Most of us in the Lebanese Blogosphere have long noticed the terrible job Hassan Fattah of the NYT is doing in covering Lebanon. We are all entitled to our biases, but the problem with Mr. Fattah is not (just) bias, it is in-your-face incompetence. David Kenner’s article in Now Lebanon explains how.

Wondering what our Prime Minister does with all his spare time in the Serail? Take a look at this fawning ridiculously long “article” (Arabic) that Mr. Seniora wrote for a Saudi newspaper extolling king Abdallah’s virtues.. Mystery solved.PS: If someone does end up reading it, please let us know what it’s about..

Everyone was speculating on what Lahhoud’s next step, the one ‘dictated by his conscience’, would be. Now, the secret is revealed.According to Alhayat, Lahhoud told “Western sources” that he intends to hand in the Lebanese top position to the Army. He said that he’s doing so because he will not hand in a Maronite position to a Sunni. This could go down well in Bkirki, considering all the talk about a unity government potentially replacing the presidency. It would be a weird coincidence if the Naher Al Bared fights end in early November, don’t you think?

The day right after the Metn by-elections, La Youmal (a pro March 14 satire Tv Show) produced a bunch of sketches on Aoun that aired on TV. That must be the fastest production I’ve ever seen. Now, they’re online.
