Why in the world does anyone even try to negotiate with people like these in the Middle East? Government officials in Saudi Arabia claiming a vulture is an Israeli spy and government officials in Egypt claiming the Israelis are releasing attack sharks to destroy the Egyptian tourist industry? They are almost as crazy as the Republican and Democratic leaders here in the U.S.!

"almost"? :chuckle:

Seriously, a few local politicians who are idiots does not make the entire country that way.

By that standard, we should use the antics of the Santa Cruz politicians (or Berkeley too) to judge Washington as insane ... hmmm ... maybe that approrach is not too far off the wall ... :chuckle: :ohno: :naughty:

Not necessarily true. Think of how bad it would be if she were effective at her job. Sometimes I wish many of the others were as incapable of actually persuading others and accomplishing their objectives as she is.

Sure it does. Having some far-right religious nut jobs associated with the GOP makes every Conservative a right-wing religious nut job. Remember, rules that apply to the GOP don't apply to the Dem party because they are simply right because they say so.

Who knew? :gotme
