The AIPAC conference is in March. It costs $500 to get in.

Would my readers be interested in kicking in the conference fee in order to get first-hand reporting from me?

I have some friends in the D.C. area that I could possibly stay with.

If there’s enough interest, I’d love to go. I’ve been wanting to buy a digital recorder, anyway.

Hamas is openly stating its genocidal purpose toward Israel, and yet, most of the world will simply stuff their fingers into their ears and say “LALALALA, I can’t hear you!”

Exhibit one: Hamas intends to unite their “army” with the PA security forces for one giant “resistance weapon” pointed, of course, at Israel.

Damascus - Head of the political bureau in the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, Khaled Mishaal, affirmed that his Movement’s participation in the next PA cabinet is under intensive deliberation and will be announced in the suitable time.

The Economist thinks that it’s cute to call the existential threats Iran has been making against Israel a “family feud.”

IRAN’S president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, says Israel is an alien implantation whose people should return to Europe or perhaps settle in Alaska. So it is an irony that Israel’s president, Moshe Katzav, is in fact a Farsi-speaker born in Iran. Ditto Israel’s defence minister, Shaul Mofaz, who is doubtless preoccupied nowadays with how to destroy Iran’s nuclear programme. He is advised by Dan Halutz, Israel’s former air-force commander and now chief of staff. Lieut-General Halutz was born in Israel, both his parents in Iran. They seem to have taught him a sense of humour. Asked how far Israel would go to stop Iran’s nuclear programme, he replied: “two thousand kilometres”.

Gee, that’s a knee-slapper. Ha. Ha. Family feud. Get it? Get it?

No.

The new merger of UPN and the WB brings happiness to Meryl: CW is going to replace Richmond’s UPN station, which means that I get to watch Gilmore Girls when the rest of the country watches it.

The AP hates the British, too

What’s wrong with this picture? I’m going to make it easy for you to play along and put some of the text into boldface. See if you can pick out a pattern.

Bombs Kill Six in Southwestern Iran
Nezam Molla Hoveizeh, a Khuzestan lawmaker, alleged Tuesday’s explosions were the work of Iranian Arab separatists who have offices in London and are supported by Britain.

“The bombers are directed by the British. Britain is the main culprit behind the blasts. The British government offers financial and material support to these terrorists,” he told The Associated Press.
