Terror attack in Jerusalem, March 23.

A channel 10 copy writer was kidnapped and replaced by a hebrew speaking arab terrorist:

then a second attack struck the screen:

Hebrew reads: A charger in a Bus: 31 injured in hospitals in jerusalem.

hospitals are bad for your health, especially when there are chargers in buses. 

Third strike:

The kidnapped copywriter was formally employed in the Kiosk just  next to where the explosion occurred. 

"AN explosion of a Kiosk"

Two stupid signs

How to prepare for disaster:

First thing: Buy stuff.

then make a plan to buy more stuff in case you feel that you need them, write your wish list on a clip pad.

Buy a laptop, that is ready to go out of the box.

be sure to conduct a full market research, make sure you are informed and get a good deal.

Ready?

this sign is so stupid it could have been designed in israel

Why buy an american car? is it because you want to buy a locally made product? like those american cars that have more parts made in japan in them then not, that have more hours of foreign labor put in to them then local? or perhaps its those cars made by slave labor in mexico, or canada. i guess they are both local to the american continent.

maybe its because you want to buy one of those cars that are deliberately designed to be inefficient, so that you will need to buy more fuel, have less power, less technology and are still using the same basic design they did 100 years ago?

or maybe its the reliability of those cars that rust fast, made to last less time then they could so you would have to buy more parts and replace the whole thing sooner then later?

or maybe its the safety features of SUV's that are not classified as regular cars, so that they are not required to have seat belts, breaks, lights or any kind of safety margin? or those smaller cars with truck engines that were called "unsafe at any speed", because they broke down often, crashed and caught fire trapping the passengers inside?

maybe its because you want to support the companied that made the Nazi invasion of europe possible.

i know - its because you want to put your voice along side the companies that made the US what it is today, a country with no public transit, no public health, actually no public anything, that have bankrupt the urban centers and made the US the country with the largest gap between rich and poor in the western world.

Or perhaps those local companies that are now owned by European and Japanese companies, after they went bankrupt twice in the past 20 years because of bad management and bad products? and not only did they go bankrupt, the US government gave them billions of tax payer dollars so they will no collapse and they used that money to pay dividends and bonuses to top executives, and then let the companies go under? those companies who did the same trick twice? and still made bad cars that do not compete with the rest of the world?

perhaps this one as well.

a few weeks ago i got this letter from the Boston Globe. this letter came after many phone calls to ask and make sure i do not want o re activate my subscription i had canceled a few months after we got it in the first place.
there were many reasons we canceled the subscription, the first one came when i left the house one day very early in the morning, actually one could call it very late at night to pick up my parents from the airport, and saw the way the newspaper was actually delivered to my door. a guy driving an SUV was moving along slowly going the wrong way on out one way street with the back gate open throwing the papers on to peoples doors. bad enough this was an actual printed newspaper, but now i saw it was also supporting the american auto and oil industry with this ridicules delivery method. then there was the fact that inspite of this being the 21st century, with all the amenities of the digital world and many decades of experience the paper was never printed properly with at least one page having off set color plates. the cross markers were never lined up and the paper looked like ass because of that. then there was the thinness of this paper. not a whole lot to read other then gossip and bad food reviews about bostons already way over priced restaurants that cater to the other half, not to mention most articles were AP or Reuters, with very little real content. the 3/4 page adds on every page made it hard to read what little content was in it anyway. then it was also not so cheap to get a daily paper which we almost never got around to reading anyway, and when we did we found little in it, printed badly. so we canceled our subscription, claiming we can no longer afford it., but those other reasons had as much to do with our cancellation as money.
then came this letter, in cursive letters which not me nor tess can read, obviously written by hand, as the ink smeared and i can see the pressure marks on the back of the paper, informing me of how cheap the paper might be if i want it back. now explain this to me - the paper is bad, has no content, delivered by an SUV, employed slave labor to write these unbelievable letters, and i should subscribe to it?
these guys need to watch giovani rebisi in boiler room once more. i am not sure that will help.
