I must remind again that this Palestinian state won't accept Palestinian refugees (even those living INSIDE the Palestinian state) and it wants to be a "pure" (Arab Muslim only) state.  A decent chunk of the state isn't under the control of the people proclaiming this new state and the people that do rule that chunk are against this entire charade.  ALL of the people voting against it at the UN want there to be a Palestinian state, even the US and Israel, but not this back door way.  It needs to be done the right way, with everybody involved sitting down at the table and hammering something out.  This is simply a political move used to reinforce to the "believers" that Israel and the US (always conveniently ignoring everybody else that is saying "no" too) are always wrong and the fun loving Palestinians just want to live in their own state in peace.

Now pick the part you think you might be able to get me on and ignore the rest.  May I suggest the last line?  Those first few are (apparently) really hard to spin.

PALESTINIAN refugees. 

And when have I ever said I don't like Mexicans moving into the US?

Ok, they aren't saying it will be Arab Muslim only, they just don't want da Joos.  I suppose that's a touch better.  That was my mistake.

Yes, it was funny. Especially the part in Gabon.  I can't believe they (Comedy Central, being the stingy Jews that they are) actually sent him there.

I've been watching since before Stewart took over and I don't think I've seen it either...but I've missed episodes and tend to forget things.

That Norquist interview was one with several...uhh... uncomfortable moments.  I like those...usually...sometimes I just feel bad for everybody involved.
