I wish he were our president.

Exactly my sentiments.

.And my paperwhites have just finished flowering.

I’m interested in growing some fresh herbs and starting a garden…kind of like a Victory Garden…uh..
I also have been indulging in the odd reality tv program and other sick shows like “Gossip Girl.”

I’m telling you, this election has done all sorts of crazy things to my mind.

The selection of Netanyahu may be a reply that tells Obama to keep his nose out of Israeli internal politics.

I think the Israeli’s recognize Obama for what he is: the first president in generations who will turn his back on them. No small wonder they kept at Hamas in Gaza right up until The One’s coronation inauguration day.

Hey–great idea–let’s have NYU invite Bibi to speak to the wayward brats who barricaded themselves into the school cafeteria with their list of “demands.” Now THAT’s entertainment!

The amount of Fire and Brimstone that needs to happen quickly will keep all the politics in the back seat until they are done. After that, he will be happy to let the next PM do what they will, after he saves the Nation of Israel from destruction.

Shift gears. If you haven’t read Atlas Shrugged, do it now. The book’s too long by half, the writer sucks, the story is absurd, but the parallels between what she envisions and what is going on before my very eyes are unbelieveable.

I keep hearing phrases from the Democrats that could have been lifted from the book, which was written in 1957 by a libertarian lady with some pretty powerful sexual fantasies.

I have my Atlas Shrugged 35th Anniversary edition waiting for me now. Next on my list. I’ll be reading it from my compound in Idaho, after escapaing Los Angeles – (fantasy – have the compound, but haven’t escaped LA yet)

Mazal-tov!

Does Peres’ pick send a message to the Obama administration?

Peres had no choice. The left only got 55 seats, and 11 of those were arab parties. Trust me, if Livni had any chance, at all, of building a government, Peres would have given her the shot, first.

It was the Israeli public that was voting for their own survival, with nothing about any messages to anyone in Washington.

ah well, you’ve still got them to look forward to. Keep warm now :)

Sorry to go off topic…Am just pining for Spring.

How I envy you your paperwhites. All mine here in the Northeast are still sleeping soundly under a blanket of snow. Not even a snow drop yet.

I distract myself with Pottery Barn catalogs.

LOL! I alternate between “Container gardening for the Southern Cottage gardener” and whacking mutants in Fallout 3. The sight of the post-nuclear holocaust Washington DC area is quite breathtaking, if your graphics card can handle it.And my paperwhites have just finished flowering.

Seriously, though, the right man has the job. He’s the only modern leader of the Jewish state that can make the mullahs shiite in their burqas.

LOL – I know! It’s absurd! I feel like I’m having a non-stop nightmare with this clown…

Being honest, I still wake up thinkinh someone, anyone, is going to indict him on any number of things and America can do one, grand “take back.” It just feels so surreal…like, a tragic mistake we can’t undo…I distract myself with Pottery Barn catalogs.

Jaibones on February 20, 2009 at 1:52 PM

That was a great review. I agree completely. And it’s a must read. Well done.

HE. HAS. NOT. DONE. ANYTHING. IN. HIS. LIFE.

Bibi is most definitely in the running for sexiest man on earth.

There. I said it.

capitalist piglet on February 20, 2009 at 1:34 PM

Definitely. Of course, Obama will win and, apparently, Jesus will come in at a neat third place.

The Chicago Sun Times will disagree with you. Front page cites an online poll which ranks Obama as #1 hero in the world. Jesus came in 2nd.

Please tell me you’re making that up.

Just doesn’t scream hot to me, you know?
