Christmas comes very early to Lebanon this year

Posted by nadine on April 23rd, 2009

So the Lebanese have finally managed to capitalize on the international interference in their affairs. Our elections are coming up shortly and the NY Times estimates that hundreds of millions of dollars are being funneled to Lebanon to support the warring factions. The global economy is shrinking and Lebanon is swimming in cash. Typical!

As far as smothering goes - and we have been smothered by all the love and support other countries have for us - I appreciate that we are being showered with money and not weapons. And, this money goes into buying votes so it goes straight to the poor.

It’s a socialist system with no taxes.

Thankfully, I have a job that pays enough so that I don’t have to sell my soul. My vote is not for sale. But moralizing and ethics are very entertaining when conducted from the comforts of a full stomach and a leather couch. I can’t blame them, but I can’t stop wishing that it was otherwise.
