THE BETTING POOL IS NOW OPEN

I am now accepting bets on how long it will take me to talk to Teadrinker! She called yesterday and tried to apologize, but I'm not having it yet. She'll just have to wait until this freaking computer is working right. gimphouse.com is not working, except it let 1 post through, there's no sound (the infamous trojan is hiding in that file) and I'm frustrated as hell that I can't sort either issue myself, not to mention that C.G. is still not answering his phone.
The news last night was most entertaining. Assad announced that his minions will Lebanon if there's a consensus that the Lebanese want them to go! And after he consults with Lahud- his very own puppet. The Lebanese are not demonstrating for the Syrians to stay, and Lahud is hardly going to tell his mentor to leave. As one of our talking heads said, consulting Lahud is in effect, consulting himself! They have to get out of Lebanon and stop blaming us for their presence there. They also have to take the Hezbollah with them. There is no reason to think the Lebanese can't govern themselves. They did a fine job of it before the Syrians arrived, and in spite of the clash yesterday, I can't see any real reason to expect them to have another civil war. They've already done that and are not stupid to go there again. I'm sure the clash yesterday was sponsored by Syria, as a ploy to show that without them things will deteriorate. Anyone who buys into that deserves what they get.
Bush, Blair,the frog and all are telling Assad to get out now. I think he might try to Arafart them...........make like he's leaving, then, drag things out with inane excuses, like blaming us and whatever else sounds good. They gotta go and soon.
Ok, it's almost noon and past time to get out of here, go into town, the grocery shopping. As to the pool, the winning bet will be the one that's closest to the date and time the computer is sorted. I can't begin to guess!
