My dear JonathanInTelAviv,

I wasn't aware that Venezuela was an enemy of Israel. When do we start shooting hellfire missiles at them and seizing our oil fields?

Just to be certain, are the oil fields in Venezuela ours or Israel's?

Who gets to lynch Chavez, your team or ours?

Will Citgo still give us sweet deals on heating oil?

What are we going to do with all those Spanish speaking people who are living there? Do we exile them or teach them Hebrew and convert them?

What about North Korea? Didn't Solomon have a summer palace there that the Phoenicians built for him? Can't we just have it annexed to Israel and solve the nuclear missile threat once and for all?

What about China. It hardly seems fair to have Israel split up like that. Can't we annex the too? Think of all the Chinese food - it's almost Kosher and if they are annexed, think of all the job opportunities for Rabbis to Kosherize Chinese food. Annexing China seems to be a win win for everyone and I would rather than our debt be held by Jewish Bankers rather than Chinese Communists.

I know, with a mind like mine, I should be Secretary of State. My bootay isn't big enough.

Once you do the bidding of the CIA and Mossad,

Then you will be martyred real quick and be replaced with a more sedate operative.

Those who dance with the devil, get burned.

Come on, just look at the MSM coverage. Is this not the voice of the CIA and Mossad, just like all the other "mideast" scenarios that have been shoved down our throat by the MSM?

When the MSM is in lockstep, fascism is on the march and the truth is nowhere to be found.

Obama isn't saying anything because his bosses haven't typed anything to say about this on his tele prompter.

We have done this sort of thing lots of times in the past and in Iran in 1953.

Original article: "The Proposal"

Manufactured product

with no reason for existing except to sell tickets so that people can enjoy the air conditioning.

Is there anything about this movie that makes it worth watching aside from Ms. White groping for Ms. Bullock's breasts?

Now if Ms. White had been the woman who needed to get married, that could have been funny and entertaining.

The prospect of seeing Sandra Bullock laying naked on Ryan Reynolds and having a hissy fit just doesn't seem like a good deal for 9 bucks.

Besides, immigration law is for poor brown people, not white executives.

We are supposed to empathize with a character who is an asshole? Well, if you can empathize with an asshole you probably are one and thus you couldn't empathize with one.

Catch-22.

Keep giving us worthless and dreadful characters to empathize with and we will keep buying tickets, only because we can say that we are not as bad as our role models.

Subplot?

Hell! Does the thing even HAVE a plot?

I am certain that if the movie did have a plot, that Will Farrell would not be aware of it much less have an idea about it.

The Cowbell was Will Ferrell's zenith.

Everything else is the nadir.

My dear GLR,

Wrestling fake?

There are some things we would rather not know.

First Santa Claus, then the Easter Bunny, then Religion and now WRESTLING?

What is there left to believe in?

Protestors in America don't get this kind of coverage.

Anti war demonstrations don't even get a mention.

Teabaggers, Letterman protests and foreign nationals bitching about the right country get coverage.

Dissent in America? It just cannot happen.

That's BARBARIC!

They should put them in "Free Speech Zones" and THEN teargas them and beat them.

They could learn a lot from America.

Hey, I bet we could sell them a hundred thousand TASERS.

That would help the economy, right?

Original article: Memo to President Obama

Why are you pretending that anything will change?

I don't think he is reading your memos.

Obama is about as interested in Universal Healthcare as he is in ending the wars.

Please write about something serious - like rainbows and unicorns.

Is it really that important to pretend we are not under fascist rule?

Fascists don't care about healthcare - that is for the elite.

The interests of the War Industry trump journalism and the public.

Why do you think all those ads are for? they are bribes. Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Nothrup Grumman, General Dynamics, and Halliburton are not selling products to the average reader of a newspaper.

They want people who make war sound like fun, glory and something we cannot live without.

They can't.

Original article: Roundup: Movies not to miss

I am in favor of dead nazis.

It sounds like it needs some bikinis and it should have been set in Washington D. C.. Half of the Cabinet and half of Congress are undead Nazis anyway.

Movies can't outdo reality.

Benito Mussolini

used to hold his head like that.

At least the trains ran on time.

My dear GLR,

The 2000 Presidential election.

Florida is the exception to the union and is the only state to have its own tag at FARK.com.

States with Gators and walking catfish have no place in the Union. Let Israel have it. Give Louisiana back to the French now that we have sunk it let them use it to farm snails and crawfish.

As for Georgia, I say we put a fence around it and put every land mine we have around that hellhole and let Florida use it for target practice.
