Slogans

It's election time here in the Holy Land. What a total waste of money. The campaigns have started rolling out, and we are swamped in advertisements and noise. Shas, the religious, right-wing, followers of the decrepit, but racist rabbi Ovadia Yosef, came up with the very original, "Yes We Can" slogan. It worked for Obama, why not steal it, its a core competency after all.

The Labor party, brilliantly decided that playing on Ehud Barak's weaknesses is the best way to be elected. Their billboards feature a picture of Barak, looking serious (he has never smiled), with such endearing captions as "Not A Buddy, A Leader" and "Not At All Nice, A Leader". Check out this video if you don't believe me (its been removed, sorry). They should add a few slogans like, "Not Very Smart, A Leader" and "Very Ugly, A Leader".

The front runners, of course, are the dreaded Likud. Currently they are fighting amongst themselves trying to prove they are not fanatical fascist right wing extremists. Incredibly, they are way ahead in the poles. I think their slogan should be, "Vote Likud, We Deserve Nothing Better".

Hallo bpo,

Reading about those elections, those slogans could come from somewhere here in Western Europe.

What has happened to A. Sharon? Is he still in his hospital in coma or has he been disconnected?

Meanwhile
Cheers
Georg

Sharon is still hooked up to a bunch of machines somewhere in the depths of the Israeli Medical System. No one has been able to revive him. Apparently they even tried to wave some shwarma (his favorite food) in his comatose face, but to no avail. Probably the shwama wasn't good enough.
