Can I wish my jellybeans a very happy Yom Ha'azmaut - Israels' 63rd Independance Day?

It’s especially wonderful ths year what with the (impeding) decline of so many arab dictatorships and worse (Kaddhafi, Assad, Mubarak) and impending ones, a la Achmenidinilinglong.

Plus – Seal Team Six took one for the team – and made our countries celebrate each other’s I.D. together in unison – as Obama said: “We (the USA) were the first to recognize the fledgling state of Israel.”

It wasn’t him, per se, but we appreciate the sentiment.

Go USA! Go Israel. Down with tyranny, chauvenism, communism and dictatorships. Onward democracy, humanism and capitalism/socialism.

I’m feeling patriotic today; to planet earth – and beyond.
