Inappropriate One-Sided Conversation Of The Day

Rob: "...downtown Portland is a lot like Israel, really."

J: "...?"

Rob: "Well, Israel shares borders with Lebanon, Syria, the Palestinians..."

J: "???"

Rob: "It's kind of like that downtown. On our borders, we've got hippies to the east, tweakers to the north-east, hipsters to the north..."

J: "!!!!!"

Rob: "I'm just waiting for somebody to start shelling..."

It drives me absolutely insane to see the white house bark off talking points about a solution to a conflict in the middle east that dates back thousands of years, and I don't think the U.S. has any business taking sides in something like that.

I'm just tossing out a thought here, but... when "god" told the Israelites to go to the "promised land" it might have been cool if he'd mentioned it to the people who were already living there.

Ain't mythology grand?
