Ex-Syrian VP Kicked Out of Baath Party; Treason Charges Voted Against Him

If he wasn't talking to UN investigators or the CIA or even French intelligence before, he must be now:

Syria's ruling Baath Party has expelled former Vice-President Abdul Halim Khaddam - a day after parliament voted to bring treason charges against him.

The moves follow remarks by Mr Khaddam implicating President Bashar al-Assad in the murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in February 2005.

Sorry for the lack of blogging. Remember that advice I gave about drinking irresponsibly? Turns out that wasn't very good advice at all. I really pulled a boner with that one.

This story seems kind of strange.

Charged with treason- and they expel him?

Per your drinking-
when you fall off the horse, climb back on.
Just make sure not to 'climb on' in such a way as to perforate your colon.

By the way, the rain is back here in Sonoma County.
I will ride out the storm with yet more grappa.
The rivers will rise, and tomorrow may be the worst of the flooding.
I know my Monday will suck either way, with the grappa also falling like rain...
Happy 2006!

Was it one of history's greatest boners?

Will Batman and Robin be researching it? Spending long hours pouring over it at the library?

And Khaddam's unexplained and mysterious death in a bizarre spontaneous car explosion in 3...2...1...

Ace! There's only one cure for a hangover, and I got it right here!

Spending long hours pouring over it at the library?

It's poring.

I can't believe I just did that to you Sortelli.

Please accept my most fervent apologies for this ad homonym attack.

Posted by: lauraw on January 1, 2006 05:47 PM

For the correction, I thank you.

For the pun, however, NO FORGIVENESS!!!

In my defense, I did say it was Batman and Robin. They could be doing some sort of weird research involving massage oils.

Posted by: Sortelli on January 1, 2006 06:15 PM

Robin: Holy cinnamon scented oil, Batman!

Batman: Unh...don't talk with your mouth full, Robin.

Ace was it Allah's boner you were pulling?
Just wondering.

Posted by: Don Carne on January 1, 2006 08:19 PM

Hah! Fussy old woman.

Ace, glad you survived the alcohol-induced coma and are still with us. I was starting to worry.

Well, that's just diplomatic speak. Like, expelling with extreme prejudice (speaking of drinking heavily...).

Treason at the top just like we had with bill clinton

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
