Our King has the intellectual prowess of John F. Kennedy
It's time to lighten things up around here. I've decided to expand my collection of royal windshield art to include other artistic depictions of everybody's favorite king. I took this picture at a golf course (yes, a golf course) about fifteen minutes south of Amman. The Corona banners add a nice touch.

Interesting photo! However, if I am not mistaken, the Lebanese poet Khalil Gibron is actually credited with that statement, JFK just didn't credit him when he said it.
I couldn't rest without looking for some more background...this is from the following site:

The quote comes from The New Frontier which Gibran had written thirty six years before:
“Are you a politician asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country?”
