Netanyahu Gives Obama Wimp Test

April 2, 2009

 

In this week’s New Yorker, Seymour Hersh reports that, just before leaving office, Dick Cheney told the Israelis that Obama is a wimp and could be ignored.

Netanyahu appears to have bought into the Cheney thesis and is now testing it by insulting the President on the day he is sworn in as Prime Minister. Let’s see if Obama let’s him get away with it.

Check out this interview Netanyahu gave the Atlantic’s Jeff Goldberg today. Netanyahu says flatout that either the Obama administration deals with Iran’s nuclear development or Israel will have no choice but to act unilaterally.

Let’s see if our kissy-face President and his new world order stand up to a Netanyahu regime in Israel where real world actions will always speak louder than words.


Elvis And A Simple Twist Of Fate

Was Elvis The One And Only Elvis?

Was Elvis The One And Only Elvis?

 

It’s funny how no one would argue with the fact that there could be only one Elvis, that he was absolutely original and unique, and while there have been thousands of imitators, there could never be more than one real Elvis…so unique was this incredible and incredibly self destructive star.

All true, and yet, all so untrue. And untrue only because there were almost two Elvis….well, one Elvis and one identical twin named Jesse…who died at birth.  

Yes, Elvis was an identical twin, and if it hadn’t been for his brother’s untimely passing, there would have been two Kings…a situation that just wouldn’t have worked very well, if at all.

A simple twist of fate, that changed the face of music forever.
