[1501] Of the Former Turkish Province of Greece

Too good to let it pass peacefully:

SIR — The problem of Greece’s refusal to agree to the name of ”Macedonia” for its northern neighbour is easily solved (”The game of the name”, December 8th). Let Macedonia be admitted to various international bodies under the title of ”The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia”, as Greece demands, but on condition that Greece itself be reseated under the name ”The Former Turkish Province of Greece”. An additional advantage of this solution would be that the two countries would sit side-by-side in the United Nations, thereby facilitating constructive private discussions, or fisticuffs according to the mood of the day.

I just love the Prime Minister. He gives too many opportunities for humor. Perhaps, he aims to rival the current US President!

[1486] Of word of the year: w00t!

Yup. According to Merriam-Webster, much to the delight of a generation of l337-speaking d00d, w00t — yes, w00t with two zeros — is the word of the year.

Well, w00t?

[1485] Of what would a libertarian do on Christmas Eve?

Ever wonder what?

Well, a true-blue libertarian would exercise his right to bear arms and wait for a chance to shoot Santa for trespassing private property.

Hey Santa! Merry Christmas! BAMN!

Oh, wait, wait. Merry Eid-mas! (That would make somebody scream in horror! LOL!)
