With us or against us.

I thought we were good friends with the Saudi’s? After all were fighting the same evil right? Or are we?

Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah told his nation on State Television the following regarding the recent terror attacks in the Kingdom:

“Zionism is behind it.  It has become clear now.  It has become clear to us.   I don’t say, I mean…  It is not 100 percent, but 95 percent that the Zionist hands are behind what happened.”

I thought we we’re both fighting extremism and Al Qaida? But wait there’s more…

Prince Nayef, the Saudi Interior Minister, chimed in with this little tidbit:

“Al-Qaida is backed by Israel and Zionism.”

It gets harder to believe most of the highjackers were Saudi every day.

Successfully avoiding telemarketer's and other various callers.

I find the best way to avoid unwanted conversations on the telephone is to pretend that my ‘parents’ are not home. As well as this tactic works at age 24 I plan to continue using until I’m 40.

me: Hello?

caller: Hi, this is Margaret from the Kidney Foundation.

me: ahh, hello.

caller: Sir we are calling today to see if you have anything you would like to donate to the Kidney Foundation.

me: ahh, my parents are home right now…

caller: …ok. When do you expect them to return.

me: They’re out of town for the week.

caller: I’ll try back another time.

me: [click, sound of phone hanging up]. Victory!
