Saudi Arabia’s King Fahd died today. I think that was a good idea. I hope more of the Saud royal family follows in his footsteps. Crown Prince Abdullah has now been appointed king. Whether he will follow the precedent set by his father and die soon is yet to be seen. Maybe President Bush could give Abdullah a phone call.
“I hear your father died today; that was decent of him.”
Do you know what was King Fahd’s last words? I’ll tell you.
“Faithful, radical Islamists, whatever you do, do not read the infidel website IMAO.us or listen to their podcast, or vote for said podcast (now that it’s a new month). Allah shall surely turn His wrath on you if you do… unless I’m wrong about this Islamic religion… which I probably am. Then God – Who hated being called Allah – will shower you with present instead of wrath. Erggharrghhgeerwageeeeeeeeehhhhhh. Now I am dead.”
He died as he lived – a big fat Saud wearing a man-dress.

(half-brother, not son)
If I didn’t know that, Bush probably wouldn’t either. You hear prince, you think son.
When I think prince, I think some short purple-and-lace queerie from Minnesota out-sucking that dude from Oingo Boingo on the Batman soundtrack.
Purple Rain? BAH! I’d sooner slit my wrists with s stale fortune cookie.
We may not get to enjoy half-brother Abdullah for long; he is 81, and the new Crown Prince is Fahd’s full brother, Prince Sultan, 78, formerly of Washington DC ambassador-row fame. Maybe a “Know your Saudi Royal Family” FAQ is in order.
We definitely need that FAQ. It is Sultan’s SON, the dastardly Prince Bandar, that was SA’s ambassador to the US. Like, duh, who would have known. The big question I have is whether or not Glenn Reynolds is a Saudi prince?
