It seems the first lady of Iceland is a Huffington Post contributor and Jewish, too. Weird.

Which is weirder?
As for the substance of her post, does anyone actually think that (unless we worldwide discover climate control technology like in Star Trek) the Summer Olympics will be in any desert country or a country that close to the equator anytime soon? You never know when on the day of the marathon the mercury could hit 120 degrees.
This is stupid and apropos of nothing.
More relevant -- why does Yglesias have a problem with Goldberg. Could it be b/c Goldberg actually knows what he's talking about, given he goes out and actually "reports" on matters while Matt spews out gibberish beyond gibberish concerning things about which he knows next to nothing?
Feh. This is Qatar we're talking about. They can just build a giant air-conditioned indoor Olympic Village powered by burning an extra few cubic miles of natural gas a day. Maybe for extra flair they could have the Olympic Village hoisted into the air by giant helicopters and have the olympics take place suspended a few thousand feet in the air.
I just exploded.
Stormfront.org is disgusted. I will not link. On your head be it.
She's the only person on Earth who thinks the Olympics should be in Qatar. That makes her a Qatar solo...

You nailed it. Maybe I should quit and go to law school.
The post may have been written by Moussaieff herself, but the text reads like something edited with the help of the Foreign Ministry. I'd need to research why Iceland would feel the need to blow kisses to Qatar.
Yes, the Qataris could afford to a/c the heck out of the facilities. They must be feeling bullish on the prospect of a US regional draw down. Otherwise, they'll need to turn down the thermostat to drown out the roar of the traffic out of Al Udeid AFB.
2016 may be too early, but if the 2014 World Cup goes on without a hitch, I'm pretty sure Rio de Janeiro, Brazil will host the 2020 Summer Olympics.
(No South American country has ever hosted the Olympics, be they summer or winter - and yes, Bariloche in Argentina could probably host the winter olympics. Bs. As., Argentina was the runner-up in 1956 to Melbourne).

Who has more intellectual integrity, Steve Sailer or David Duke?
Be interested to know if she was First Lady when the Icelandic Parliament voted something like 212-0 to make the late, uber-great Bobby Fischer a citizen of Iceland. As something of an expert on the subject...I would say that Grandmaster Deluxe Bobby's anti-Semitism was a melange of Celine and "Plan 9 From Outer Space".
She's Israeli - probably wants to convince Qatar to allow the US to use its territory to attack Iran...
Wow, this thread turned weird and kinda creepy.
Re: Trevor
Fischer was granted citizenship in 2005, Moussaieff married the president in 2003. So, yes. The actual vote was 40-0 with two abstentions.

Cool. Having a comely Jewess seduce a powerful goy leader was the key to stopping Haman's plan in the Book of Esther. Never know when it might come in handy. I don't think it's really necessary, unless Chris Ford moves to Iceland.
By the way, when a big name contributor to HuffPost makes a post, is that really supposed to be the writing of the putative author, or is it just generally supposed to be a sort of release of the author's position? (I don't know HuffPost's policies, but I was wondering because I was just thinking that it seems like Dorrit Moussaieff's post seems to be her opinion on an issue fairly unrelated to Icelandic politics, so it seems like the kind of things she'd have written herself.)
