You may be alone in liking Rosanne. All it had going for it was the question of whether the slightly goth daughter was pretty or not. Other than that it was just bleh.

Once it became clear that this line of analysis was erroneous, most commentators followed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's lead and criticised President Barack Obama's Administration for not supporting Mubarak. The Foreign News editor of one channel noted that: "The fact that the White House is permitting the protests is reason for worry;" while the prominent political analyst Ben Kaspit expressed his longing for President George W. Bush.
"We remember 2003 when George Bush invaded and took over Iraq with a sense of yearning", Ben Kaspit wrote. "Libya immediately changed course and allied itself with the West. Iran suspended its military nuclear program. Arafat was harnessed. Syria shook with fear. Not that the invasion of Iraq was a wise move (not at all, Iran is the real problem, not Iraq), but in the Middle East whoever does not walk around with a big bat in his hand receives the bat on his head."
Israeli commentators are equivocal on the issue of Egyptian democracy. One columnist explained that it takes years for democratic institutions to be established and for people to internalise the practices appropriate for democracy, while Amir Hazroni from NRG went so far as to write an ode to colonialism:
"When we try to think how and why the United States and the West lost Egypt, Tunis, Yemen and perhaps other countries in the Middle East, people forget that. The original sin began right after WWII, when a wonderful form of government that protected security and peace in the Middle East (and in other parts of the Third Word) departed from this world following pressure from the United States and Soviet Union... More than sixty years have passed since the Arab states and the countries of Africa were liberated from the 'colonial yoke,' but there still isn't an Arab university, an African scientist or a Middle Eastern consumer product that has made a mark on our world."

Yes I too believe that the Arabs need to be kept repressed for the safety of the Jews.

I don't like how that link just shuffles all Israelis together as agreeing with one viewpoint. I know most Israelis feel the defense of their country is paramount above all else (and really, what country wouldn't in their situation?), but I doubt most share the radical views of those who are unfortunately in power at this point.
I'm pretty sure however if Israel were substituted with a proportional representation of America and it's culture/politics/people half the mideast would be glass at this point in time. Or at least it would be quite the possibility.
Another website said a report said this would create 80,000 tourist jobs. I don't get it.
80k jobs? How? I mean, yeah: I won't vitit the isles until that one hour discrepancy goes away!
This would make my job harder, as it means we would have one hour less to correspond with our Chicagoland colleagues, and increases the risk of having to stay to six or seven pm for meetings.

I have a horrible feeling my John Lewis order is going to arrive today while I'm out of the house.

Just read everything in Ben Stein's voice.

But that takes an incredible amount of time. Holy shit does it take a long time.

That's the dumbest thing I ever saw.
I am almost surely going to get the game

Oh, it's already available? Tell me more!
I always figured the reverse would happen for visitors from the continent.
"It's 8am, I have to get up now if I'm gonna see everything! Oh wait, it's actually 7am, I can sleep for longer! "
Or like, Madonna circa 1983.

This would result in Scotland barely seeing any light whatsoever!

Wait, it's different times in your different countries?
What black magic is this?
But London would get up to 23 extra tourists*!

Man out here in the Americas we have different times in DIFFERENT PARTS OF STATES.
