Over the weekend, the porcine prince of wingnut radio, Pills Limpballs, was wed to a clueless woman 26 years his junior, his fourth marriage. You would think that women would avoid him like swine flu, but apparently Pills' mega-bucks trumps the gag reflex. It will certainly come as a temporary blow (no pun intended) to the underage sex tourist business that Pills patronized.
Among the attendees kissing Pills' large rump were the usual mighty righties: Turdblossom Rove, 9-11 Giuliani, and Fred "Foghorn Leghorn" Thompson. What surprised us most was the participation of Sir Elton "Sir Smelt One" John, who was bought off with a cool $1 million to perform at the wedding of a person who has opposed gay marriage at every turn. Now we know the dollar value Sir Smelt One places on his soul. Hopefully his audience will take notice.

I'll take care of the wedding gift - a supply of horse tranquilizers that look just like Viagra...
I have no comment re limbaugh nor the current Helen Thomas flap.
I am interested if you have any insights on the Israel/Palestine conflict. I worked in Israel in 1968 - when Al Fatah was just beginning operations in Jordan. The situation continues to deteriorate - for both sides. I am neither Jewish nor Muslim. The two-state solution seems wishful thinking at this point. Long story short HW, what do you think?
I agree that the two-state solution seems wishful thinking at this point; it seems with every step forward, one step is taken back. To say not everyone has the same agenda is an understatement. Israel's security and existence as a Jewish state is beyond debate, as is the right of Palestinians to self-rule. Beyond that, what makes it so difficult is when one side does something that it deems to be in its self interest but, objectively speaking, seems not to be the case. Current case in point: the (literally) overkill tactics used by the Israeli government to interdict the blockade-busting ship from Turkey. A few days later, different tactics were used on the Rachel Corrie to the same effect, but with no bloodshed. Makes one wonder if sometimes Israel (and the Palestinians at other times) aren't their own worst enemies.
