Lies and Fabrications...FROM LEBANON. The daily From Lebanon segment continues on LBC-TV. The other day, they featured Gavin Malouf. Yes, that Gavin Malouf. The world famous Gavin Malouf who apparently played ping pong or some other sport while attending a university in New Mexico. According to LBC-TV, Malouf inherited some company form his American father, Sir George (I kid you not, they referred to his father as "Sir George" perhaps not knowing that we don't--not yet anyway--have those titles here in the US). After he inherited the company, Gavin, according to LBC-TV, became "the youngest director" in the history of sports companies, EVER. And his company was "rated" the most philanthropic. Today, LBC-TV featured Abu Salim At-Tabl. I kid you not. But toward the end of the segment, they said that Abu Salim's fame reached "Africa, Australia, and America." Now that is true. I was quite surprised when I came to the US that average Americans all seem to know Abu Salim At-Tabl and Fahman. But I wonder why LBC-TV did not think that Abu Salim was famous in Japan and China? I mean, if Abu Salim is famous in Iowa, why can't he be famous in China and Japan? Come on. Don't be modest, o Lebanonese buffoons. O Lebanonese nationalists: do you know how easy it is to mock you and ridicule you? No, you don't. You have no idea.
