Great Satan's Girlfriend

I had to reprint this comment from one of the most astute and intelligent bloggers I have come across in years. Courtney, owner of the political savvy and astounding GreatSatan'sGirlfriend, wrote the following comment on my site in response to my post about the establishment of The New Jewish Congress which was launched in Jerusalem on Tuesday.

Folks, your must acquaint yourselves with GreatSatan'sGirlfriend. Here's a sample why:

This is a great opportunity - especially in the PR world - consider redefinition:

right of return = right of relocation.

Example? Compare a map of Deutschland in 1914 to one of 2007. Try and make the case for returning turf that has been German since Roman times and the world will laughing lecture you about the wages states pay when they repeatedly attack their neighbors and repeatedly lose.

Reparations could include land, citizenship and of course cash.

Reparations should be paid by nations who have repeatedly launched wars of agression against a democratic member of the UN.

Palestinian refugees are no different from the nearly 8 million who were driven out of eastern Europe.

Assimilation is key. Time for the ME's pet[t]y despots - benign and horrid to rise to the challenge of accepting responsibility. For the sake of Peace.

History provides other examples - many more recent. Cyprus is one. Never hear about Greeks demanding the Right of Return to Symrna. Or Germans detonating themselves in GDansk protesting Polish rule over Danzig.

What is so magical about Palestinians?

These points should be repeated constantly

Brilliant.

Comments? Where are my comments?!

Well, folks, the new tech news is that this site has converted to the new Blogger, which is also referred to as Blogger Beta, even though Blogger has just announced that it is out of beta, but the name, Blogger Beta, has stuck throughout the blogosphere, so as to not confuse anyone with the old Blogger, which frankly was great, except that it didn't support Categories or Labels and, being the detail-oriented and resource/research tendencies that I have, I couldn't wait to convert to the new Blogger or Blogger Beta, so when I got the notice that my blog was ready to be converted to the new Blogger Beta, I jumped at the opportunity to convert. Aside from this being one of the only posts that I have ever written with the longest run-on sentence EVER, I am remiss to tell you that Blogger Beta no longer supports the terrific and stable comment tool that I have been using for three years - Harry Wynn's BlogSpeak - and Blogger Beta doesn't support Haloscan's new Blogger Beta installation either, which I thought I was going to convert to.

Blogger Beta's comments tool ? Well, it sucks and the reason for that is you are not notified of a commenter's IP address. And in the IT world, the IP address is V E R Y significant. Want to know why? Send me an email and I'll tell you. Anyway, in the meantime, until I find a working commenting tool that works with Blogger Beta, I will have to use - BLECH, UGH, EGAD, EEEEK, Blogger Beta's own proprietary comment system, which, I need to remind you - sucks. So, if change is difficult for you, my friends, as it is for me, please bear with me, as I try to get a better commenting tool in the near future. If anyone knows of a good commenting tool - other than Blogger Beta's, please let me know.
