Re: Shady oligarchs and the politics of pork
by noorster
I rarely shop at Tiv Tam as I have to go out of my way to get there (I frequent that Other 24/7 Chain) and I eat pork every leap year, but the news made me want to drop everything and curl up under my desk in the fetal position and possibly cry. This guy is Creepy McCreep from Creepville and it doesn't help that I feel he's spiting us mainstream Israelis living in sin to win the votes of, well, those who've never even seen the interior of a Tiv Tam shop. It's like a very expensive experiment in appealing to voters who might harbour resentment towards those of us who are a little better off, a little more secular, a little more interested in our selfish desire to lead a comfortable life. It's like he's saying , "Your lives suck, yes, I know, but look! I've just made *them* suffer too!" Not surprising given the guy's social agenda which I believe can be summed up as "Here's your bread, you starving assholes." Comment brought to you by a stressful workweek, a strong dislike of Communist populism and a pronounced fondness for cheese.
