Can't do anything right!

Someone I know sent the following letter to the JPOST letters editor. They published it and took out the MOST important point of the letter, in fact changing the point of the letter. Can't they do anything right!

Sir,
Caroline Glick tells us (Column One, March 24) that only Binyamin Netanyahu is "capable of rebuilding Israel's standing in the intenational community."
Glick's cringeworthy praise of Netanyahu in your newspaper is moving dangerously close to a parody of the Soviet-era Pravda. Perhaps she has given too much away by informing us that she was studying at the Kennedy School of Government in 1999 - the year in which the Israeli electorate booted Netanyahu out of office, in the wake of his divisive conduct and policies. I can
only assume that Glick was out of the country at the time, and missed this unique event.
For the sake of transparency, Jerusalem Post readers might care to note that Ms. Glick has served as a foreign policy adviser to Netanyahu, and is no doubt waiting for her just rewards, in the event that he notches up an unlikely election victory.

Sincerely

Zahava Flax

Doesn't say much for Glick's journalistic integrity, or the Post's for that matter.

A good idea for Simchas.com

Friends of some shabbes guests of ours have come up with an idea to start a sister site to Simchas.com.

Tsores.com is where you can post all the bad things that keep happening to you. So that you can warn off other people.

I wish this had been around after our wedding. The safe the hotel gave us was broken and many of our cheques and cash presents were stolen. The hotel were so disgusting to us, tsores.com would warn everyone away from getting married there.

While I am on this topic - what about a JFriends.com for couples who's friends have all left the area and want to meet other friends...

OK back to work now

Galgalatz praisworthy - I THINK NOT!

I was really impressed that while listening to Galgalatz on my way to work this morning they played 4 really good english songs in a row, with no talking in between or over the top.

Then I realised my radio was tuned to 99esc - a radio station I have never heard of and don't know who added to my stored radio stations - but whoever you are THANK YOU.

99esc forever!

From Israel to Egypt via Vegas - I stayed here

Colarado River - it's not that close!

Eagle Rock! can you see it - the eagle that is?

YEP! You guessed it

I have not been writing for some time because I was away in Vegas on a business trip. Now Vegas is not the sort of place you want to be stuck for more than a week. It has to be, without a doubt, the most revolting place I have ever been. Everything is so huge and wasteful. The hotel I stayed in "Luxor" was so big that everything took a minimum 30min to do. Whether ordering coffee or navigating yourself through the casino to get to the car park.

The only things I really enjoyed about Vegas was the Bellagio fountains and my 1 day Hummer tour to the Grand Canyon.

I am not much of a gambler, but I am happy to say I walked away a couple of hundred dollars up. Which of course I later spent shopping at Old Navy :)

More to come when I have some time....
