STILL ALIVE SORTA

I told you this would happen: Cleric Rushes to See Arafat; Burial Plans Proceed.

He is still dying or dead but not really because some parts of his body still are working and besides, all the lieutenants and hangers on have not figured out how to do without him yet and..................Just like Franco. See below; Friday November 5th.

The Russians and a lot of the roman church have this thing down. They keep the bodies around just in case. Lenin stayed visible in Red Square for decades. They kept fluffing him up. "Hi, I am Lenin's fluffer".

The catholics keep pieces of various saints and key figures around here and there to ward of evil or something. Maybe to legitimize their claim as the one and only true religion. And if that is not enough, every once in a while, someone sees Mary coming back in the form of a rain cloud or something.

Death is like that. We just don't want to see it happen.

As far as the 'fat is concerned, they are working on the tomb. It is funny. They are going to get the Israelis to support the location of Arafat's tomb and it will be right under their noses on the site they have been slowly bombing out of existence.

It looks like they got the inconvenient wife off the stage. She was making sure he stayed alive long enough for her to press her claims to the estate; figured to be on the order of 300,000,000 dollars. How is it that these martyrs get so rich? The ultimate scam.

This kind of thing gives us an older guy, like me, some perspective. I remember when Yasser was young and kinda sexy. He had this whole rebel thing going really well. Here he has his hat and his scary thug smile. The image is perfect and very effective. He has held power for a very long time.

In spite of all the years of friction and hatred, I still really don't understand the whole situation. I am not sure that the Jews or Palestinians do. It is easier to kill each other and act sub-animal than to figure it out. War is the ultimate distraction.

Just look around. Distracted?
