Hi again!
In a stroke of true idiocy , our feckless leaders unilaterally declared a cease-fire. Of course, the immediate response was all too predictable. Hizbullah's bizarre rantings about war casualties make me wonder how much hashish they've been smoking.
For some reason, we seem to misunderstand our enemies' concepts of mercy. It is incredible to me that we could possibly misunderstand them, when they make it explicitly clear what they think. Are we really so stupid? Given that the Israeli courts are allowing the Arab parties (banned last week by the Central Election Committee) to run after all, I think the answer is "yes"...
Since the Arab media thinks "human shield" is something humorous, it's good to see an eye for an eye has literal meaning. As does divine justice! Doubtless they'll blame the Mossad.
Tasteless but funny:
- A cowboy, an Indian, and an Ay-rab were sitting in a bar.
- The Indian said: "Once upon a time, my people were very many; today we are very few".
- The Ay-rab said: "Walla, once my beoble were very few, today we are very many".
- The cowboy said: "Yup, that's 'cos we ain't played cowboys and Ay-rabs yet".
The USA got a new president this week, but I didn't see any miracles from Saint Obama just yet. Maybe I'm naive, but I find it difficult to understand how he intends to fund his programs. Oh, and if you were working for the evil Microsoft (which despite many years of record-breaking profits, just let 5,000 employees go) you might consider the pink-slip special. "Boo, hiss!" to Microsoft.
Until next week,
Shabbat shalom!
