#3  I wonder if they checked with the family before announcing they would be calling. Didn't the family shut the door in the faces of members of the current government when they tried to come to the funeral?

#2  Right, 2b. Especially condoling with the financial enabler of all the misery in Lebanon, from the Syrians to Hizb'Allah. Makes me want to gag.
