No doubt he is now saying, "See what I mean?"

News from Saudi Arabia.

A Saudi woman is seeking a divorce after she found out that her husband had nicknamed her 'Guantanamo' on his mobile phone.

The woman made the discovery while examining the list of contacts in her husband's phone when he left it at home one day, the Al-Watan newspaper reported.

The Riyadh newspaper did not name the woman or her husband, whose comparison between life with his wife and life within the detention centre at the US naval base in Cuba may have proved ill judged.

His wife has since decided to end their 17-year marriage and is seeking a divorce.

But the newspaper suggested she might settle for "substantial" financial compensation from her husband and stay married to him.

I am sure that if he pays her off and stays married to her, he will have to change her cell phone nickname to Evin.

Brooks on Obama

No, not David Brooks.

Daniel Henninger in the Wall Street Journal mentions an anecdote from Harry Reid's upcoming book.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, in a book out next week, tells of congratulating freshman Sen. Obama on a phenomenal speech. Without a hint of conceit, Mr. Obama replied, "Harry, I have a gift."

And, of course, one immediately recalls Mel Brooks.

Life imitates movies

First, we have "Weekend at Bernie's": Men Wheel Dead Roommate to Check Cashing Store, Arrested for Trying to Cash His Social Security Check

Second, "Idle Hands": Man Sees 'Mark of the Beast'; Cuts Off, Microwaves Hand

Lastly, "The Godfather": Man Gets Probation for Mailing Cow's Head to Wife's Lover

BONUS -- I can't remember the movie (if there was one), but there should be one: Polish Man Finds Wife Working in Brothel (come to think of it, it's a bit reminiscent of the Rupert Holmes song "Escape (The Pina Colada Song).")
