Yes! Good one! Though my first thought was that Shep's "gone Seacrest." He's got a short straight-up do with amber & blond mixed in.

BTW..I was listening to Rush a little while ago...and this woman called in and said she is the woman that does the Atlas Shrugged blog...and she came from some Back Israel rally or something..

And she said that there were thousands there, also.

She and Rush got into a debate over whether Daily Kos or Huffington Post is the "most important" lib blog...LOL

I know many FReepers don't like Shep cuz he's a "Drama Queen" but I like him because he has personality.

Supposedly Imad Mugniyah was in Damascus meeting with Ahmadinejad and Assad sometime around the beginning of the year; January I believe. It was around the time of the Danish cartoons fracas.
