Palin Populism, Palin Popularity, The Palin Cult: Sigh... Yes, we saw the video(s) of the lines forming this morning at the Grand Rapids bookstore where Ms. Palin will be signing books on her tour. For those who can't make it through the first wave, we heard those turned away will be given (?) bracelets for their return book signing. Is she a cult figure? Or should the book title be; 'Gidget Goes Rogue'? Will 'b*tch*n' be replaced by "(You) betcha'"?

Illusory Peace

Illusory Peace: With reference to the current and ongoing unfortunate state of affairs in the Holy Land and the recent comments made by the controversial and much-maligned current Deputy Minister of Israel and Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs. Is the Holy Land Peace possible with such persons making impossible statements and withholding the olive branches?

Israel-Palestine

Israel-Palestine: If we are "ever" to have peace in the Middle East, it seems some parties will have to relent and give in to the suggested two-state system for a proposed unified Israel with Palestine. (1) The combined 2-state statehood of Israel and Palestine. (2) The bringing about of the (1) via the Pax Obama. (3) The metaphor for the unwanted (by the controlling state...) joining of two city-states, country-states or otherwise recognized boundaried national sovereign entities through mutual hate and disrepect brought about "diplomatically" by some more powerful sovereign entity (e.g. the US). (4) Another metaphor: the potential advantage seen by the state of Israel in defense against a hostile nuclear attack from an Arabic nation by joining with another Arabic state.
