Democracy and wine
For those under that rock:
The past couple of weeks have seen the development of what is being called the "Cedar Revolution" in Lebanon. Thousands upon thousands of pro-democracy activists and general citizens have taken to the streets to demand that Syria withdraw it's troops and leave Lebanon to rule itself in peace.
It should be noted that Syria already agreed to leave Lebanon due to U.N. demands, over two decades ago. Boy, those middle eastern despotic regimes sure do sit in awe of U.N. decrees don't they.
Anyhoo, Peace is breaking out all over the Middle East. From Egypt to Afghanistan, the world is becoming a better, and safer place.
YAY DEMOCRACY, and Hot Chicks!
In other news, the Supreme Court has been busy lately; Striking down the death penalty for juveniles convicted of murder as adults, supporting the ban on sex toys in my home state of Alabama and they're working on that bastard Roy Moore's 10 Commandments case.
They are also expected to be ruling soon on a significant case regarding the personal sale and shipment of wine across state lines. Which I'm anxiously awaiting. I have a bunch of wines that are primed to drink but I have too many of them and want to trade some or sell some to buy other stuff to put in my cellar.
SCOTUS geeks can follow recent Supreme Court actions with this link.
