iDip is back from a 'KUNA Hunting' trip

When I saw this picture some questions popped up in my mind:
1-Why half of the picture is useless?
2-What's wrong with the lens?
3-Can't they remove the date? I can help
4-Why the middle chair is empty?
5- Are they having a break?
6-Why the Acting Prime Minister (First Deputy PM) is not 'charing' the meeting?

مصر مش كده

أتوقع بأن عددا ليس باليسير من المدونين (Bloggers) في الكويت قد شاهد الإعلان السياحي الأخير لمصر ضمن حملة شعارها "مصر ... البيت بيتك".

الآن في عالم المدونات المصري انطلقت حملة مضادة تحت شعار "مصر مش كده" يقودها المدونون المصريون الذين رفضوا الصورة التي عرضت بها بلادهم على شاشات التلفاز.

The image “http://img298.echo.cx/img298/8214/notegy4hz.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

للمزيد:

مدونة "مصر مش كده!"

مدونة "مع نفسي"

قل لا لإعلان البكيني


اقتراح:

حملة "الكويت مو جذي"

بقيادة: بو مريوم

الاعتراض على: الصورة التي يمثلها أعضاء مجلس الأمة الموقر للكويت في الخارج

حملة "المملكة مهيب كذه"

بقيادة: W.

الاعتراض على: منع المرأة السعودية من قيادة السيارة

حملة"لبنان منو هيك"

بقيادة: نترك لكم الترشيح

الاعتراض على: اختيار السنيورة رئيسا لمجلس الوزراء

مع الاعتذار إن وقعنا في شرك (فخ) التدخل في الشؤون الداخلية للدول والشعوب

What's wrong with Al-Khrafi?? (Updated)



Originally posted on 28-06-05

Recently, The Speaker of Kuwait's National Assembly -out of the blue- became the centre of Kuwaiti Media's attention.

Jasem Al-Khrafi started when reaffirming his abstention in every vote on Kuwaiti Women Rights, then his first press release against the US Ambassador to Kuwait speech.

Now, his statements are not only against the Americans, but also blaming the Kuwaiti Government.

The strange thing about his latest statement is blaming the Government in general and specifically the Foreign Ministry, as well as naming the Kuwaiti FM. I'm wondering why not the Kuwaiti PM!!??

Update Kuwaiti FM responses
Update2 Kuwaiti FM Meets Al-Khrafi
Update3 US Embassy: Inaccurate reports
Update4 AbduLateef Al-Duaij: Why Now?
Udpate5 Al-Rub'ey: Silly American Proposal
Update6 Muhammed Al-Shaibany: Liz Cheney
Update7 AbduLateef Al-Duaij: I changed my mind

خيلي خوب















Last night I watched the Iranian Movie Leila (1996) ليلا. It was great, depressing though.




















I have only 3 Iranian movies (any recommendation?), watched them recently and I think they’re extremely better than Bollywood movies that Kuwaitis are obsessed with.

The Other 2 movies are:
-Hidden Half (2001)
-Secret Ballot (2001) راي مخفي

Cargo Tagging


I like the Idea of Cargo Magazine.
It has a page with 26 stickers, that helps you to tag pages you want to come back to later. So useful!
