Greetings from Gaza City, Gaza

P. David Hornik says the reason there's been so little progress in Mideast "peace" talks is because Palestinians, infatuated with Hezbo and Hamas, are "blinded" by their hate.

Hey, wasn't that a song by Bruce Springsteen--"Blinded by the ha-a-ate/Wrapped up like a douche in the desire to 'liminate"...?

No, no, it's "racked up like a douche"...

"In Springsteen's version the line is "Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night" and in Mann's version the line reads "revved up like a deuce, runner in the night". According to Springsteen the line refers to a 1932 Ford Deuce Coupe, though in listening to Mann's version, the word deuce sounds like "douche", which is a feminine hygiene product. Springsteen has jokingly stated that this is the reason Mann's version gain much more popularity than his own."

Thanks for the trivia, Dave. Neither of those lines ever made much sense to me. I admit to having a soft spot, though, for Manfred Mann, the band that sang Do Wa Diddy and what may be my favorite Dylan cover, The Mighty Quinn.
