Accidentally tuned in
Got really bored yesterday, plugged in the TV and checked for local news. Unfortunately neither of the available stations had news at 5; one had football and the other had a Candidate Debate On Foreign Policy.
Watched the Candidate Debate On Foreign Policy for a while, and got totally puzzled.
These guys all have American-sounding names, but none of them were even mentioning the foreign policy interests of America. Instead, they were all running for President of Israel, all competing to see who could defend the interests and borders of Israel most ferociously. Romney clearly won the Idol voting with his rousing rendition of the old McCain number "Bomb-bomb-bomb-Iran".
Was this a satellite switching error? Why would an American network be carrying a debate among Israeli candidates? It's a mystery. ¶ 3:11 AM
