Best analysis of the Israeli election to date...

Bottom line, Israelis trust Bibi more than they trust Obama...

And, rightly so...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;And for all your bluster, keep in mind that Bibi only won something like 1/4th of the seats in their parliament. &lt;/I&gt;

Also keep in mind that Bibi DID win, which is something I predicted would happen, my little foray into Supernatural notwithstanding..  :D

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Michael is substituting in your absence. Naturally, the tone of CW.com has changed a bit...it&#039;s almost like Steven Colbert (in full Colber Repor persona) has been given the guest chair. I for one am enjoying the interlude, but I suspect shelf life will be short - like switching from your favorite coffee for bit.&lt;/I&gt;

Why, thanks TS!!!   I think...  :D

I am trying to be on my best behavior..  I tend to be the proverbial mouse when CW&#039;s attention is elsewhere..  But that cat at the top of the page is freaking me out..  :D

&lt;B&gt;&quot;OK, Cyclops Lady is starting to bug me.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Rockhound, ARMAGEDDON  

:D

But I am trying to stick with topics that are easily defended and/or universally accepted as fact...  

Nice ta know I have at least one fan...  :D

ROCK ON!!!   :D

This is why Hillary&#039;s use of her own private email server is so egregious...

I am certain that no one can successfully refute the point..

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Obama interfering in the Israeli elections? &lt;/I&gt;

Something like 70% of Israelis felt that Obama was interfering in their elections..

If it quacks like a duck.....

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Obama interfering in the Israeli elections?&lt;/I&gt;

Yea, many of Obama&#039;s minions were working for the opposition IN Israel..

This is well-documented..

&lt;I&gt;And for all your bluster, keep in mind that Bibi only won something like 1/4th of the seats in their parliament. Not exactly a landslide, in other words.&lt;/I&gt;

Considering that Bibi was expected to LOSE, the election wasn&#039;t even close..  

The Likud Party got 30 mandates..

The Leftist Party got 22....

That WAS a landslide, considering...

&lt;I&gt;No, but I finally got around to seeing Gravity. Overrated, in my opinion. I mean, I liked some of the special effects, but that was about it.&lt;/I&gt;

Yea, GRAVITY was OK...  But INTERSTELLAR was.. well...  Stellar!!

LizM -

Actually, part of Ireland appreciated the joke.  It was just those up in the North that got annoyed.

:-)

Michale -

&lt;em&gt;Obama&lt;/em&gt; interfering in the Israeli elections?  Are you kidding me?  John Boehner was the interferer.  I mean, granted, it worked, but still, let&#039;s get our facts straight shall we?

And for all your bluster, keep in mind that Bibi only won something like 1/4th of the seats in their parliament.  Not exactly a landslide, in other words.

TheStig -

So far, so good!  Thanks for the good vacation wishes.  Still don&#039;t know what will be appearing here next week, no promises one way or another.

I&#039;m getting ready to format Friday&#039;s article now, so that&#039;ll be appearing on schedule...

		<description>Dear CW-

Hope you and your wife are having a wonderful vacation in Ireland.  

Michael is substituting in your absence.  Naturally, the tone of CW.com has changed a bit...it&#039;s almost like Steven Colbert (in full Colber Repor persona) has been given the guest chair. I for one am enjoying the interlude, but I suspect shelf life will be short - like switching from your favorite coffee for bit.

Regards, Stig</description>

		<description>On a totally unrelated note..

CW, have you seen INTERSTELLAR yet??

Knowing how you like realistic (IE soundless) space scenes, I think you would be very approving of INTERSTELLAR...  :D

Plus the movie itself is mind-blowing...  

A definite must-see...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Did the American media totally miss the flap over the Biden joke? Boy, it was certainly big news here...&lt;/I&gt;

It was likely drowned out by the news of the Israeli people giving the finger to Obama and telling him in no uncertain terms to stay the frak out of their elections...

It was a pleasure for me to see that..  So pleasurable, it almost makes me feel guilty..  :D
