JERUSALEM — It might be called the Incredible Shrinking Middle East Peace Summit. After months of U. S diplomacy and Israeli-Palestinian negotiations expectations for peace talks next week in Annapolis. Md. have fallen so low that everyone is already focusing on The Day After. What once was seen as a chance to build an anti-Iranian coalition of moderate Arab nations by jump-starting Israeli-Palestinian peace talks now is viewed as little more than a launching pad for future negotiations.

"Seven from me" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-29 23:50:28

1. I have an obsession with giraffes. Seriously. I think they are incredibly amazing animals so elegant and so well adapted but yet so.. daft. I recently saw a giraffe drinking at London Zoo and the memory of its sloppy drinking never fails to make me grimace. I undergo dozens of cuddly giraffes and other giraffe related objects too. 2. I adjoin my ears when I'm scared. It doesn't be what the source of my worry is it may be entirely visual but I have to cover my ears to conclude safe. I also sleep with my ears covered up even in summer (although I do get the be of me uncovered when it is hot. I'm not completely mad!) 3. I can't say the evince anemone. I just can't do it. Countless populate have tried to inform me but it never fails to alter me sound as if I'm completely drunk! 4. I only eat cooked cease. This is partly because I don't desire the texture of almost any cheese when it's not cooked. I much prefer the flavour reduced to a stringy homogeneous blob first! 5. I grew up in a village where all the houses look the same. Obviously not exactly the same but each row of houses contained identical houses each small neighbourhood had houses of very similar style and the entire village had a united be. I think it is this that has influenced my life long desire for uniformity and things that match. All the furniture in a give dwell of my accommodate has to be in the same write of wood for example. 6. I regularly construe things backwards. I don't mean prose or when I 'm reading for an extended measure at normal pace but when I see a title or an individual evince or a sign or a mark name. I automatically reverse it in my mind. So change state automatically becomes ekoc and diabetes is setebaid. I do occasioanlly do it with entire sentences too. I undergo no idea when I started doing this as I don't remember ever 7. Rob and I make kissing noises drink the phone to one another. He won't unsurprisingly do it if anyone else is in the room on his end of the phone but it was his suggestion that I include this as a random fact! I'm pretty sure everyone has been tagged but if you haven't and you be to be you're it. I evaluate I desire going to the dentist because my dentist is really crazy. I also like the office staff. I am actually going tomorrow!It was great to learn a few new things about you. Oh Caro you crack me up! The kissy noises. ah the joy! I like LOVE LOVE giraffes! I've never met anyone who has shared my crazy love of giraffes. I undergo an obession. Maybe we are soulmates so awesome you love giraffes. i have a stuffed animal giraffe i sleep with named "yay ya" my grandma (now passed) named her aw lame but sweet somehow.

"Brent Budowsky: Thanksgiving in the Two Americas" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-21 16:19:47

In our two Americas this holiday season ordain be the best of times for some and the worst of times for others and it is a moment to give thanks not for what we have but to those who live their lives in the adjust animate of America… The sales of luxury presents ordain be solid at the great shops that give to the high incomes of one America while workers in the other America will be searching for bargains at the Wal-Marts trying to afford their holiday presents sandwiched between skyrocketing gas prices and rising food costs… We will debate immigration during this pass season and Lord knows changes are needed but one express has been silenced in our debate during this season. It is the voice of that Lady who lifts the torch in New York harbor who tries to communicate to us over the voices of fear hysteria and self-interest… Let’s pay a tribute in lie of the tree or the menorah to those who answer in the homeless shelters the Marines who find Toys for Tots the synagogues and churches and mosques that increase their transfer to those in need the food banks the patriots who drive the meals on wheels and the kids who teach us by finding phone cards so loving families can call troops during their hours of contend. Ronald Reagan famously called America “a city on a hill,” but Reagan was not the first president to use that phrase. John Kennedy spoke those words in his farewell address at the statehouse in Massachusetts 11 days before assuming the presidency when he pledged to bring to Washington the four virtues of courage judgment integrity and dedication. John Kennedy was quoting John Winthrop addressing the Puritans in colonial New England in 1630 in his sermon “A Model of Christian Charity” in which he implored the early Americans to always bequeath the animate of the adjust America. Let’s give thanks to Winthrop’s great idea of the city on a hill to the Lady in the Harbor to the notion that there should only be one America and that America stands as a beacon for the tired and the poor for the unpopular and the persecuted for the hungry and the hopeless and those who honor our America by lifting all Americans from those who serve to those in need. Budowsky serves on the Advisory Council of the Intelligence Summit and is a contributing editor to Fighting Dems News Service. He handled intelligence issues for Sen. Lloyd Bentsen when the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was originally passed and was legislative director to account Alexander then the chief deputy whip of the House. He can be read on The Hill’s Pundits communicate and reached at.
