How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled to hide our wounds when we are all wounded! Community requires the ability to expose our wounds and weaknesses to our fellow creatures. It also requires the ability to be affected by the wounds of others... But even more important is the love that arises among us when we share, both ways, our woundedness.

I guess I agree with the Mayor on this...I don't know just how democratic Israel is actually...but also do you think that Jews make up a significant percent of the people who elect the Mayor in New York?....do you think that it is possible to get elected as mayor of New York without kissing tale to Jewish sentiment?

I was trying to stay on lurking hiatus but this is a bit much. The fact is that politics on any large scale like New York, involves bending over and kissing behinds of all races, cultures and social strata. To imply that this occurs only with the Jewish population, as you clearly did, is just simply racist trolling.

So a thought for the day in reply ....

"I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar ..... and when I'm not kissin' babies, I'm stealin' their lollipops."

National Security Advisor to Jack Ryan in "The Hunt for Red October"

This quote may come from a movie, but it is all anyone really needs to know about politics and politicians.

Tell people they are under threat and that you can protect them to stay in power.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing. - Abraham Lincoln

"The 21 Arab states that could easily have absorbed the original 650,000 Palestinian refugees in 1948 refused to do so, even though their combined land mass was 700 times greater than that possessed by Israel. By contrast, the Jewish population of the new state was only 600,000, yet Israel willingly absorbed some 820,000 Jewish refugees from Europe."

Actually, this is not a trollish statement at all, because in the case of former Mayor Giuliani that is exactly what happened.

It's an interesting photo this.

Don't you think the facial expressions and body language of the "motley crew" deserve some analysis and comment?

I wonder what each one of them are thinking?

From the looks on their faces, I'd say the White House bathroom is out of order.

Great caption by the way.
