Back to the Future Again?

Hollywood actor Michael J.Fox may be starring in a final instalment of the Back to the Future series.   But there’s a small catch. Michael J. Fox is in talks to star in a final Back To The Future film.   The actor, who suffers from Parkinson’s disease, admits he’s in negotiations the film – [...]

Horizontally Challenged

At the moment, the mainstream media – in Israel and overseas – seem to be infatuated with the topic of Ariel Sharon’s eating habits. And they are attacking Sharon with all the ferocity of…well, Sharon attacking a shwarma. Newspapers and radio talk shows focused on Sharon‚Äôs eating habits ‚Äì which apparently consist of a lot [...]

Attack of the Communist Super Ape Men

Don’t you just love the ideas that evil dictators come up with in order to take over the world?   Take Hitler for example. He wanted to create “robot” soldiers, as well as sex dolls, both of which would help him realize his dream of a Hitler-led, Judenrhein world.   Now it has come to light [...]

(Even more so than he did when he said the words “I did not have sexual relations [...]

If any podcaster is to be associated with drinking, it better be me, dammit!   Laurence has come to the rescue with the Israellycool Podcast drinking game. Drink a sip of [...]

Today’s Awards

Since this is the awards season, I thought I would announce a few today.   The Don’t Get Carried Away Award   …goes to Israeli Cabinet Secretary Yisrael Maimon, who had this to say about Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. “He looks excellent.” He looked far from excellent before the stroke, so I doubt he looks [...]

Of Strokes and Jokes

Prime Minister Sharon is recovering in hospital after last night’s mild stroke, and may be discharged soon. His personal physician has stated that there was no permanent damage caused by the stroke. “Unequivocally, there was no permanent damage caused to him,” Dr. Goldman said. He added that Sharon’s functioning was in no way damaged. “He [...]
