#1 Nice picture, if the politics thing doesn't work out, they could become department store Santas.

I never had any doubt that the MMA and army would be able to reach an agreement on the LFO, I was just suprised that it took so long.
Fazl somewhat reminds me of Vladimir Zhironovsky, he is a buffon he makes all sorts of extremist statements, and scares (or used to scare) the west, but he tends to get on with whatever the government of the day is. He actually has little religous authority, he is only where he is because his father was an important Mullah.

IMO, the whole point of this exercise has been to safeguard the corporatist state that the Mullahs, Military and industrialists have set up. The sole reason that Perv is willing to work with the MMA, but absolutely opposed to anything involving the Pakistan People's Party or the PML-N is because the latter are anti-army, while the former is a natural ally of the army.

#2 Oh, Gawd! I just had a vision of Fazl in a Benny Hill routine, as a male model...

#3 Looks like they've put all of that weight they lost during the Ramadan fast right back on. I hate when that happens. You gain back twice as much.

#4 If those guys in the picture ram down any more lamb, they will be big enough to burn diesel.

#7 I read the headline Deputies give Musharraf vast powers and had visions of Perv flying through the air, leaping tall buildings, stopping bullets, and using X-ray vision. Too bad, could come in handy the next time Al-Qaeda tries to whack him.

#10 Winters once said in a comedy routine,

"I said that I was John Q from outer space. I left the mother ship and they got me. Then I spent time in the zoo........ I learned a few things in there. Had to cool it. I also learned that we must never land just one at a time."

Brought down the house!
