Mughniyeh Goes Out With a Bang

Journalist Terry Anderson, a former Associated Press chief Middle East correspondent who was held captive by Mughniyeh for six years:

"I can't say I'm either surprised or sad," Andersen told the AP by phone from the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, where he was sailing. "He was not a good man — certainly the primary actor in my kidnapping and many others," he added. "To hear that his career has finally ended is a good thing and it's appropriate that he goes up in a car bomb."

The BBC version.

While I was busy looking for photos to go with my Mugni, the industrious and efficient MFT beat me to the posting. So consider mine, above, as a hearty "I'll second that!" to MFT's "Hooray!".... oh, and, yes, I owe MFT a snappy beverage of his choice [hey, don't they ladle those out near free in Vegas?? crafty me]

They only dish the free drinks if playing at the tables. But don't worry, it'll only run about 4-5 bucks for a decent brew.

Well, by all means then MFT, I'll hand you your Mugni-ficent brew when you are at the tables!

Well, if Yahoo was talking about US "US", then Welkommen!

That sounds good, but I usually don't last long at the tables for one reason: I don't gamble.
