Irony
One of the young women lost in the Iraq tragedy yesterday was from Palestine, West Virginia. Like the Shuttle breaking up over Palestine, Texas (and particularly the combination), what are the odds of that?
Until either of these events, I'd never heard of any town in America by that name.

You've got to wonder what's happening in Paris, Texas these days.
I mean besides Harry Dean Stanton wandering around mumbling incoherently.

Biblical names (or those of related areas) are plenty common, at least out West.
Oregon alone has a Damascus and a Lebanon, just off the top of my head. And then there's Utah.

Well, I know of an East Palestine Ohio, which means there must be a West Palestine, or just plain Palestine, around here too.

There's also a Palestine in Oregon. Not far from Lebanon in fact.
