Yea, who paid?
: Sure thing, I can never extoll his utter lack of decency and honor enough, especially as he tries to convince us all he has a mandate from the entire San Diego Chaldean community cause they see the "mark of Jesus" (his words) on his forehead...when all he has is the mark of my boot on his big ass.
: Our first meeting was at his place of employment...at Kaiser Electronics, another one of those comapnies that started by making milk and cookies but turned to killing people cause there's a future in that. He showed off their latest device, a night vision helmet with a plastic face screen that lets the soldier find where exactly a kid, an Iraqi baby, is sleeping in his mother's arms...so he can shoot the little Islamic Fundamentalist before he grows up to annoy Ghassan.
: It was repulsive but I held my tongue...I wondered why this Chaldean Activist, a man tirelessly committed to exaggerating his worth to us, would work in the American Defense Industry, and be so proud that he did. We sat in his cubicle and slowly got to not know each other.
: The next time we met he took me to a kebob joint where he proceeded to screech invectives, calling everyone a motherfucker, including several bishops and Mar Ibrahim, the holy of holies for the Chaldeans. I suppose by dropping his guard and his pant too, metaphorically speaking, was his way of showing me that he too could be "Bad". We were supposed to bond in filth and vulgarity.
: Then he came to his whole point...would I lay off of Andreas please cause the guy was a real and true gem of a lover of us all...it would take a Gassman to appreciate an Andreas. He also wanted to counsel me on how I should conduct myself...in other words I should join him in deviousness and stop being so damn blunt and outspoken. I was skeeved as hell that he ever thought there was the slightest chance of making an ally of me...and I knew I would be motherfucked to death once I left his sleazy presence.
: I complimented him once on his lovely daughter whose photo he placed on his site, but cautioned that he might want to remove it as any number of people would take shots at her, something he addmitted his wife just prevailed upon him to do for the same reasons...then, when people began dragging my father out of his grave and Aprim started posting about my children and what a cheat I am etc...I politely pointed out that perhaps he should intercede for the same reasons I, and his wife, had reminded him of...that it was not becomming to drag our children and families in the mud that his forum was...that he and I were both vulnerable etc...but the more you know him the less respect you have for him, or yourself for having ever been fooled by his silly Soviet Era rhetoric and outmoded style. I saw him quickly enough for what he is, and he can't forgive me for being such a jerk himself, like I had anything to do with it.
: Anything else?
