When I feel windy, I reach for the Beano and head for the John.

Farah and Hamas are two scorpions in a bottle and the chances of a long term reconciliation between the two are remote. Egypt doesn’t grow half the grain needed to feed its masses and–cheerful street celebrations to the contrary–has been priced out of the world grain market and is facing famine.

Israel is strong, unified, democratic and prosperous. Israelis need to stay calm and keep their powder dry. The Arab spring is a wildly optimistic dream and the Arabs will soon wake to their irremediable fecklessness and misery.
