I’d like to wish all those who celebrate the holiday of Christmas a very merry Christmas. With songs like “Last Christmas” playing on the radio, I felt like sharing what I feel to be the best song for this time of the year, covered by the beautiful and enchanting Lisa Hannigan. Maybe more beautiful are the lyrics to this song.
Enjoy.
And if you’re more of a metalhaed, check out the Depeche Mode version.
Angie Nassar posted this very interesting video at NowLebanon.com . The video is made by a few Russian students that sought to use the best visuals ever to describe the situation in Lebanon
“… Constantly hanging by a thread…”-Ms. Angie Nassar
I get a feeling the victors of the elections are going to spend a bit of alone time with the computer tonight. Proof? Ok.
“WHEN Barack Obama won the American presidency in 2008 his supporters cheered, cried, hugged—and in many cases logged on to their computers to look at pornography.”

A very candid piece by Ya Libnan’s Ghasan Karam. Here’s an excerpt:
“We can still redeem ourselves but our first act must be to take an oath of allegiance to an idea, to freedom, democracy, human rights and total unquestioning allegiance to a state that is not based on sectarian principles and discriminatory practices. We can still actualize our dream of establishing a state worthy of the name but in order to do that we have no choice but to relegate religious leaders to their spiritual roles only. We have to forge an identity that is not primarily defined by our religious faith but by our civil rights. We have to shout it from the roof tops that the emperor has no clothes.”
Wishin’ I was a VMOMP right now.
