Here is The New York Times headline on today’s Israeli election:
Tepid Vote for Netanyahu in Israel Is Seen as Rebuke
With a headline like that you would have thought that Benjamin Netanyahu lost the election. It’s true that he did not earn the same level of support that he did in 2009 but Bibi is still Prime Minister and will form a new government.
Let me put it this way. Barack Obama had four million fewer votes than he did in 2008. Did The New York Times proclaim Obama’s reduced vote as a rebuke? Here is their headline from November 7, 2012:
Divided U.S. Gives Obama More Time
Well, from where I sit, a divided Israel has given Netanyahu more time whether The New York Times likes it or not.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

I really hope it stays around for a while. In a couple three years I will need something to paper train a new German Shepard puppy. What better paper to use than the New York Times?
Lori promised me after a trip to Italy I can get a new Ducati & then a Shepard.
