Hey Lim!
I'm happy to see you're baaaack! Even if only one post since November, and this one over a month old. Haven't been checking the few Iraqi blogs I've followed for a few years, at least this summer (you, the former Kid, and Zeyad). Frankly, I was worried about you, and checking for a post from you and getting nothing new was becoming depressing. So 3aish you! As for Obama, I'm afraid his speech to AIPAC turned me off totally. I already was turned off by my surmise that he, Hilary, and the wrinkly old white-haired guy were already in AIPAC's pocket, at least rhetorically. So I'll probably vote for Ralph Nader, the wrinkly old Arab-American. I'd better shut up about wrinkly and old, since neither one of them is that much older than me! Well, if McCain seems to have more than the proverbial snowball's chance of winning Maryland, I might vote for Obama if I thought my one vote would make the difference. Hah!
Take care of yourself.
Jon
