Zelensky; the kind of leader who doesn't wince at the rattle of a machine-gun

What a Churchill! None other than Alan Dershowitz nominated him for the Nobel PP. But then Al had to go write an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal calling out the Z-man for his claims that the Ukrainian nation "saved Jews" during the Holocaust. Ya, Zelensky was a comedian before he was a Churchill. How about that Dershowitz, eh? I'd thought he'd lowered his standards when he joined the Trump defence team, but I just took a gander at his Wikipedia page, and the guy's been defending world-class shit-bags his entire career! Everybody from Leona Helmsley to OJ Simpson! And he's pretty good at it too! But I digress. Suffice it to say, if Zelensky wins this war, the Dersh-man will be on Putin's defence team at the war crimes trials. If Putin wins this war. the Dersh-o-nator will be on Zelensky's defense team at the war crimes trials. Either way. he's gonna be in the headlines for years to come. So who is winning this war? Zelensky has been pushing the Russians back since February. Putin is losing so bad he just held bogus referendums and annexed 100,000 sq. km. of Ukraine. But the forces of GOOD are forcing the bad guys back all over the place. With just a few more months and a few more billions in weapons, victory is assured! Weapons weapons weapons!!! Billions billions billions!!! Sure glad I bought into that Carlyle Group Defence Portfolio when I did!

HRH Prince Andrew buffeted by winds of political correctitude

Things are not looking good for his Royal almost Highness.

Did he or did he not get a hand job from that 17 year old Florida girl who had no idea why she was taking home thousands of dollars for a few hours work?

Follow the Daily Mail for all the most tawdry and latest details.

I've got conflicting thoughts on the matter. I've been following the Daily Mail coverage, and I have to say, for the most part it's got the ring of truth about it.

Is it safe to assume Prince Andrew didn't get the nick-name "Randy Andy" for nothing?

Well, while it's never safe to assume anything, it's probably relatively safe to assume that Prince Randy Andy was and is accustomed to getting what he wants.

Ya, it may be an ugly thing, but lets not forget that until very recently, it was not that unusual for older men to boink under-age girls, especially if the older men were rich and/or famous.

Does the name "Berlusconi" ring any bells?

You could almost call it a "cultural norm."

After all, what do you think was running through the mind of Sam Geimer's mum when she dropped her 13 year old daughter off at Roman Polanski's place?

It's not a news flash that older guys are attracted to young women. And when the older men are rich and famous, it's not unknown for those young women to be attracted right back.

A guy named Nabokov wrote a really famous book about the phenomenon. 

If I were a betting man, I'd bet HRH is guilty as charged.

For my money, the far more interesting question would be; where would that leave the unctuous blowhard Alan Dershowitz?

Does Iran have the right to defend itself?

Harvard law professor and uber-patriot Alan Dershowitz went all out today in an interview with Newsmax.

He's got a major hate on for the website Media Matters, who have at times been critical of Israel. He singled out M.J. Rosenberg as someone who should never be read and in the unfortunate event that he is, should never be taken seriously.

Why? Because M.J. Rosenberg has been critical of Benyamin Netanyahu. Can you imagine such a thing? Critical of Bibi?

Rosenberg is obviously as anti-semetic as it is possible to be.

Dershowitz also has a special circle of hate reserved for George Soros, who provides Media Matters with some of its financing. Apparently when way-too-rich people support liberal causes something unnatural is going on.

The core of Dershowitz's snit seems to be that neither Soros or Rosenberg support an immediate attack on Iran. That in itself is evidence of anti-semitism on planet Dershowitz. By his reasoning every Jew in the world needs to march in lock-step with the Likud nuke-em-now agenda.

Every Jew who doesn't agree with Alan Dershowitz is an anti-semite.

Ironically, there is far more criticism of Likud policy and of Netanyahu in the Israeli press than is ever seen in American media.

So where does that leave our friends... oops, I mean our enemies in Iran?

Well, Dershowitz reiterates that endlessly reiterated truism that Israel has the right to defend itself. That might mean attacking other countries before those countries have actually done anything.

Lets turn it back to Al. Does Iran, as a sovereign country, have the same self-defense rights as Israel?
