Israellycool Podast #45: One Year

The latest Israellycool Podcast (#45) is now up on my podcast site. On this week’s show, I celebrate my one-year podcasting anniverary by talking about Olmert’s visit to the US, Gorilla news, the clowns of the Neturei Karta, Eurovision and, of course, William Shatner.

Curious Minds Need to Know

Will someone please tell me what the point of the “million pixels” websites (such as this one) is?   It seems to me like the only winners from it are the owners of these sites, who manage to convince people to purchase pixels on a site with no proven traffic!   Think about it. The [...]

Screaming Blue Murder

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas performs in the comeback of his hit play: The Scream.  

Update on Nanny Dearest

The nanny from hell (previously mentioned on this blog here) has been sentenced to 18 months in prison, and fined NIS 5,000 in damages to the infants’ parents and an additional NIS 1,000 (in total, approximately $1400).

On the Way to World Domination

Measure 1: Force RSS feed subscribers to visit.   I have already implemented my first measure to increase traffic to this blog. My RSS feed will now only contain excerpts of posts, so if you are one of those naughty people who only read my blog using an RSS feed reader, you will have to [...]

Israel News Briefs

On the terror front.. Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh has told Haaretz that his Hamas government is prepared to agree to an extended cease-fire if Israel withdraws to the 1967 lines. Hmm…we give up land we captured from the Arabs in a war they imposed on us, and they give us their word they will [...]

Product Placement

It seems to be that more and more photos from the mainstream media dealing with the palestinians or Arab world contain product endorsements. All that’s missing are the catchy slogans. That’s where I come in.   Cocal Cola: Coke is da’ bomb     Nike: Just surrender     Canada: Bring your ski mask     [...]
