Rumplestitchkin in Ramallah, Day II

Murphy is wide awake. As am I. Although perhaps not as wide as the proverbial fat lady, given that she didn't sing until about six this morning when I conveyed the Rumplestitchkins to their respective abodes. Rock n Roll, you know how it is.

It's seven o'clock now. Day two of a long week. After an hour's catnap I chase away the night, reluctantly, with fried eggs and a cold shower, concentrating hard to make sure one is ingested, the other applied externally and not the other way around.

"That the best you can do?" mocks the Muse of Darkness, and I go "Yes," shooting an unblinking glare that could strip the paint off old furniture. Or so I imagine. Don't try this at home.

"Who are you to mock the cousin of death?" I hear.

Gene: Hey Tom... sex parties in such an Islamic place... a woman who wears a scarf who doesn't believe in god... wow... does she feel she could be truthful to you, but what if she were questioned by a radical Muslim? What will her reply be? Keep posting Tom! I've bookmarked your Blog, and am really interested in the chapters to ensue!
S McCosker Australia: Tom. If you are a 'liberal' then do watch 'Fitna' - support your fellow left wing liberal, Geert Wilders. Look up all the Quran verses (he didn't even quote the worst - Surah 9; or 48:29). Read Nonie Darwish, Wafa Sultan & Jacques Ellul Un Chretien Pour Israel - you read French? Tom - Israel is a war zone because Arab/Muslim supremacist-imperialists want to reverse the de-colonisation that happened in 1948-49. You are a janissary of Jihad.
