Kim Jong Il tells North Koreans in Libya: Don't bother coming home

"Worried they might return with provocative tales of a populist uprising that just toppled another Middle East dictator, strongman Kim Jong Il has issued a decree to North Koreans in Libya –- don’t bother coming home."

On yesterday's historic moment that gave long-standing Palestine cheer-leaders goosebumps:

"Today, UNESCO addmitted Palestine as a full member in the International organization, and while it's not a full UN member yet, Palestine's addmitance to this particular club, or as I'd like to call it, The civilized part of the UN, where your history is your card in, not how big your army is, is one of historic proportions."

"Give me 5 reasons why we shouldn't take that keyboard away from the reporter who wrote 5 reasons to visit Beirut in TIME."

1 - The National Museum? Seriously? Ask us Lebanese if we've ever visited it! It practically has nothing in it.
2 - Byblos. You're naming one of the oldest cities in the world. Aha... I love Byblos! Don't get me wrong, but hmmmm you're telling people to visit BEIRUT, by visiting Byblos? They're both cities, and far from each other. News FLASH! Our country is called LEBANON....

"You want to bring more tourists? How can you bring more tourists and our roads barely fit for us! How can you bring more tourists and your hotels are so freaking expensive? How can you invite tourists to come while your politicians act like effin morons on National TV. How can you ask for more tourists when we have guns lying around and a war waiting to happen? How can you ask for more tourists while you don't even treat your own citizens right."

"It has been years since I’ve flown on Kuwait Airways. I believe many people try to avoid flying on Kuwait Airways for obvious reasons that start from value of money and end at continuous delays."

"While censorship and monitoring seems a rampant practice by authorities in the Middle East, Lebanese blogs and news sites may have a new form of control to deal with."

"Watch as reporter Matthew Lee with the Associated Press grills State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland on the United States’ apparent disappointment with the UNESCO vote that welcomed Palestine as its newest full member state. The questions are straightforward and logical, and it becomes clear that the Obama administration is only concerned with Israel’s one-sided demands. The spokesperson eventually ends the questioning after being unable to address even the most basic loopholes in the United States’ stance."
