Julie and I used to live on a quiet tree lined street in the heart of Amman. Next door to us is a television production company called ABS, which also happens to be the Jordan arm of Al-Jazeera. So for the past week, in an effort to get on TV, small groups of about 20 or so young men park their cars in the middle of the road late at night with their stereos blasting and start chanting something. I'm not sure the literal translation, but I believe "I'm a little dumb ass, put me on TV" is pretty close. I'm in no way trying to demean the legitimate protests happening here in Jordan, but these guys are getting on my nerves.
Sounds like a sweet lullaby. How come you're having trouble falling asleep?
