...miss Whose Line Is It Anyway? -Christian Naquin, BATON ROUGE, LA.Terribly. I would have loved to do that show for the rest of my life. It was fun, great money and easy-everything you want in a job. It should have been on forever, and I don't know why it got canceled. And if different people were making the decisions, it could still be on the air. There is always a chance [it could come back], but it would be pretty expensive to get the rights...
...here if it weren't for them. And I believe God has given them to us, because He loves us and wants what is best for us, both in this life and the next. But, death is a reality common to us all, and for me as a Christian it isn't something to be feared, because I know what lies ahead for me beyond the grave...

...What could Lebanese Christians possibly have in common with Hizballah, the Islamist resistance movement? Perhaps it is the fact that Aoun's Christian supporters and Hizballah's rank and file are motivated by a shared animus towards Lebanon's political elite, a handful of families such as the Gemayel, whose progeny resurface in government after government. In fact, many of the supporters of the current government are civil war-era militia leaders, who accommodated themselves rather nicely to the years of Syrian occupation, but who have now emerged wearing business suits and talking U.S.-friendly language about democracy and independence...
