Not seeing where she said no one watches him. Are you just making stuff up and assigning beliefs and positions to people again?

LOL.

Caught in a lie (or at best, tossing out a complete falsehood without even a scant effort to know WTF you're talking about), shift goalposts. Well done.

You might have missed one little detail - Niki said nothing about ratings (that was you - and you were full of it).

Note to self: Come up with some pity-baiting sig line so everyone sees how persecuted poor wittle me is. Then I can be just like Rappy!

Hey, thanx Story! I didn't know that, and what it says is illuminating!

And it's true, I said nothing, nor was I thinking about, ratings. The fact that Stewart's little four-day-a-week, half-hour show out does ALL of FauxNews' ratings gives me hope, and speaks volumes.

And yes, it WOULD be truly wonderful if that's all this was, hopefully everyone (with notable exceptions) wishes that too. As long as the elections happened BEFORE an actual war was begun!

Official: Israel, US disagree on Iran timetable =>

Israel and the U.S. disagree on what would be a realistic timetable for
stopping Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, Israel's defense minister
said Thursday, but he stopped short of threatening unilateral Israeli action.

No chance Iran will take a chance against Israel =>

Yes, the Iranian government may profess hatred for Israel and shout that
it must be destroyed, but let’s be real: When Iran goes nuclear, it will
engage Israel in a MAD (mutually assured destruction) standoff. Since
Israel has the bomb (plenty of them, in fact), an Iranian nuclear strike
against Israel would ensure Iran’s annihilation. The ayatollahs running
Iran aren’t stupid. In fact, they need Israel far more than Israel needs them.

Israel opposes UN inquiry into threats to Palestinian rights

"ISRAEL HAS decided not to co-operate with a United Nations
fact-finding mission mandated to investigate how Israeli
settlements may be infringing on Palestinian rights."

Yeah, that one pissers me off, too. Israel has long had a policy of putting up settlements in Palestinian territory, then expanding and expanding and refusing to slow down development. Makes me sick, especially since our country has so blindly backed them all along.
