I was hopping across the internet today, like a round stone
skimming across the surface of a still pond, when I found an interesting article about
Palestinians living in terror. The
article is from ADC, which is the American-Arab Discrimination Committee. I’m not sure what they do, except lobby for
money in Washington, like most committee’s.

The article says that the Palestinian people are living in
terror, because of the war that has ensued over one person.

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination
Committee (ADC) reiterates its deep concern and condemns the ongoing
crisis in Gaza, which is further exacerbating the inhumane living
conditions of the Strip’s 1.4 million Palestinian residents.
Yesterday, an undisclosed number of Israeli troops amassed at the
border of the Gaza Strip. Additionally, the Israeli Air Force missiles
struck several bridges, and Gaza’s only power plant, leaving nearly 65%
of its residence without electricity and running water, and further
restricting movement.

Additionally, last night the Israeli Air Force began to
deliberately produce sonic booms over heavily populated areas in Gaza,
which have been proven to cause psychological and mental damage as
well. 

Israeli Officials have stated that this offensive is in response to
the June 25 attack and subsequent capture of Cpl. Gilad Shalit as
prisoner. In response to the military operations, the Israeli human
rights agency Btselem warned that the power shortages and lack of water
would severely impact health conditions in the area.  The group added
that the Israeli government should only use methods consistent with
international humanitarian law to secure the release of Cpl Shalit.

I asked a gentleman that is from Palestine, and still has family there, why
they would vote in a terrorist organization as a government body. His answer was that the old government was a
bunch of crooks, so they figured that Hamas was better. Well, I try to not get into aspects of other
cultures that I’m not familiar with, but do they really think they are better
off.

It does sadden me deeply, that the innocent have to pay such
a heavy price for ignorance on both sides, but like my buddy Phil said, “Israel will
essentially be at war forever”. What’s
your say?

Who is this charming lady?

What kind of thoughts does this cover bring forth?

Now, before you start calling me gay, for subscribing to the New Yorker.  I am not gay, nor have I ever been that way, nor am I ever going to be gay, not that there is anything wrong with that (Seinfeld).  I subscribe for the short stories, along with the poems that are submitted from time to time.  Also, they have some very interesting articles.  A few weeks ago they had letters from American troops, stationed in Iraq.  Interesting reading, to say the least.  Down south, you would stand to get kicked in the head, if you walked around reading a New Yorker, so I don’t go around telling just anybody.  My family would give me hell, if they knew I read it.  I’ve been a loyal subscriber for almost a year now; in fact, I have posted about ads in the New Yorker before. 

FOX News Chairman, Roger Ailes is on the warpath, after viewership dropped 22% during prime time.  He basically said that the staff was getting lazy and complacent.  I like to watch Hannity & Combs, because they fight and bicker all the time.  It is amusing to me for some reason.  FOX is still NO. 1, but he better tighten up the ship, if he expects it to stay NO. 1.  What’s you say?

Slackers at Fox News Channel, you’re on notice! Your
boss is not pleased. Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes is on the warpath
following his network’s recent ratings slump, and he won’t hesitate to
clean house to turn things around.

So far during the second quarter, the No. 1 cable news
channel’s primetime schedule has dropped 22% in its core 25-54 demo and
8% in total viewers. The first quarter was even worse.

Chief rival CNN has also dipped in recent weeks, but less dramatically, off 18% in the demo and 2% in total viewers.

Insiders say that, even though Fox News remains No. 1, Ailes is fuming over the complacency he senses among staffers.

Production values are slipping, and bookers aren’t
competitive enough, relying too heavily on the same pool of faces and
settling for authors or actors after they’ve already been on CNN or …
gasp … MSNBC.

I ran across this article on Newsvine, where I find a lot of my stories.  Anyhow, I felt that it was humorous, so here you go.

1. Men do not like women pretending they are chaste.

3. Women’s jealousy exasperates men.
4. Men also do not like to be treated as an emotional support.

9. Women’s talkativeness is also irritating, men say.
10. Women have a sure leverage to demonstrate their superiority over men.
