#1 In the West Bank city of Ramallah, Arafat met with his prime minister, Ahmed Qureia, to discuss the political crisis that erupted over continuing violence in Gaza and Qureia's attempt to resign as head of the Palestinian government.

"I totally reject your resignation and consider it nonexistent," Arafat told Qureia at a meeting Sunday, according to Cabinet minister Saeb Erekat. Qureia told his Cabinet on Saturday he was firm in his decision to quit.

Holy political standoff, batman! The Paleo Un-Civil War has begun. I recommend a final trip to France for retirement, Yasser, before Suha finds a way to squander all of your hard-earned ~~off the backs of the people~~ cash.

#3 okay - why is it every time Qureia or AbuBooboo or whatever the hell he calls himself tries to quit, Arafat refuses? it would seem that this is exactly what Arafish wants.

#4 At the risk of stating the completely obvious, I think it's finally started.
