And now, some shocking news

[ih8music]

Where on Earth would be safe for her? The North Pole? The Marianas Trench?

I understand there's some coastal property that could probably be picked up for a bargain right about now.

[LouieB]

I am surprised she does not move away some where.

Well the story on the news this AM was that they are adding to her property. But now that she is a millionaire I guess she could go anywhere she wants.

The North Pole?

 

"Ya, the North Poll there, that's just an instrument of the "gotcha!" mainstream media, questionin' all those folks up in those Northern states like Chicago and Boston who never even heard of makin' an honest day's work, like those good Christian people down there gettin' us oil extra fast in Delta, Louisiana. Yeah, that North Poll there might say some people are upset with us, but they can keep on with those wind farms of theirs - nothin' but a bunch of blowhards, anyways."

 

Yeah, she could be safe there.

This is a fairly bizarre story also. The writer next door is now freaked out about reporters coming to see him about his writing the book and has threated to call the police if the press and others step on the property which he is renting.

I find that funnier than all get out. He's eager to intrude on her 'privacy', yet he's posted no trespassing signs and is throwing around all kinds of righteous indignation at his fellow travelers.

Sarah shares her wisdom regarding that little mishap involving Israel and Gaza bound aid supplies - suprisingly, she comes down on the side of the Israeli commandoes who just sort of found themselves on a ship located in international waters, and were not quite as warmly welcomed as anticipated - take this you lousy liberal media:

 

Israeli Flotilla: Don't Take Mainstream Media Coverage at Face Value

 

The media, as usual, seems to be reporting only one side of the Israeli Flotilla incident. Don't trust the mainstream media to give you both sides of a story fairly... you must seek out fair reporting to ensure you have all the information.

 

As far too many in the media, and in various governments, rush to condemn Israel, we must put the recent events off Israel’s coast into the right perspective. This “relief” convoy was not about humanitarian aid, as the liberal mainstream media keeps reporting. The whole operation was designed to provoke Israel, not to provide supplies to Palestinians held hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Anyone who sees the video of Israeli commandos being attacked as they land on that ship knows the people aboard were vicious thugs, not “peace activists.” The media insults our intelligence with their outright mischaracterization of who these enemies are.

 

Israel delivers thousands of tons of humanitarian supplies every week to Gaza. These ships could have offloaded their cargoes at a nearby Israeli port if they really wanted to help the people of Gaza. Instead, they chose to incite confrontation and violence. Israel has a right to prevent arms shipments to Gaza that will be used to target innocent Israelis, so they were legitimately checking the cargo on the flotilla. Turkey has chosen to condemn Israel but we should be asking some serious questions about Turkey’s role in this whole affair. Why is a fellow member of NATO sponsoring such a dangerous publicity stunt? As one expert points out: “Three ships of that six-ship pro-terror convoy flew Turkish flags and were crowded with Turkish citizens. The Ankara government -- led by Islamists these days -- sponsored the "aid" operation in a move to position itself as the new champion of the Palestinians. And Turkish decision-makers knew Israel would have to react -- and were waiting to exploit the inevitable clash. The provocation was as cynical as it was carefully orchestrated.”

 

We can only hope the Obama Administration does not join the anti-Israel chorus in the aftermath of this staged confrontation. Please, Mr. President, we need to let Israelis know we stand with them in their fight against terrorists and those who arm and support them. America and her ally, Israel, stand by waiting for your response.

there's some available space at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.

Since no one else has written it yet, I will go ahead: "But Sarah Palin IS a Marianas Trench!"

[Dude]

This is pretty common knowledge, but the only reason Palin has been a vocal supporter of Israel (this and several other occasions) is because she is a crazedy Evangelical who believes a strong Israeli government is a prerequisite for Jesus Christ Almighty to swoop down in his Holy-Copter and shoot the living crap out of some wolves.

Yep – I’m just relieved that a fair number of our politicians’ foreign policy views are directly attributable to biblical prophecies, and not like, worthless old reality – it really bodes well for the continued longevity of this neat little civilization thing we’ve got going here.

That's probably not the only reason, but the problem is that (according to pre-Millennialist thought) for the Jesus Comeback Countdown to start, the Nation of Israel has to be reborn (check) and the Temple has to be rebuilt on the Temple Mount, which is currently occupied by the Dome of the Rock, one of the holiest sites in all Islam. This is where ultra-Jews and ultra-evangelicals find common cause, but it will literally set off World War III if the Al-Aqsa mosque is attempted to be removed. And it's worth keeping in mind that Jesus himself is quoted as saying, "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." Amen.

[Good Old Neon]

It’s touching that God, creator of the universe and everything in it, would take so much interest in a real estate feud taking place here on earth. I feel so warm and special.

 

Maybe Jesus really does want us as his sunbeams.

[LouieB]

Yea, all that right wing prophecy stuff could be the reason or it could be the same old political reason; that no one from the right wing nut jobs through the slightly leftish side wants to mess with the Israel lobby and the Jewish vote. Nor is anyone really serious about telling both the Israelis and the wacked out Palestinians that is time to cut the crap, demilitarize, and finally work out a two state solution that the entire world can live with long term. It is way too profitable to keep selling arms to both sides and scoop up all the mideast oil we can.

 

Palestinians could have a state tomorrow if they engaged in non-violent resistance and if they agreed in principal to recognize Israel's right to exist. But the US also has to stop supporting Israel's whims and get them start being serious about negotiating with the Palestinians. Sadly this is not the time and the place that this is going to happen.

Does anyone seriously think that Sarah Palin composes these missives herself? Good article from an Israeli scholar today on this incidennt in the Wall Street Journal. He made the valid point that Israel no longer gives a flying eff about world opinion and must have known how putting armed commandos on this boat would play out.
