The Circle of Life

Simba is the only king I actually like. He’s cute! I won’t mind living under his reign!

Yes, I can’t think of anything else but the joke that is happening in Saudi today. It is a joke that happens in every other Arabic country of course. A ruler dies, and another is put in his place, and the people just have to pray for his death, to have a new face on their currencies!! The joke of course is when they say the people are appointing these rulers. What nonsense!

Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz is the new “custodian of the two holy mosques”. Wow! He is in his early 80’s with a crown prince (Sultan) who is 77 years old. What do I see wrong in this? Plenty…here are some of my (quick) thoughts:

1. This is the second sequel to “Grumpy Old Men”. It will of course be called “Grumpiest Old Men.”
2. Ancient blood should be discarded. Saudi needs fresh blood. Blood that doesn’t “love the good life” for the monarch family members only, but for all the Saudi people. “The world's largest oil-producing nation” should not have people are living under the poverty line. “Show the people the money” I say! (And on that alone I can go forever, but I do have to work!)
3. Can someone please take their head gear off and check their expiry date? I don’t know about you, but I could see that the blood is clotted!!
4. Ban Duracell!

A bigger joke is that there will be no days off to mourn Fahad as it doesn’t go with the Islamic laws. I guess gambling and drinking which he was famous for are within these laws!!!
UAE will also not take days off. Gosh what a sad day!
