Sometimes, you wake up and just feel that today will be better than yesterday. Today is not one of those days.

* We did not actually give this quote to the Daily Trojan last night. It's demonstrably true, but it's from some previous interview that had nothing to do with last night's debate. That debate was between RJC CA chair Larry Greenfield and Andrew Lachman representing LA Democrats for Israel. Our very partisan verdict: facecrush. Apparently it's very hard to argue that Democrats are good for Israel. Who knew? Which is not to say that Greenfield had an easy time - he's got Annapolis hanging around his neck right now. Still: facecrush (full disclosure: we know Larry have had the pleasure of talking to him on occasion).

* Illustration of facecrush: Lachman was enthusiastically emoting about how much the rest of the world hates Bush, how the Democrats' global apology tour will make people like the US again, etc. Greenfield pointed out that this was - our words, not his - bullshit. So then Lachman had to play some defense about how the elections of Merkel, Sarkozy, etc had nothing to do with Bush - "domestic issues" sophistication on display. Neo-neocon reminds us this morning that this argument is - our words, not hers - also bullshit.

* Clever.

* Nice catch by Elder of Ziyon. Abbas will offer Olmret exactly what Barak rejected in 2002. Barak is already way to Olmert's right, representing the defense establishment's opposition to Annapolis in the Cabinet. The way that 2002's "Palestinian concessions" are lining up with 2007's identical offers won't help Olmert convince Barak to pretend that peace talks might work.

* Rank anti-Israel bias at the LA Times? The hell you say. CAMERA catches our local paper in out and out historical revisionism.

* Iran's new missile can go 2,000 km. If Annapolis goes the way that the State Department wants it to, that'll be about 1,999.5 km more than Hamas needs to fire it into the Western Wall.
