Irony on a plate

After some 60 years, it boils down to a "moment" and Condi just happens to be there.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Wednesday that Israelis and Palestinians have a new "moment of opportunity" to forge peace despite the eruption of fresh tensions between the two sides over preparations for a U.S.-hosted Mideast conference.

And, realizing this will brand me an anti-Semite, why the fuck is such a small nation always and I mean ALWAYS in the news? Even Paris Hilton isn't such an attention hog.

Israel is almost the epitome of a flea on an elephant's ass.

Yeah, I could have said an elephant's trunk, but that ain't me.

On a larger map, you can't even find Israel unless someone Photoshops® a big red arrow.

Is that headline a fucking joke or what?

Jesus H Christ with bad hearing, pot-kettle? How many people is Bush killing?


Granted, even one, two, five deaths (reports vary) in Myanmar are tragic and countries should speak out, but I'm sorry, when you have blood all over your hands you have no room to chastise others. That's just the way the world works.
