    As long as we're blogging Onion articles, here's one for joe:

    Sometimes I Feel Like I'm The Only One Trying To Gentrify This Neighborhood

    I bet if the Onion article ran in the local newspaper most people would believe it.

    So, let me get this straight. The media and experts just now "discovered" that the Israelis and Arabs have different core sacred values and act irrationally because of it? It always cracks me up when some "expert" "discovers" what has always been common sense to me. Like when a new study shows that boys and girls are different or that eating, drinking and sex are fun.

    And you could always do worse than any Middle East Peace Plan thought up by Scott Adams.
