What I am railing against are ski resorts in sauna-like places and EU tin-pot dictators erecting machines while most likely getting kickbacks from the manufacturers of these monsters. The fix is in. Join the crowd that will help Taki ski in August right here in Gstaad and swim in the Arctic Circle in January off his wind-powered mega-yacht. What a load of bullshit, if you pardon the expression, as the hawkers used to say in front of cheap girlie-show nightclubs.

As The Spectator‘s sainted editor wrote last week in The Telegraph, “God has played a great joke on mankind, granting the best fuel reserves to the worst places.” The good news is that God is no fool, and two of the worst places God first played his joke on are fighting like the greedy little pigs they both are. Qatar and Saudi Arabia, the two countries that gave us Socrates and Shakespeare, Bach and Beethoven, Schubert and Schumann, and the custom of beating up hookers and underlings and leaving hotels without paying their bills, are at war with each other. Not that these camel drivers posing as princes would ever actually fight; Wahhabis pay for others to do the dying, as do Qataris, but they’re having a hair-pulling war like hookers do on a hot day when the brothels are empty. Qatar uses Al Jazeera, which masquerades as an independent news organization, as its mouthpiece. Al Jazeera covers up the horrendous war crimes the al-Nusra and ISIS terrorist groups perpetrate in Syria. The Saudis, more than likely behind the 9/11 Noo Yawk horror, have realized they might be next once Syria becomes just another failed state à la Somalia. So they want Qatar, whose migrant workers are virtual slaves and make up two million out of Qatar’s population of 2,225,000, to desist. The Qataris cannot because they will be next.

I couldn’t give a you-know-what. I’m going skiing. On real snow.
