Who's In Charge?

Sadly No! is one of the greatest blogs out there. So it surprised me to see that the Esteemed Gavin seems a bit behind:

What I’m trying to understand — and help me out here if I’m missing something — is that Wurzelbacher doesn’t seem to be totally on top of the fact that the US and Israeli military are different things, because Israel and the US are actually not the same country…

To a Republican, be it the genus Wolfowitz, or the sub-species Wurzelbacher, U.S. Foreign policy is set in Jerusalem, not Foggy Bottom.

Jeffrey Goldberg's op-ed in today's NYTimes finally comes to a reasonable conclusion even though most of the arguments he made to reach it are unsupportable - still,  the most reality-based sentence is: 

As the Gaza war moves to a cease-fire, a crucial question will inevitably arise, as it has before: Should Israel (and by extension, the United States) try to engage Hamas in a substantive and sustained manner?

Emphasis added - although probably not required.

Articles in recent days have argued whether or not Olmert's bragging of his power to issue instructions to our Secretary of State was a smart P.R. move - not whether he in fact excercised this power.

Dear Gavin, Sorry, but you did miss something.

Lady Gaga is probably my biggest guilty pleasure in music. I can't explain why I like her.
And you?

With several vibram five finger returnees that played last year including three starters, and a large group of talented vibram fivefingers kso newcomers, the linebackers will be the strength of the Reddie defense. Leading the way will be Mike vibram five fingers Wightman, Steve Butrick, Kevin Lloyd and Taylor Stone. Kyle Mathieu, fivefingers kso, Ben Chandler, and Benny Anderson add depth to the Reddie middle four. Mathieu played in all 10 vibram five finger shoes games last season and totaled 17 tackles.

While it can be clunky Office 2010 at first, especially if you're used to an older version, I find it much easier to get serious Microsoft Office 2010 formatting and editing changes done in this version.
