What should Bibi's upcoming trip to our slavish Congress cost? How about $3 billion?

I realize I'm posting this at the wrong time of night, i.e., when the Firsters circle like vultures, but screw it!

It's precisely what I thought you meant. I say Off with their funding!! And I mean all of it for at least five years and then, if we should decide to reinstate any funding, it should be minimal and no weapons involved. They have plenty of $$, why should we give them ours?

become evident to anyone partially well versed in the lingua franca in use here that there were at least two individuals engaged in a conversation of sorts which would mean that there is indeed a "we" rather than just "me" conversing with myself... but YOU knew that.

And I supposed I anticipated that the apologists would arrive without delay.

Is there an EIPAC or JORPAC or PALPAC with the same grip on Congress as AIPAC? Please!
