Facelift, name change for Syria's Baath party?
(Hat tip to Publius Pundit. Please note that the primary source is in Arabic only.)
According to a salty Saudi newspaper, Syria's Baath Party is about to hold its first national party congress since the Seventies and will, among other things, drop all references to "socialism" from the party charter and rechristen itself "The Democratic Party." Cosmetic BS though it surely is, it's still a significant development ... if true, of course. (My first thought was "Scrappleface.")
