When Israeli Foreign Minster Tzipi Livni...

Margaret Hartmann — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:40:00 EST

When Israeli Foreign Minster Tzipi Livni runs for prime minister early next year, she'll be able to run political ads on the side of buses in Jerusalem, thanks to a small political party called Wake Up, Jerusalemites. When the party tried to buy advertising on buses for six candidates for city council, they were told that their three female candidates could not appear in the ads because Egged, the public transportation company, said they feared that if the bus were to drive through an ultra-orthodox neighborhood, it would offend the haredim so much that they might attack it. Even when the Black-Eyed Peas played Jerusalem, the bus company photo-shopped Fergie out of the posters. [Time] More »

Found Art

Sadie Stein — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 18:45:00 EST

A 2,000 year old gold earring was just found beneath a parking lot near Jerusalem's Old City. And it's nice: "A large pearl inlaid in gold with two drop pieces, each with an emerald and pearl set in gold," which would obviously have belonged to someone of status. Because Jerusalem was sacked so many times, and most precious metals were melted down or sold, such intact finds are rare — especially Roman ones. The piece is valuable not merely for its beauty but because it "brings attention to the life of women in antiquity." [LiveScience] More »

Hot Obama Adviser Samantha Power F*****s Up Big Time!

Moe — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 10:00:00 EST

Dear Obama foreign policy adviser Samantha Power, you are hot. You are Elizabeth Kucinich hot, maybe even Huma Abedin hot. But you like to say "Fuck" and that's what really counts here. You play basketball. With George Clooney. You're a humanitarian. Marie Claire named you the Smartest Woman In America. You wrote a book on UN Sergio Vieira de Mello, which...reminds us that the Iraq War has killed not only 600,000 or so innocents, but some with really sexy names. You're not afraid to go back and admit that something you said before was "stupid." But we never really thought much about you until yesterday, when you gave an interview to a Scottish newspaper while drunk. Or something. You admitted you "fucked up" in Ohio. And then proceeded to fuck up some more! After the jump Megan Carpentier of the blog Glamocracy and I discuss whether it's possible Power called Hillary a "monster" affectionately, and also Condi, Pelosi, Boeing, Ed Rendell, anarchy in Times Square, text messages from Hamas and the Smurfs, in a special deluxe A380 sized TGIF IM.

Another Deadly School Shooting...

Moe — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 18:30:20 EST

Oh yay, the terrorists are taking cues from the school shooters now. A day after Condi leaves Israel, at a religious school known as the birthplace of Zionism. Ten died, some of them clutching Bibles as they fell to the floor. [WSJ]

Project Runway Season Finale — Rami Kashou

Jennifer — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 15:20:00 EST

Rami Kashou did not, thankfully, announce (yet again) that he's from Jerusalem during this morning's Project Runway finale. He did, however, show a lot of draped gowns which were, per usual, wonderful, (his separates and day wear, however, were horrendous). What was up with those olive green pants?
