ETA: Ah, you are merely claiming to be sctick-free, not schtick-free. Maybe this was my mistake.

I thought he was doing a Bauhaus thing.

Interesting. As is the following : If you were to visit www.fateh.net, the Web site of Al-Fatah, Arafat's faction of the PLO, and understood Arabic so that you could navigate it, the first image you see is the Fatah emblem: a map of "Palestine" behind crossed guns and above a grenade. But the country depicted is Israel, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. (On the same Web site you can read the Fatah constitution, which says the organization's goal is the "complete liberation of Palestine, and eradication of Zionist . . . existence.")

Fatah isn't the only PLO faction whose emblem features a map of Palestine that comprises all of Israel. Most of them do, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Palestine Liberation Front, Al-Saika, and the PLO itself. (You can see the PFLP logo at www.pflp-palestine.org ).

He's dead. And, for the record, the map of Israel includes all of Palestine.

Le Duc Tho of North Vietnam wasn't a very good choice either.

Also, dead.

That would have to be undead undead undead, which might make for an interesting political event.

There are four main reasons why Islam will never catch in the US.

1) No Alcohol

2) Praying five times a day (and that means standing and kneeling like ten times every time you pray)-American are way to lazy.

3) Ramadan - Americans are not going to fast for a month even if it is only for daylight hours.

4) No pork - it would cause another civil war.

You're forgetting the burkah. Without fashion, the Betties would rise up and defeat the infidels themselves.

It's kind of like training a dog. You have to keep repeating the message or it just never gets driven home.

So is Hitler. That doesn't mean we can't take a lesson from how he was treated and allowed to go unchecked. Same with Arafat and the "new" Palistinian leadership.

Dissent. Schtick doesn't require that something be objectively funny, but it does require tha possibility that SOMEONE MINGHt find it funny SOMEDAY. Under this test TaxWonk current line is not schtick.

If any of you were to discuss intelligently the new Palestinian leadership, then there might be a basis for dialogue. Penske's just doing his autistic thing, and I'm playing the patient case worker.

You, on the other hand, are playing the Hitler card. You lose.

What's the deal with all the stick shift stuff? I feel like I walked in during the middle of something.

One can mention Hitler, one cannot alude that someone one is arguing with is Hitler-like. Also, there is an exception for Board management.

Example- say hypothetically several images are deleted I could say:

This jack booted night of the long knives when all my images were deleted.

I would not lose in that I can ascribe Nazi qualities to those in Power. Of course I would never do so, but I want you to understand the rule if you are going to post about it.

And with you i won't bother to explain why you're wrong on the rule- old dog, etc.
