Yeah, no doubt about it, I should've been more forthcoming with regard to the significance of the assassination of King Abdullah of Jordan in 1951. And I shall, indeed, in a bit.

First, however, I want to follow up on my appraisal of President Barack Hussein Obama. As regards his nomination for Supreme Court Justice, I'm predicting the President will live up to his reputation as "No Drama Obama". I'm predicting the nominee will be a white dude, undoubtedly liberally oriented as well as rich in credentials as a judiciary stalwart with a broad range of experience.

Here's the kicker. This white dude will be plucked from a judicial district in the scarlet red erstwhile Confederacy. And I made this prediction as of the date I submitted this piece to The MOST, specifically, Saturday May 2, 2009.

Okay, I realize that I've put myself in a situation, wherein I just might become the laughing stock for this particular chapter of Mensa. Please lemme eyedee myself as A Alexander Stella of Susquehanna Depot in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. If yer goin' go, go all the way - in for a nickel, in for a fin ..

Now, I should like to tackle the significance of the assassination of King Abdullah of Jordan. The monarch met up with Allah within the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Just so happens, the site of this particular place of worship is sacred to both Muslims and Jews. Oh, yeah, Christians think of it as holy.

In a way, the assassination resonates in a rather ethereal realm with the crucifixion of Christ. By the bye, this concept is far from original with me. I owe it to a disbarred lawyer ... well, the guy claimed he was such. Pardon me. That's a story for another time.

Through the assassination of this monarch, the spiritual relationship between Arab and Jew was nullified. And a profoundly spiritual bond between Jew and another people came into existence. In this case, the American people are that people. Here's my other prediction. It won't be long before AMERICAN Zionist Christians glom onto the idea.

Please don't ask me to provide details. My orientation comes down to this sentence: "only what can be proven true can be true." I just ain't qualified to do so. Matters that belong in the realm of the spiritual are beyond my ken, and alien to my disposition.

Although the members of Mensa can be opinionated, the Mensa organization itself has no opinion and remains neutral on issues.
