dubai-lagoon.jpgNow renting at a steep discountNot to pile on Dubai today, but we thought we’d offer a hearty congratulations to the crowd of media-hungry, isolationist, rabble-rousing politicians who fought so hard three-and-a-half years ago to keep American ports out of the hands of Dubai Ports World, a subsidiary of Dubai World, formerly thought to be a subsidiary of the Dubai government.
Now, we know their concerns had more to do with the unpleasant prospect of Arabs running out ports than with an impending debt crisis in the emirate, but bravo. Your racism has helped insure our shipping industry isn’t relying on a bankrupt disaster of a company.
Who wound up buying those ports, again? Oh, right. These guys.

    Racism, for lack of a better word, is good. Racism works.

    We own da fuckin’ port, for Christ sakes. Dey were never for sale.
    We just didn’t want the A-rabs to operate them. We prefer da Mafia, which runs a more efficient operation.
