Ahojky!
I cannot write about my FedEx nightmare just yet because I'm still going through it. Suffice it to say that I'm NEVER enlisting the services of those assholes EVER again. I don't care if I have to pay five times the price and use DHL, FedEx is a pile of worthless, lazy, no-good, motherfucking pinko shit.
Yes, I am somewhat put out.
Full details to come when (and if!) I ever overcome my instant predicament.

Anyway, following are a few random matters...
Our martyred rosh memshalah Yitzkhak Rabin (HY"D) -- this week marks the tenth anniversary of his murder
For an excellent reflection on Dr. Rabin's final moments, see Shimon's blog. See more on his glorious life in a nutshell and, for a more detailed look, consult Misrad haKhutz or Wikipedia.
There are two quintessential things we must not forget. Firstly, Yitzkhak Rabin(HY"D) did not come to prominence when he shook the hand of that ghastly Arafat. No; just like Dr. Sharon, Chief-of-Staff Rabin played pivotal roles in Israel's many struggles--first for independence and later for survival. He was a hero on the battlefield, as well as on the diplomatic circuit. He gave his Country and his People his all.
Secondly, despite the crypto-fascists' unremitting efforts in haAretz and especially in the Galut to demonize him and besmirch his memory, it is imperative that we remember that his inaugurating the Oslo Accords paved the way for at least COMMUNICATION between Israelis and Palestinians (if objectively for little else) and indeed for the normalization of our relations with Jordan. Fortunately, the majority of Israelis believes that the Oslo Accords were a positive development.
Dr. Yitzkhak Rabin A"H, your memory is for a blessing.

This young boy...
Akhmad Ismail Khatib (N"E)
...was mistakenly shot by Tzaha"l a couple of weeks ago. He lay in coma for several days in an Israeli hospital before passing away. His grieving family showed immense courage and a giant heart when they decided to donate Akhmad's organs to Israeli children! A couple of days later, his organs were transplanted to six Israelis. (When visiting the linked websites, do also have a look at the readers' comments: particularly those from idiots who cannot pass up any opportunity, no matter how incongruous, to score cheap points and spew bile.) This one action totally eclipses the utmost efforts of all the hatemongers in mizrakh hatikun and wider. Yasher koakh to the family--they are truly exceptional human beings--and well done to Dr. Sharon who offered to meet them in person.

That's under the Progress rubric for today. And by way of Regress, I bring you "Old Habits Die Hard", courtesy of the Austrians. Austrians, a nation that elected a former Nazi as its president, also have as one of the top executives of its government broadcasting agent a man who attends neo-Nazi commemoration events. At least he's not a painter... - so nothing to worry about, right?
* * *
And following Iranian "president's" recent remarks to the effect that Israel should be wiped off the map (he forgot WE're the ones with the nukes here, jerkoff), thousands of people in Italy and elsewhere in Europe held spontaneous rallies in support of haAretz. Look at the pictures: they're easily the most stirring part.
Probably as importantly, a lone voice of dissent: a female Iranian student in Hungary apologized to Klal Yisrael on behalf of all normal Iranians.
And most importantly, can anyone intimate if the girl in question is single!?

...Which brings me to:
Saw a fun article a few days ago on MSN: Ten ways to ask him out. lol! Ladies, take note!
Non-Sequitur -- three types of women I despise: (1) women who are arrogant, (2) women who are interested in money (mine, or their own - read: career freaks), and (3) women who play games. So WHY OH WHY do I keep meeting only one or more of the three kinds??
Aych...
