THE SCREW YOU AWARDS

This blog, which is experiencing burn-out, is pleased to announce the first-ever Back-of-the-Hill SCREW YOU AWARDS.

The screw you awards will be balanced; I am nothing if not a man of compromise and equitability.


So


THE BAY AREA:

To the Bay Area Jews who think I'm too left-wing for them to stand with me at a pro-Israel demonstration:
SCREW YOU.

To the Bay Area Gentiles who think that being pro-Israel is too right-wing:
SCREW YOU.

To the Bay Area Jews who would rather support the Palestinians:
SCREW YOU.

To the Bay Area Gentiles who are too lazy to study the issues but are nevertheless incredibly opinionated about Israel and Palestine:
SCREW YOU.

To the Bay Area Jews who support Israel but don't want to be seen supporting Israel:
SCREW YOU.

To the Bay Area Gentiles who say they support Israel but disapprove of Israel's behaviour:
SCREW YOU.

To the Bay Area Jews who won't get off their duff to protest, but kvetch about how there isn't enough support for Israel:
SCREW YOU.

To the Bay Area Gentiles who are always hypercritical of Israel, but totally and actively supportive of those dear sweet Palliwallies:
SCREW YOU.

To the Christians in the deep South who constantly criticize the Bay Area as too liberal:
SCREW YOU.
[You may be right. But you're wrong on so many things, so SCREW YOU as a matter of principle. Twice. With something sharp and rusty. Okay?]


THE DUTCH AND THE EUROPEANS:

To the Dutch who keep insisting that Americans, Jews, and Israelis are all brutes and barbarians:
SCREW YOU.

To the Europeans who keep harping on the flaws of the United States, real or imagined (mostly imagined):
SCREW YOU.

To the Europeans who cuddle up to every brutal third world regime that is anti-American:
SCREW YOU.

To the Europeans who will endlessly howl about the US and Israel, but never even mention Tibet, Chechnya, Sudan, or Cuba:
SCREW YOU.

To the European governments who collaborate thoroughly with the US on so many issues, but encourage their people to hate the US because, after all, we're a bunch of barbarians:
SCREW YOU.

To the self-satisfied priggish European press, which is so biased and partial that they would only be suited for fish wrap - if the Europeans actually knew how to cook fish:
SCREW YOU.



ISRAEL AND WHATEVER THAT OTHER AREA IS CALLED:

To the Palestinians:
SCREW YOU.

To the other Arabs:
SCREW YOU.

To the Iranians, and, what the heck, the entire Muslim world:
SCREW YOU.

To Shimon Peres:
SCREW YOU.

To Jimmy Carter:
SCREW YOU.

To Condoleeza Rice, who is pressuring Olmert to make impossible concessions:
SCREW YOU.

To Ehud Olmert, who wants to give away the farm:
SCREW YOU.

To Abbas, whose only loyal constituency appears to be Kadima:
SCREW YOU.

To the peaceniks in Israel who support Abbas:
SCREW YOU.

To the European socialists who support the peaceniks:
SCREW YOU.

To the misguided idiots on the left in the US who think the European socialists are wonderful:
SCREW YOU.



THE AMERICANS:

To the Republicans who keep supporting the dumbest president since Bush:
SCREW YOU.

To the Democrats who support Hillary:
SCREW YOU.

To the Democratic congress-people who voted for war:
SCREW YOU.

To the Democratic congress-people who now claim that they were tricked into voting for war:
SCREW YOU.

To the congress-people on both sides who allowed the Bush administration to gut our freedoms:
SCREW YOU.

To the redneck slope-browed inbred hicks who encouraged the Bush administration to gut our freedoms:
SCREW YOU.

To the Democratic Party leaders who sat around with a digit up their rear while our freedoms were gutted:
SCREW YOU.

To the panicky middle-class Americans who approved of the gutting of our freedoms because they were scared of "them":
SCREW YOU.

To Jimmy Carter:
SCREW YOU AGAIN.
I HOPE THAT RABBIT COMES BACK AND GETS YOU.
[You're a nasty little man, and remarkably uneducated. Plus you smell of peanuts. Ick.]



More awards as they come to me. Feel free to add your own candidates to the list. There is plenty of fed-uppedness to go around.


I will not be counter-demonstrating the Bay Area Women in Black this weekend, and I do not know whether I will be doing it the following week either. I need a break. Specifically, I need to wake up late on Saturday for the first time in over half a year, putz around the house in my bathrobe with a pipe in my mouth, and just kick back without having to deal with anyone. Punkt.
