Let's face it folks. There is not a country in the world that is not governed by merciless, money grubbing, snorting pigs. Liars one and all. From Obummer to Bibi, and from Ass ad's to Imadinnerjacket. Putin to One hung low. SNORT SNORT is their retort! give me your blood to drink! they think!

his wife's spending habits, so how is he supposed to be able to control a country? lol This sounds familiar though, Saddam Hussein anyone? He built extravagant palaces while his countrymen died of poison gas and starvation. If the starvation didn't kill them, his poisonous gas did. Pathetic

I send her my list....???? Just want to help the poor woman keep her mind off of things!!!!

Why would the EU allow her to purchase anything in the first place? Are there any sanctions on Syria? If not, why?

ATHMA SHOPS ,AND THE WORLD WALKS .END .

Funny that you should feel sorry for "ordinary, decent Syrians who go hungry...". Why don't you feel sorry for the ordinary, decent Israeli go hungry had set themselves on fire from desperation while greedy p!gs like Olmert and Netenyahu live in luxury...

Olmert belongs in prison. I have never suggested anything to the contrary. Netanyahu is not a greedy pig. Moreover, it would be difficult to go hungry in Israel.

I've been a pretty consistent size 2 for most of my adult life (at one time, I was, I am told, a size zero -- [is that a size at all?]) -- so I have someone who understands my rather conservative tastes buy my clothes. I'm heavily into navy blue, grey and black. I'm not fond of revealing, either. I'm also a pretty consistent size 8.5 in shoes -- so I have someone to purchase whatever goes along with the clothes that I dread shopping for personally. Home furnishings? Isn't that what an interior designer is for? I consider shopping an ordeal. I cannot imagine that others do not. Particularly others that live in a country where deprivation and civil war abounds .... I do echo the poster at No. 2. That is one seriously ugly ottoman. But very reflective of Arab -- snicker -- "taste."
