Oh my god.  There's someplace where people smoke more than Lebanon?!  Unbelievable.

As for the sordid story of the week... I don't know what to say.  Sixteen months of probation for beating a mentally disabled man half to death?  Appalling.

And even more appalling is the villagers' and mayor support for the guy who did the beating. That just ... I mean ... yuck.
