautiful?  How do I know that!  I’ve actually never been there!).  Anyway, I get to find out real soon – I just love the Midwest, especially the people there, so there is some sort of a bias going on, though it’s the good type of bias that can sometimes get you in bigger trouble than the other kind if you know what I mean!

 

Enough about that.  Below is something sent out by a friend a while ago.  Since I’m thinking of switching gears to the legal profession sometime between now and the day I die, I figured this may be appropriate to post here.  These are things people presumably said in court.  I can’t deny myself having put my foot in my mouth this way – especially in light of the fact that my mouth rarely closes itself.  It’s like the guy who was telling his friend “you know Jack, I haven’t talked to my wife in 18 months”.  “Why is that!” Jack asks?  “Well, I just don’t like to interrupt her!”.

 

On to the forward.  Have a blessed day.

   These are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters - who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.
