Truth-teller Pat Condell -
God bless him, Pat’s going to keep saying it until everyone knows the truth.
My neighborhood gardening friend Joe and his wife just returned from summering in Israel with family. He reports that things are not great.
I’d never heard Joe’s story before, but he walked along with Mike and I one night while we aired the dogs and he opened up a little. His parents fled the Nazis into Austria and that’s where he was born. We didn’t get a play by play, but he’s been a U.S. citizen for many years.
Joe is a reformed obama supporter, the very best kind of opposition. Like an ex-smoker, he’s rabid on the subject and has his litany of complaints at the ready. Basically, he was sold a lie and knows it and tells everyone within earshot how evil our president is and how we’d best vote his butt out. He works the elections at our polling place and said he’d like to sit outside with a sign that says “Obama NO” on it, but there are rules about that.
Talk about hope for change!
Couldn’t resist this…

There’s a perfectly good Yiddish word for “wonderful human being”: mensch.
Said sarcastically, it has a whole other meaning.

How about one for ‘asshole’?

Schmuck works just fine for that.

I wish Bibi had punched him right in the mouth.

Hey! Palestine is a nice little town in east Texas, not too awful far from Casa de Peter, there’s nothing to lie about. Although there are a few liars in the town, mostly of the “of course I’ll call you” type.

I’ve driven through both Palestine and Paris, Texas. Long time ago, though.
