Mohammed Abdel-Raouf Arafat As Qudwa al-Hussaeini

The discussion in my immediate circle lately - understandably, considering recent events in the Middle East - is how ugly Yasser Arifat was. I never noticed but the two people I was talking to assured me that he was a very ugly man. I countered that the The Ramones were ugly, particularly Joey. The woman I was talking to said that the Beatles were ugly, especially when they first started. I had to respectfully disagree. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have the opportunity to discuss politics, pop culture and the like with intelligent friends. I think I'd simply perish.
