Oh Say Does That Star-Spangled Banner Yet Wave...

Tomorrow has just been declared a public- and private-sector holiday for all of Dubai thanks to the presidential visit and the road closures, traffic jams, and security concerns that my compatriots have so generously brought with them.

I never thought I'd say it, but G-d d@mn it, I love George W. Bush.

I'm off to go stock up on groceries and get mimosa/Bloody Mary fixins' before all the roads close... I love it, today has such a festive, pre-blizzard, calm-before-the-storm feel!

(If you don't think about the fact that this is basically a citywide curfew and the roads will be patrolled by tanks.)
