after the inaugration, W goes back to texas and into his folks' house "well, it's done, dad. from now on, your presidency will look pretty good, in comparison". and his mother says "Georgie, you're a wonderful son. the world will never know how you sacrificed your own reputation, just to save your father's. i know how hard it was for you to stop yourself from doing anything positive or even competent".
well, that explains why so few "peace advocates" become human shields against suicide bombers of israeli buses and discos, random missile attacks on sderot, etc. I mean, those guys will kill you for damn sure, no questions asked. it's always easier to become a human shield confronting the side you really think isn't as bloodthristy, even if your rhetoric doesn't show it.
why ask when you can look it up? http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/events/aia/wilson95.htm#chap9
And the NRA? You are actually suggesting the Israel Lobby is more powerful than the NRA? I gather you haven't been following the news or you would have noticed the headlines when the NRA displaced the AARP as Fortune magazine's pick of the most powerful lobbying organization, when the Republicans ascended into power. Said rightward tilt having more to do with the power of the "Israel Lobby" than any actual regard for Israel, much as the Bush administration did not actually join with the NRA in a belief that democracy depended on each home stocking an AR-15.
I'm also surprised you haven't noted how many American elections seem to depend on the results in Florida, which ends up meaning that candidates bend way over backwards to keep a small but devout group of rabidly rightwing Cuban exiles happy, with serious foreign policy influences on the US.

we'll just have to survive without their services. that's the price we pay for living in a civilized society. we'll just have to limp along without them, no matter how difficult it may be. i hope we manage to pull through.
i don't think the point here is to make fun of biden himself....
amazon, for instance, oughta have a "swine flue free shipping" month, or somemthing like that.
as to why christ was just kidding about that renunciation of worldy goods stuff:
"Jesus said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions."
of course, he was serious about that "no homos!" thing.
