Interesting how American Jews living in Israel have such a differing perspective from those living in south Florida.  From the International Herald Tribune : " An Israeli pollster says that if the country were on the U.S. election map, it would be bright red. A survey of Americans in the Holy Land released Thursday found that absentee voters supported Republican John McCain over Barack Obama by...

...was allowed to land this week in Gaza. A bunch of Western antisemites showed up to talk about the "prison" that supposedly is Gaza. Of course they didn't talk about the Gazans declaring war against Israel's existence, that would show their true hypocrisy; but it gets even more blatant. Today, to show just how put upon the peace loving Gazans are, and in honor of the Free Gazan visit, another rocket...

... Have illegal aliens build a wall between the United States and Mexico, and then, repatriate them. Pay them a one-time worker fee." Problem: I can't support this in any shape or form.

I'm looking forward to leaving for Israel and Christmas!:) Btw, I can't exactly believe it's snowing today, I mean it's October! Anyway, I love this song:D

The Good News. In my cold, wet hands I now hold the Ultimate 2-Disc Edition of Iron Man . Oh yes. Oh so very yes. Just as my fandom excitement began to dwindle due to the fact that I hadn't watched...something to keep the admin office head above water. This is so fucked up. I cannot even describe it.
