"His Majesty King Hamad Bin Issa (Bin Technocrat) Al Khalifa yesterday met in al-Jnadriya with his brother Servant of the Two Shrines King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz (Bin Technocrat) Al Saud, monarch of the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Servant of the Two Shrines welcomed his majesty the king and chatted with him about the historical and unique brotherly ties between the two brotherly countries and the growth and development of these ties in many fields. His majesty expressed his pride in how far the thick (that is what he said, mateena, meaning strong) brotherly relations between the two sisterly kingdoms have reached in terms of growth and development in all aspects so that they have become an example for all brotherly ties. His majesty the king and the Servant of the Two Shrines reviewed views and ideas about the Gulf Unification project that was approved by the leaders of the GCC during the 32nd session of the Supreme Council………..”

All that from a royal daily newspaper of Bahrain, (the lousy English is my quickie translation from Arabic).
All these sisterly and brotherly sentiments and love and affection and lust reeking of extra sweet sugary tea and incense and dihin oud musk oil (and some BO). How can sisterly countries have brotherly feelings to each other, pray tell? Flipping between sisterly and brotherly, but no mention of motherly or fatherly love and affection between the two monarchs, or rather the Saudi king and his satrap, the effective governor of his fourteenth province of Bahrain. And it's not even St. Valentines Day yet.

If I were rude and crude, which I ain't, I’d ruin the nearly romantic atmosphere, ruin the mood of those two romancing potentates by mentioning the one word that often describes such hypocritical sessions: claptrap. But I am not rude or crude, so I won’t use the term ‘claptrap’ or the term ‘bullshit’.
