Workman's Safety Rules

In a note that is not, repeat not, intentionally comedic...

The Hamas regime that controls the Gaza Strip has ordered owners of smuggling tunnels between Gaza and Sinai "...insure their workers and obtain a license from the administration to provide electricity for the tunnels." The smugglers are also to pay taxes on products smuggled in.

You couldn't make up stuff like this.

Thanks to the always excellent MEMRI translators for this item.

You got to be kidding-- do they get paid breaks as well?

I checked out the other link- MEMRI--

The Islamic website wants to post jihadists materials on American forums?

the political cartoons were my favorite!

Just to be clear, MEMRI is on the side of the good guys. They provide translations of what the bad guys are saying for those of us researchers whose Arabic (and other language) skills are lacking.

They cover various Middle Eastern public media, various political factions' statements, and cover anything the jihadi movement puts out as well.

And this is why I have you, LDG-- to pick up after my messes--

haste makes waste-- I was reading too quickly, trying to make up for lost time-- but I did slow it down-- and I am still here! It is almost 2:00--
