STRANGE THINGS THAT OCCUR TO ME

For some reason I have a mental image of “Survivor” with all the members of the Endless as contestants. And the group of them coming to tribal council, and Jeff pulling out the ballots one by one and saying, “Destruction…Destruction…Destruction,” and Destruction is voted off the island, which would be the untold story of why Destruction departed. And my guess is that Dream would be the next one voted off (since so many people are willing to give up their dreams.)

And people wonder where I get ideas.

Don’t even ask about my notion for “Pilates of the Caribbean.”

BOY, FEEL THE LOVE IN *THIS* ROOM

I wonder how Jon Stewart, himself a Jew, felt on “The Daily Show” when they were running that clip from a meeting of various Muslim reps worldwide, where a speaker was talking about how Jews were secretly running the world and were manipulating others into doing their fighting for them. A speech that, according to Stewart, received a standing ovation (“Indicating,” he noted, “that the other speeches must have really suuuuuucked.”) I mean, you joke about it, but geez. It just underscores once again the fundamental problem Israel faces in trying to negotiate with people whose long-term goal is its eradication, and America’s problem in the eyes of the Muslim world since we’re allies of Israel.
