Gah.

Israel signals its interest in an Egyptian-French proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza, provided that any deal includes an end to militant rocket attacks. Israel is in the second week of a deadly offensive into Gaza that's aimed at Hamas militants, but one that has also killed scores of Palestinian civilians.

re: #42 ploome hineni

Hitchens must by now realize that not only is there no such thing as a right to a state (ask the Kurds), but that even if there were, it is not “inalienable.” In fact, the Palestinians alienated it.

I have great fun, whenever I hear someone recycle the old trope that "... of course the Palestinians deserve their own state...", of simply asking: Why?

Usually stops 'em cold.

For years, noisy -- and pollution-spewing -- leaf blowers have served as a source of morning aggravation and have spawned endless quarrels among neighbors.

Hitchens is often enough in a state of umbrage, or inebriation, as are the Palestinians. I guess that's it, then, to state (!) the obvious.

Doesn't work in my neck of the woods. They look confused for a second, then reply, "oh, I see, you're a fascist." Then they walk off to their other liberal friends (i.e. everyone, around here), and explain that they have just been stunned to discover that you are a fascist.

I had an identical experience with someone I'd just met last month. She used the same word against me when I politely told her that no, I didn't think 9/11 was an "inside job." Later on, I found out that she also considers the U.S. to be identical to Nazi Germany, and has had herself photographed wiping her a** with an American flag.

This is a repost from last thread, but it's more approproate on this open thread:

I just found out that I'm one of the blogs in the "Weblog Awards" this year. But in my category ("Midsize Blog" -- how is that determined? Strange) is also Israel Matzav, by Carl in Jerusalem. Since I have so much admiration for Carl's blog, I refuse to campaign against him! And since he's currently blogging live from a country at war, I think he's a deserving candidate. So: vote for Israel Matzav in the Best Midsize Blog category, unless you really really insist on voting for zomblog anyway, which I suppose you can do if you want -- I can't stop you! But I'd feel guilty taking the award away from Carl, especially since I've won every previous year I've been nominated, and I don't need another award.

(Though, in earlier years, I won the "Best Photo Blog" category, but this year they changed the definition of the category and made it be blogs which focus on the technicalities of photography, rather than blogs which feature a lot of photographs.)

All the other blogs in that category have campaign link-buttons and pleas to vote, etc. I can't do that. "If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve!" (Trivia question: who said that originally?)

Passenger claiming to have a bomb is tackled today on board an LA-bound plane.

A man who claimed to have a bomb aboard a Los Angeles-bound airliner and lunged for a door after it landed was tackled by other passengers and held for questioning Wednesday, authorities said.

Profit warnings, poor job outlook weigh on stocks 01.07.09
Burris expects to join Senate 'very shortly' 01.07.09
Obama hails presidents meeting as 'extraordinary' 01.07.09
Nobody was hurt and no other flights were disrupted.

Delta Air Lines Flight 110 from Atlanta was on approach to Los Angeles International Airport when the man allegedly stated that he had a bomb, said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller, who noted that he exact sequence of events was being developed.

The plane touched down just before 10:30 a.m. and as it was taxiing "at some point he lunged for one of the doors," Eimiller said.

Several passengers tackled the man and he was bound with plastic devices, Eimiller said.

"He also tried to assault a flight attendant" at some point, Eimiller said.
