"Most of us support the right of Israel to exist as an independent state secure within its own borders. That doesn't make us Zionists"

Why, as a matter of fact, yes it does. And second, what are Israel's borders? Do you know where they are? The Israelis don't.

And Israel never has, and never will, exist as an"independent state" It's own founders knew it could only exist within the context of a colonial rubric in the area. Then the British left, and new protector was needed.

But yes, it most definitely makes you a ZIonist. Don't feel bad, there are worse things than that, and sometimes you can even get prole or early release.

Glenn is slipping!

If you take seriously anything Tom Friedman says and think it's worthy of discussion, you have slipped a cog, man.

Do you think Tom Friedman really knows just how dependent Israeli is on US support? I really doubt it.

If you deconstruct what Friedman says, it mostly comes out to:

"Why can't wee leave the Israelis alone to kill the Palestinians, and after that they will be much nicer people"

Remember, you never get back the brain cells you lose by reading Friedman.

The 7 1/2 tons of steel debris from ground zero had been melted down to form the bow of the USS New York as

"Melted down", no doubt, over a commerative fire of jet fuel and office furnishings.

Well, I think I'll just leave that playing.

Living til wednesday, when Macintyre Organ Service comes to fix the A-100.

Don't know how I'll play without an arm and a leg (Cause that's what they charge). Oh well, maybe they can get it through the nose...

Typical of you, you put in the entirely wrong link! The correct link is:

The 1976 NY concert version is even (in my opinion) better.

"repossessing expedition"

Very little debt at Moosehall, entirely, I freely admit, due to my wife's good money managing abilities and habits. (Her Mom is in Guiness as "Worlds Cheapest Woman" and her daughter is looking to take the spot) Our refrigerator-box is entirely paid for, and we were even able to add a washing-machine box for extra room. All three bicycles are paid for, and I have a bunch of expensive toys like a stapler, several different sets of tweezers, and some cool flashlights. The TV broke earlier this year when the stations went digital and I haven't been able to fix it, tho.

So there's very little debt, just an overwhelming sense of obligation and a certain amount of guilt.

And all the poor smashed animals on the roads, it's been awful this year.

"We all one animal".

And all animals are equal! But some are more equal than others.

Now, Callie, do you remember what kind of animals that equal-animals story was about? Doesn't that tell you anything? Huh?

HIDE THE ORGAN MOOSE!!

I've seen some of those Nature TV specials ("Ungulates gone Wild!", "Bullwinkle does Boston" etc.) and it's a pretty hard thing to do.

"Just occasionally Derbig feels a sense of self loathing"

Sure, sure, Lad, and you can melt steal beams over a kerosene and office-furnishing fire, too.

And besides, why shouldn't I have some self-loathing? After all, I'm only human, except for the part that's pure ungulate.

there is nothing better on this planet than jewish humor!

Callie wouldn't know Jewish humor if it kicked him right in the kishkas. That's cause he isn't Jewish, you see. He's just a Christian Dominionist who hasn't been baptised yet.

Can anybody point to any divergence between him and a Phelps-follower? None whatsoever, right down to "all the kids are on our side" nonsense.

I feel sorry for the guy, self-induced Stockholm syndrome on top of a bad case of ziocaine addiction is a hard thing to beat.

Like an onion, with his head in the ground.

Yeah, you bet Suggs! The present younger generation of Jews are all fervrent Zionists, and it's the older guys, like me that are anti-zionist. Yeah, you just keep going on that basis, you'll get real far.

But one thing has always been obvious: Nobody believes there are too many Jews like Zionists. They always want to get rid of some. The Jews are never are good enough for Zionists, until they are dead Jews. And Gott forbid Jews should actually get along with their neighbors! To you, that's "cringing"?

Well, you know what, Callie, adopting the National Socialist viewpoint because the Nazis killed so many of us, and adopting colonial settler shemes because the Gentiles seem to like them and will support them is cringing, in my opinion.

"You are making fun of Jew's pain."

Awww! Poor Bubele

Oy, Oy, you are makink fun of my pain Oy, how it hurts, being Jewish!

Man, you are a disgusting piece of work.

Saturday, November 7, 2009 09:37 AM

@ Lt. Callie

But of course, since the ZIonists have always been so sympathetic towards other people's pain, maybe we should!

"You are making fun of Jew's pain"

I always knew the Zionists would completely destroy Jewish humor. I can put up with a lot, but that is simply beyond the pale!

Saturday, November 7, 2009 09:33 AM

You think they were all faking it?

Not really makin' it? Look,I'm such a dubious soul,

And a walk in the garden wears me down.

Tangled in the fallen vines,

Pickin' up the punch lines,

drinking my vodka-and-lime while outside the sky is a hazy shade of winter.

Look, my buddy Barry wants to call it "Hammondrescue.com", and I keep on telling him "Suzuki bought those names, Hammond and Leslie, and they are pretty jealous of them, we should call it "tonewheel rescue" or something, "tonewheel" being a generic term, not a proprietary one. But I see now, we need to call it "Washington's Organ Company". After all, he was the Father of our Country, and the slogan follows so natcherl: "It's no lie, we chopped it"!

So, should we [allow muslims into the military]?

I believe the 2nd Amendment answers that question very clearly.

Or maybe the second Amendment means that no American citizen should be deprived of the means of shooting his wife, or leaving the means of curing adolescent depression handy for his kids. I don't really know.
