CENSORED!

I started this blog two months ago. Google offered me their ads, so I applied. Took quite a while, but eventually I got a curt email saying I had been REJECTED but not giving any serious information about how to change that. Hmmph. Then yesterday I posted a piece called "Bibispeak". Within an hour or two, if you did a search for "Bibispeak" it came up as the top item. But today it no longer exists at all! And now I find that feedblitz has stopped sending my articles out to subscribers without telling me. Now I think I really will have to get hold of that spear (see introductory article on site). Am I really so dangerous? At least feedblitz has an email address one can write to in order to hopefully find out what is going on. As for Google, forget it. They are clearly so infallible that nobody can ever say anything they may wish to hear. If they are even human at all any more. See http://blogoscoped.com/googlerobot/

Bibispeak

I've been quiet for a bit. So we got "the speech". I think Mr Netanyahu did his best. For me his best isn't quite good enough, but I don't have a credible alternative available at the moment. But this speech did spur me to action. I have spent most of my adult life avoiding the messy business of joining political parties, although I have voted for many, many of them, pretty well never missing an election. I used to describe myself as an "extreme moderate" but what passes for moderation seems to have metamorphosed since those days. Consequently while Mr Feiglin has been calling on us for years to join the Likud and make a real difference, I baulked. Mr Netanyahu has now convinced me, and I joined up. Next time the alternative presents him or herself, I will be in position. Hey, why not join me?
