AACO By Ray Hanania

Columbus, Ohio (Friday, June 10) -- a great show tonight for the Arab Americans of Central Ohio organization. Almost 300 people attended this event chaired by Barakat Saleh and the Columbus Arab American organization. The response was tremendous. Even a delegation of Iraqis dignitaries being shepherded around the US State Department, laughed. Although there was one disappointed member of the audience. A woman who got up when I led the program off with "Welcome to the Gulag" and did a few George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld jokes ... I guess I figured she was upset when she started screaming at me from the back of the hall and then stormed out. Ooops! I wonder if she screams at Jay Lenoooooooo? I've added loads of new material, thanks to the Bush administrations policies. What can I say ... they haven't grabbed me yet ...
