We likeInstant CongressWords to live byWars are the clock ticking off the time of Israeli history: World War I; the "riots" of 1929 and 1936; World War II; the War of Independence, 1948; the Sinai Campaign, 1956; the Six Day War, 1967; the War of Attrition, 1969-1971; the Yom Kippur War, 1973; the Labanon War, 1982; the Gulf War, 1991. Not all these conflicts were equally significant in their cultural impact, and surely not in the same way, but together they create a ghastly rhythm in which every calm period is seen in Israel as a pause before future violence. [Editor's Note: I would say this explains a great deal about Israel...and I would add that a similar statement could be made about Palestine] Subscribe Buttons                    | ||
Kevin Drumm over at
Kevin Drumm over at Washington Review is saying that Clinton insiders are taking her hiring not just as a fuck you but also as sign that she is not in the running for VP --given that privately she seems to have had a really bad falling out with PDS.
My take is that HRC doesn't want the VP position and this is something that's being signaled to the Clintonistas --I think they want her more to be VP than she wants it herself.
This article over at New York Mag leaves me no doubt she doesn't want to be VP :
