The Last Exile

I haven’t been blogging simply because I am absolutely overwhelmed with things to do. I have a spring/summer wardrobe and a bed-skirts to finish sewing, walls to paint, and the most comprehensive cleaning of my apartment since about this time last year. Did I mention things to cook? This just looks and sounds so utterly divine that I just might have to make room for it on the menu.

In the meantime, I really don’t care what Ann Coutler has to say or not as I am not yet a perfected Jew but can we all agree that University of Ottawa students get a fail for tolerance and/or supporting free speech rights?

Speaking of intolerance and free speech, the Saudis are busy condemning Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu recent speech at the AIPAC convention. There is something about the Saud’s whiny about Israelis which always reminds me of the smell of rotting socks…

Apparently, Bib Netanyahu had an hour and a half face-to-face meeting with the US President Obama. I suspect Obama was busy trying to convince Bibi to change the text of the Haggadah at the end of the Passover seder to say - ‘Next year in the Settlement’ rather than the politically ‘arrogant’ but traditional ‘Next year in Jerusalem”.

In the meantime, if you are really looking for something to read and want to sink your teeth into something a little more substantial than norm; may I suggest this US Army War College paper published circa 2005 and entitled Getting ready for a Nuclear –Ready Iran. I suspect the Obama administration has read it and is following the woefully inadequate script.
