    It's Pretty Amazing

    how few readers here support Israel's latest blood-fest, even as just about every one of our national political figures that you can name spouts the same old line of unqualified support for Israel. "They is jes potectin' theyselves, folks, and they gots ever right to bomb them schools. Little kids are some real bad terrorists, and that's a fact!"

    It's time to start leading our elected officials in a new direction. It's time to stop the insanity.
