Hamas and Israel start on a truce today.  One of those stories that repeat so often in the papers that they can hardly be classified as news.
 
This truce pertains to the Gaza Strip.  General skepticism over whether it will last is captured in Israeli Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit’s comment.  “The idea is a complete ceasefire – no fire from anyone… if there is any violation of the agreement, the government is free to return to act with full force.”, he said.
 
His emphasis that there should be ‘no fire from anyone’ underscores how unlikely it is for all not to fire.  Imagine persevering in a place like that!
 
In the civil environment that the rest of us live in, we swarm ourselves with various other concerns.  But if we pause to think about the constant terror and fear that common Palestinians and Israelis are subjected to, our daily concerns pale by comparison.
 
Peace […]

OK, so you explain it, a double Rainbow at the funeral of a guy that asked David Duke to name the three most important employers in Louisiana? And by the way, Eleanor Roosevelt was on Meet the Press, oh ye of little faith, it’s right in front of you all along?

On ABC’s View Michelle Obama showed a different side of herself-a softer side of herself.  Michelle was cracking jokes with her co-hosts and really helping to push herself to help her husband win over some women voters and both he and McCain are trying to do.  She even joked by dapping fists with the girls as her entrance as she did the night Obama won the nomination.
Hopefully this will aid in Obama’s campaign and fight the republicans views of her as being unpatriotic and an angry women.  Read more on this from ABC News: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=5193627&page=1.

For those of us who forget about the reasons we deposed Saddam, let’s look back to what he was doing prior to the U.S.invasion in 2003.
One of the many ways Saddam Hussein (”Hussein”…that rings a bell somehow) was supporting terrorism (against Israel, in this case) was by awarding the surviving families of Hamas suicide bombers $25,000 apiece. Families of militants who were killed in the general fighting against Israel or the families of Palestinians who were killed as part of collateral damage of a responding Israeli operations were awarded $10,000. The Palestinian Arab Liberation Front (PALF) stated that up to $35 million had been paid out prior to the invasion in of Iraq in 2003 (since 2000).
BTW, keep in mind that $25,000 (or $10,000 for that matter) is a small fortune to the families of Pali terrorists.
This is a good reminder to Israel of just how Obama supports […]

So I’ve already seen this episode of Hardball earlier, and I’m drifting off into a nice little dream and I wake up to this high pitched scream just in time to see some young girl hugging a Ton (of stuff from Comcast), or was it the Travelocity Gnome falling down endless Mexican Hillsides into the sea. Either way, does it seem that advertisers are allowed to up the volume on their ads at will, despite the fact that it’s annoying as hell? As a “Left Wing Blogger”, I obviously believe the solution is to levy fines on such behavior so as to cause it to cease, is that the end of “Western Civilization” as we know it? But John McCain would cite too much regulation, interfering with choices and the free market, and what about the rights of advertiser’s and stockholders? So my peacfull bliss is interuppted by screaming Cave […]

It was only a matter of time. Presenting RoboHottie — uh, pardon me, that’s Eternal Maiden Actualisation (E.M.A.), Japan’s latest addition (and possibly among its most dubious additions) to the field of artificial intelligence. Here is a citation of the article (the photo comes from there too):
TOKYO (Reuters) - She is big-busted, petite, very friendly, and she runs on batteries. 
A Japanese firm has produced a 38 cm (15 inch) tall robotic girlfriend that kisses on command, to go on sale in September for around $175, with a target market of lonely adult men. (…)

Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised at this, coming from a culture where robots have an overwhelming presence in fact and fiction and pornographic anime/manga apparently is considered “mainstream”. Admittedly, the EMA is “cute as a button” (which is why I buttonized her portrait, in case you’re wondering). I’m just surprised that no one has thought of making […]
