Greedcard DJs - Balkan Booty Beats!

Wed, 21 Mar 2007 02:24:59 GMT

You can stop praying because your prayers have been answered! We know this mix was on top of your Hannukah list, and it was worth the wait. This is the hottest piece since that Janet Jackson Superbowl Show, and three times the nipple! Alright, there is no nipple, but we did search every corner of the proverbial gypsyland for the best in balkan beats, gypsy grooves and klezmer ass-shakers. Be careful - after listening you might have the sudden urge to steal children, read palms or learn the trumpet.

July 31, 2006

Ladies and gentlemen, leaders of the world. I, the Prime Minister of Israel, am speaking to you from Jerusalem in the face of the terrible pictures from Kfar Kana. Any human heart, wherever it is, must sicken and recoil at the sight of such pictures. There are no words of comfort that can mitigate the enormity of this tragedy. Still, I am looking you straight in the eye and telling you that the State of Israel will continue its military campaign in Lebanon.

The Israel Defense Forces will continue to attack targets from which missiles and Katyusha rockets are fired at hospitals, old age homes and kindergartens in Israel. I have instructed the security forces and the IDF to continue to hunt for the Katyusha stockpiles and launch sites from which these savages are bombarding the State of Israel.

We will not hesitate, we will not apologize and we will not back off. If they continue to launch missiles into Israel from Kfar Kana, we will continue to bomb Kfar Kana. Today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Here, there and everywhere. The children of

Kfar Kana could now be sleeping peacefully in their homes, unmolested, had the agents of the devil not taken over their land and turned the lives of our children into hell.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time you understood: the Jewish state will no longer be trampled upon. We will no longer allow anyone to exploit population centers in order to bomb our citizens. No one will be able to hide anymore behind women and children in order to kill our women and children. This anarchy is over. You can condemn us, you can boycott us, you can stop visiting us and, if necessary, we will stop visiting you.

Today I am serving as the voice of six million bombarded Israeli citizens who serve as the voice of six million murdered Jews who were melted down to dust and ashes by savages in Europe. In both cases, those responsible for these evil acts were, and are, barbarians devoid of all humanity, who set themselves one simple goal: to wipe the Jewish race off the face of the earth, as Adolph Hitler said, or to wipe the State of Israel off the map, as Mahmoud Ahmedinjad proclaims.

And you - just as you did not take those words seriously then, you are ignoring them again now. And that, ladies and gentlemen, leaders of the world, will not happen again. Never again will we wait for bombs that never came to hit the gas chambers. Never again will we wait for salvation that never arrives. Now we have our own air force. The Jewish people are now capable of standing up to those who seek their destruction - those people will no longer be able to hide behind women and children. They will no longer be able to evade their responsibility.

Every place from which a Katyusha is fired into the State of Israel will be a legitimate target for us to attack. This must be stated clearly and publicly, once and for all. You are welcome to judge us, to ostracize us, to boycott us and to vilify us. But to kill us? Absolutely not.

Four months ago I was elected by hundreds of thousands of citizens to the office of Prime Minister of the government of Israel, on the basis of my plan for unilaterally withdrawing from 90 percent of the areas of Judea and Samaria, the birth place and cradle of the Jewish people; to end most of the occupation and to enable the Palestinian people to turn over a new leaf and to calm things down until conditions are ripe for attaining a permanent settlement between us.

The Prime Minister who preceded me, Ariel Sharon, made a full withdrawal from the Gaza Strip back to the international border, and gave the Palestinians there a chance to build a new reality for themselves. The Prime Minister who preceded him, Ehud Barak, ended the lengthy Israeli presence in Lebanon and pulled the IDF back to the international border, leaving the land of the cedars to flourish, develop and establish its democracy and its economy.

What did the State of Israel get in exchange for all of this? Did we win even one minute of quiet? Was our hand, outstretched in peace, met with a handshake of encouragement? Ehud Barak's peace initiative at Camp David let loose on us a wave of suicide bombers who smashed and blew to pieces over 1,000 citizens, men, women and children. I don't remember you being so enraged then. Maybe that happened because we did not allow TV close-ups of the dismembered body parts of the Israeli youngsters at the Dolphinarium? Or of the shattered lives of the people butchered while celebrating the Passover seder at the Park Hotel in Netanya? What can you do - that's the way we are. We don't wave body parts at the camera. We grieve quietly.

We do not dance on the roofs at the sight of the bodies of our enemy's children - we express genuine sorrow and regret. That is the monstrous behavior of our enemies. Now they have risen up against us. Tomorrow they will rise up against you. You are already familiar with the murderous taste of this terror. And you will taste more.

And Ariel Sharon's withdrawal from Gaza. What did it get us? A barrage of Kassem missiles fired at peaceful settlements and the kidnapping of soldiers. Then too, I don't recall you reacting with such alarm. And for six years, the withdrawal from Lebanon has drawn the vituperation and crimes of a dangerous, extremist Iranian agent, who took over an entire country in the name of religious fanaticism and is trying to take Israel hostage on his way to Jerusalem - and from there to Paris and London.

