Safety video on Qatar Airways tells me, "escape path lights will guide you." I'm pretty sure Coldplay plagiarized that.

Why is Mohamed Morsi obsessed with 1970s-era American pop culture? by @DavidKenner in FP: http://t.co/q8FyWgABAA
RT @Doranimated: It's impossible for me, as a person or an orangutan, to understand why the US does not have a regime change policy.
My little brother's hip-hop group @fortunefamily is back together. This is their amazing comeback single "Gravity": https://t.co/uzpgJA47jg
Frightening thought from @AbuJamajem: the Syrian regime could conceivably survive for years - even decades - to come http://t.co/EUqwH2Qc9S
In his new post, @AbuJamajem applies theories of monarchical stability to the Assad regime. And it's bad news: http://t.co/EUqwH2Qc9S
This post by @AbuJamajem is one of the most interesting things I've read on #Syria in weeks: http://t.co/EUqwH2Qc9S
RT @AbuJamajem: The Middle East, and U.S.-ME policy in particular, is a lot easier to handle if you've got a dark sense of humor. Real dark.
@ke2233 not true. Most of Syrian opposition have been calling for no fly zone or airstrikes for a long time
Bottom line on #Syria should be clear by now: without US military intervention, unlikely that the rebels will be able to defeat govt forces.
If anyone still thinks the rebels can win on their own, just go read this interview w- Gen Salim Idris: http://t.co/L7hjYfH0Np #syria
Pointing to lack of US aid, #Syria rebel commander has this to say: “The Americans just want us to die slowly.” http://t.co/L7hjYfH0Np
Two yrs (and many promises) later, #Syria rebels still saying they "don't have sufficient ammunition and weapons": http://t.co/L7hjYfH0Np
@Maraux @Sarah_bh Do KSA/UAE see the rise of Islamists across the region as a threat to the security order? Clearly, yes.
May 07
@Maraux @Sarah_bh KSA/UAE have to work with what they have, but would they prefer someone besides Nahda in power? Yes.
@mwhanna1 you know it's not exactly self-evident that US mil intervention would be "unwise," right?
@Sarah_bh Also, consensus among political scientists is that semi-presidentialism is problematic. See here: http://t.co/rXdFmQkRIp
May 06
@Sarah_bh Actually, Ennahda is opposed by Saudi Arabia and UAE. pretty basic stuff. They see rising Islamists as a threat to regional order
@Sarah_bh @ScJulie Not aware of any gulf state taking position on semi-presidentialism. Unclear why they'd dislike more than parliamentarism
@kristenchick you can't be serious?
