An excellent essay Walt and Mearsheimer: Kissinger's disciples? by Bob from Brockley.
And re realpolitik as it applies to USA - Israel ties: anyone who seriously considers that USA will support Israel a minute after US geopolitical interests diverge with these of Israel, should have his/her romantic head examined.

Walt and Mearsheimer and Kissinger's realpolitik
Sandra Bullock Pregnant This Year?
This is a headline I've slavishly copied from here. I consider it being remarkable by itself, but it's left standing by the following quote from the same post:
According to the interview, Sandra Bullock is happy to become pregnant, but that is not the only way she is thinking about becoming a mother.This one really stumped me. Is there any other way to become a mother?

Netanyahu reaches understanding with Netanyahu
This takes some deciphering:
Hefez said that Netanyahu had reached a "list of understandings" on policy toward Palestinians with U.S. President Barack Obama in their talks in Washington.And then:
Spokesman Mark Regev said that when Hefez said understandings had been reached, he was "articulating the Israeli position, he is not articulating a joint position".Yeah, well, let's schlep out the confusion sign:
P.S. The mere fact of Bibi reaching understanding with Bibi is also encouraging enough: so far it didn't happen.
When the machinery fails
TSA (Transportation Security Administration) has not yet experienced such surge in candidates for the security screeners' positions.
Details.

Outsmarting History
Had the so-called lunatics of the 2008 McCain-Palin rallies been caught saying that, in the course of one day, an Obama presidency would seize one-sixth of the private sector and describe East Jerusalem housing as "undermin[ing] mutual trust” and “expose[ing] daylight between Israel and the United States,” we’d have choked to death on headlines about “playing with fire” and “the politics of fear.”A provocative and interesting article by Abe Greenwald in Commentary Magazine.
Scrotie McBoogerBalls and Catcher in the Rye
If the narrative here is true, it must have been pretty funny indeed.
