Who will be the next King, anyway?

Me.

King Laz, President of Saudi Arabia.

See as I urge my fanatical legions to take arms against the evils of greasy nasty-tasting hamburgers.

Is this the guy who is always on vacation with hundreds of servants and reserves nearly entire hotels for this purpose?

And nearly every prostitute in the city too.

As I understand it, no Jew is allowed to become a citizen of Saudi Arabia. I don't know if this is still true, so perhaps our Jewish friends can comment if they know anything regarding this.

Beyond citizenship, essentially a Jew can't travel there. As I understand it, if you answer Jewish to the religion question on the Visa ap, you'll be denied. I believe non-Jews can travel only with an approved sponsor or on an approved tour, you can't just travel around Saudi Arabia.

Boy, those multiple wife family trees look different from the ones my kids had to make in school.

hahaha the same.

my friend's father is an x-ray technician, and did some scans for a few members of the Saudi royal family years ago when they were visiting Houston, on business. When they were told the hospital did not have the equipment needed to do a certain type of scan, the Saudis BOUGHT one, for around $10 million-ish. My friend's dad has a few stories about the royal family, but that was years ago.

The fact that Bandar is no longer ambassador and is back in SA is intiguing.

Have you ever noticed how lazy those saudis look especially the Royals. Everytime they are on TV it looks like they reporter put the Camera on slow. Everytime they sit down they kinda float in their chairs. They cant really sit up right in their chairs

"You have to have moved to a certain place culturally and a certain level of positive economic growth to avoid electing crazy folk"

I probably agree but about 50% of the voters in the USA are more than ready to elect "crazy folk"

The Crown Prince is not necessarily the next King. This has the potential to be a problem.

I forgot Bandar is no longer ambassador. This is interesting. He's a Dallas Cowboys fan, likes dogs, and has a "palace" in Colorado.

Even if he does ascend to the thrown ( IIRC he's been doing the job for years) am most concerned about who the next crown prince will be....There area couple who are down right hostile to the US.

I would expect anybody who is anybody in the sucession process is back home right now. I'm sure several had to cut short visits to the Riviera and such.
