Arafat is Dead! Long Live the King!

Arafat is Dead! Long Live the King!

Image

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there
And they're all livin' devil may care
And i'm just the devil with love to spare
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas


Image

How i wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
'cause even if there were forty more
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Oh, there's black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on ev'ry deal
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas


Image

Viva las vegas with you neon flashin'
And your one armbandits crashin'
All those hopes down the drain
Viva las vegas turnin' day into nighttime
Turnin' night into daytime
If you see it once
You'll never be the same again


Image

I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If i wind up broke up well
I'll always remember that i had a swingin' time
I'm gonna give it ev'rything i've got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shout a seven with ev'ry shot
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas,
Viva, viva las vegas!

Arafat could have been dead for days now and we wouldn't know. It's not as if they're being very forthcoming with information.

Last I heard his (or one of his) wives is running interference and generally causing enough trouble for everyone to hate her.

So will we start have Arafat sightings after he is offically declared deceased?

I read in today's paper(Salt Lake Tribune) that Arafat's wife just went on a rant about how her husband's still alive and Palestinian leaders are going to France "to bury her husband alive."

I wouldn't be surprised if he is dead, and they're just holding off announcing it until they can decide on a successor.

Whoever they 'announce' as sucessor wont matter a bit. Theres captains and others in the PA organization who've been waiting for Arafat's death for years.

Its going to turn to shit for a while. It will probably reveal the PA for what it really is, a mock up front for a bunch of crooks and terrorists who care not for the safety of the Palestinian people but just for their own crooked ends.....

I think after this passes, though, the outlook for the Palestinians could be bright.
