Thought of the Day

I went hunting last week in the grounds of an impressive chateau, about 80 miles south of Paris. The weather was good and the food excellent. We got about a thousand birds, pheasants, partridge and ducks, over two days. I returned to Paris Saturday to stay the night before returning to London. It was the night of the France-England Rugby match and there must have been an extra million people in the streets. A great atmosphere with no violence, but many drunk people. I now know the word scrum. It is the huddle of American football minus the falsies. I intend to return to Paris Saturday for the final although I don't have a ticket. Weather permitting the atmosphere should be worth the trip. I always look for an excuse to visit the City of Light. It is my favorite place

Thought of the Day

I came back to London from two weeks of very hard work, travelling between Saudi Arabia (twice) and New York to discover that the downmarket Washington Times published on Sept. 27 a sick article by the miserable Nir Boms of the extremist Center for Freedom in the Middle East on the wretched Farid Ghadry, a former Syrian and a current Israeli apologist.
I won't spit on the above if they were on fire but I quote from the article that I "raised the possibility that Syria will begin liquidating dissident, adopting a similar strategy to that of Libyan leader Moammer Gadhfi..." This is a lie. I never said such a thing. The people who lied about Iraq and are now lying about Iran will lie about a sigle journalist. All I ever said about Ghadry was that he was "low life," an opinion that I continue to hold.
I have never ever defended Syria or any other Arab country, including Egypt and Saudi Arabia. I only attack and expose the other side, the warmongers and their agents, or the "low life."
