Where's Fucking Goliath?

Because Davey has gone and done drink too deeply of the Nyquil & Eggnog Cocktail.

Did you know things are on the cusp of a miracle in the Middle East?
Me neither.

But Davey thinks he is cool, because he is able to relate things to a "pop-culture" movie. Lemony Bobo's, A Series of Unfortunate Columns.

Yes, these were a series of unfortunate events. And yet here we are in this hopeful moment. It almost makes you think that all those bemoaners and condemners don't know what they are talking about. Nothing they have said over the past three years accounts for what is happening now.

It almost makes you think that Bush understands the situation better than the lot of them. His judgments now look correct. Bush deduced that Sharon could grasp the demographic reality and lead Israel toward a two-state solution; that Arafat would never make peace, but was a retardant to peace; that Israel has a right to fight terrorism; and that Sharon would never feel safe enough to take risks unless the U.S. supported him when he fought back.

Bush concluded that peace would never come as long as Palestine was an undemocratic tyranny, and that the Palestinians needed to see their intifada would never bring triumph.

We are a long way from peace. But as Robert Satloff observes in The Weekly Standard, Israel's coming disengagements "will constitute a huge leap - both in psychology and in strategy - rivaling the original Oslo accords in historic importance." And the U.S. is already raising millions to help build a decent Palestinian polity.


Oh, the Weekly Standard, now THAT'S a credible foreign policy magazine. Who knows more about the Middle East than Velveteen Rapture Weekly?

Apparently, Brooks is really excited about the number of babies the that Settlers in the West Bank are having. Natalist everywhere.

I write parodies of this moron, but he always outdoes me in (his) reality.
