98%? Go you!

I suggested my roommate to write everything we think he can mess up with and see what will actually happen while he's the PM, but we're too scared to do this.

Don't do it, Shir! I tried that one when Bush got elected in 2000. My list included: destroy the budget surplus and raise the deficit, put conservative ideologues on the Supreme Court, and start a war. Sigh. How did it wind up being so much worse than I anticipated?

Hey, I was gonna start said list with "attack Iran and possibly drag the world to 3rd world war until 1/1/2011, if said government still exist by then".

Because, and I just wanna make this clear as possible, he thinks that Iran is the biggest problem of Israel today.

Iran.

Not Gaza. Not that every 5th person is poor. Not economic crisis. Not health system who had better days. Not inter-Israeli group issues. Not peace. Not getting more money to education and less to military use. Not gaps within society. Not corruption.

Iran.

I need to breath.

I always think of Sarah Vowell on the Daily Show saying: "I cried when George W. Bush first got elected because I thought he'd mess up the nation's water supply. It was a failure of imagination on my part."

Shir, for whatever it is or isn't worth, it's made the news here that U.S. and Iranian diplomats are talking to each other directly. Not through intermediaries. For the first time in 30 years.

I'm having salt & vinegar chips for the second time this week after not having had them for years. Damn, these are good!

I only got a 98% on my mythology exam. Shouldda done the bloody extra credit.

My god. You slacker.

Thanks, Fred.

The small consolation is that he was never elected to be the PM (the second time). Livni's party won by one mandate, but he was seen (probably rightly) as the one with the more power to build a more stable government. I'm trying not to giggle.

Which is why we now have as much ministers as were in the biggest gov. that ever was in Israel (Sharon). Because yes, now is the time that the tax payer can pay for all of them, and none of them, of course, God forbid, got in as a minister as a condition to join the coalition.

I've been bitter about it enough for today; now, it's time for something better.

comic relief?

Toddson wins.
