Israeli Lobby?
I haven't paid much attention to the controversy about the influence of the Israeli Lobby on the US Government, it's discussed here, among other places, but the thought occurred to me that a major reason that the US supports Israel is that Israel had, until just recently, the only democratically elected government in the Middle East. The rest of the nations there are run by a motley collection of thugs, dictators, lunatics, and other scumbags.

Auto Advertising
Watch this. Then read about it here. And yes, the title of this post could be a pun, or at least a play on words. HT goyishekop

Richard Dietrichs
If you ever get a call for Richard Dietrichs, hang up. It's probably a telemarketer. Their latest strategy is to ask for this guy and when you politely tell them that he doesn't live at your house, they start their pitch. So just hang up, unless you ARE Richard Dietrichs. And yes, I do know about the Do Not Call program; I'm just too stubborn to participate in a government program, even if it benefits me.
Pork
Dear Senator Pork, er, Allard:
I see where you voted three times to retain earmarks which Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) tried to kill. Haven't you gotten the message that we're tired of you flushing our money down the drain? Haven't you figured out that this is bad for your reelection campaign? So tell me, sir. Why did you vote to waste $1.2 Billion of our money to move a railroad that was just rebuilt, a seafood promotion program, and to bail out a defense contractor? porkbusters Our other senator, Senator Salazar, possibly has two more brain cells than you do, not that that's anything to brag about. You've obviously been in the Senate too long. It's long past time for term limits. Please do us all a favor. Leave the Senate.
