Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - Happy St. Patrick's Day!

1. Hey Madame Secretary, Got Any Harsh Words For This? - Purported al-Awlaki message calls for jihad against U.S. - CNN.com - oh, I forgot - please do not offend the jihadist.......



2. The Settlement Whirlwind - there are lots of insightful articles being published on this whole situation - at least some of which are from the middle to left of the political spectrum. Here's a wide selection - pick and choose - or read 'em all!
3. What Should We Call It? - Ramallah to name street after U.S. activist Rachel Corrie - Haaretz - Israel News - OK - first there is the Terrorist Town Square that was named for Dalal Mughrabi - now there will be a street for Rachel Corrie. Here are some admittedly tasteless suggestions:
  • Pancake Place (my favorite)
  • Bulldozer Boulevard
  • Flag Burner Avenue
  • Exploited Naive Stupid Person Road



6. I'm Canceling My Trip To Copacabana - Da Silva: Tear down W. Bank fence. Hey pal - in South America, you are, shall we say, "somewhat removed" from the threat of homicidal maniacs who deny your right to exist and who deliberately target your civilians. So shut your pie hole and stop worrying about the Palestinians - why don't you worry about a fellow member of the United Nations instead?


7. What Does The US Think About This? - Netanyahu Jr. wins National Bible Quiz - Surely this must be capable of being interpreted as a snub of some sort. Did the Obama daughters or Chelsea Clinton win a similar contest? Did Bibi's son show them up?







12. Stupid Pet Tricks - this made me smile.

  2. Several concerns arise--- first why indeed is the White House still silent about the bombs in Sderot ? Let me guess, they are afraid to offend the world's most thin skinned religion? Crtiticism of Arabs is seen by them as "provocation". Sounds like the old Soviet tactics are alive and well. Good to read that Europeans too are losing their love affair with the Obami so where will this go? Will this push the Israeli's into the Russkies hands? Highly doubtful. So if this kerfaffle is about whose unmentionable ( ego) is bigger, why not let the winner be determined by a bible contest (cynical comment intended) It really is sad that the routine erection of 1600 units has been blown well out of proportion, and how the Americans have played into the Arabs hands again. A.S.