An enormous terrorist infrastructure has been established by Iran on our border, threatening our citizens, growing stronger before our very eyes, awaiting the moment when the land of the Ayatollahs becomes a nuclear power in order to bring us to our knees. And make no mistake - we won't go down alone. You, the leaders of the free and enlightened world, will go down along with us.

So today, here and now, I am putting an end to this parade of hypocrisy. I don't recall such a wave of reaction in the face of the 100 citizens killed every single day in Iraq. Sunnis kill Shiites who kill Sunnis, and all of them kill Americans - and the world remains silent. And I am hard pressed to recall a similar reaction when the Russians destroyed entire villages and burned down large cities in order to repress the revolt in Chechnya. And when NATO bombed Kosovo for almost three months and crushed the civilian population - then you also kept silent. What is it about us, the Jews, the minority, the persecuted, that arouses this cosmic sense of justice in you? What do we have that all the others don't?

In a loud clear voice, looking you straight in the eye, I stand before you openly and I will not apologize. I will not capitulate. I will not whine. This is a battle for our freedom. For our humanity. For the right to lead normal lives within our recognized, legitimate borders. It is also your battle. I pray and I believe that now you will understand that. Because if you don't, you may regret it later, when it's too late.

Amen!

Mossad or bust.

Does this seem like fun to you?

- Covert intelligence gathering beyond Israel’s borders.

- Developing and maintaining special diplomatic and other covert relations.

- Preventing the development and procurement of non-conventional weapons by hostile countries.

- Preventing terrorist acts against Israeli targets abroad.

- Bringing Jews home from countries where official Aliya agencies are not allowed to operate.

- Producing strategic, political and operational intelligence.

- Planning and carrying out special operations beyond Israel’s borders.

Then go apply here. I just did. You never know, they may just need you! The form only works in IE, not Firefox. You'd think the top Intelligence Agency in the world would know better, huh?

About fucking time!

Worst. Movie. Ever.

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 02:42:34 GMT

I do not know who's bright idea it was to remake The Ten Commandments, but they should be terminated on the spot, no questions asked. The original was a timeless epic. The 2.0 edition is a cheap hack. No, it's really quite horrible -- a complete trainwreck. Extremely inaccurate, patronizing, even insulting... and so damn goyishe! Not once are Moses' people referred to as Jews, or even Hebrews, but as slaves. Undoubtedly, the ignorant, uneducated audience the movie panders to will assume Moses and his "slaves" were Southern Baptists or of some other unchosen flavor.

But the kicker... the kicker is that the Pharaoh looks like Boy George, circa 1985, which is actually mildly entertaining and the only redeeming quality of this "film."

me: but then it collapses again
me: so we go eat pizza with everyone
me: and there's this lady cop near us, eating lunch after working the accident

Last night I had a weird dream -- one of the few I actually remember the next morning. I got a job at Sun Microsystems. I interviewed fine, in a suit and all. But I don't tell my current boss about the new position, just took a day off without quitting first. So I show up to what looks like a school trailer, with some old crappy computers positioned on desks against the walls. At this point I'm wondering when the hell did Sun open an office in Alpharetta. Then I realize I'm wearing capri pants (no clue...), but no shirt or shoes, feeling like I just crawled out of bed and forgot to get fully dresses. I see my coworkers from my previous job there too. Turns out no one told the boss they got new jobs, everyone just kinda took a day off to start at Sun. Then my dad shows up -- apparently he works at Sun too now. He seems pissed at me for showing up to work in just pants. I look around, and everyone is dresses properly, just me looking like a homeless bum. I decide this job blows, tell everyone I quit on my first day, and plan on showing up to my old job the next day. The coworkers feel the same way, and we all agree not to talk about it.

I'm not sure this means anything, but we did order a Sun Server which arrived DOA at work. Their servers are supposed to be some hot shit, but ours was just shit and we sent it back for good the next week.

New Mac Goodness

Wed, 11 Jan 2006 02:05:14 GMT

Apple held their annual Macworld Expo in San Francisco today, revealing lotsa coolness, including the first Intel Macs. iLife 06 is sweet, but despite it all, I was disappointed. First off, they killed the Powerbook brand, replacing it with a MacBook Pro. What a shitty name! Second, and most importantly, they did not release an Intel Mac Mini. Sucks. Now I have to explain to my parents why they need to wait another few months before replacing their dying computer. The alternative is getting yet another Dell, and I'm so damn tired of serving as their personal tech-support. That computer eats fresh Windows installs every six months. Like clockwork :(

New York Magazine: Are Jews Smarter? Interesting article. This may cause another shitstorm of anti-semetism... which in turn makes us smarter yet (according to the theory presented in the article). So we win either way, except the Tay-Sachs bit... Ah, it's good to be the chosen :)

Is it just me, or does "The Colbert Report" kinda suck? Just trying too hard... Colbert was much better on "The Daily Show." And his replacement, Dan-something-or-other is crap. So that's that...

So I just went out for a drive, to see if I could perhaps fill up. The 3 closest gas stations are flat out, leaving me with half a tank (around 8.5 gallons) left. At 18 MPG, I wonder how long it'll last.

I should have gotten the Vespa I wanted in May, as now the dealers are out of them as well.

The next week should be fun...
