The Free Market Says Bobby Jindal Destroyed His Political Career on Tuesday Night
Thu Feb 26, 2009

Netanyahu set for power after far-right backing
Thu Feb 19, 2009
- Israel should be allowed to self-immolate. Of course, with right wingers like Netanyahu and Lieberman, these Israelis will blow the living crap out of Gaza and the West Bank any time after they assume power. I hope that Tipi just says she's not going to stay in the Cabinet, and allows it to fall.
