@Horace said in Meanwhile, in Israel...: It's too bad that consumption taxes are so regressive. They are at least simple and elegant. Yeah.

Hadn't heard the flap story, but the piece does get one thing wrong...Stewart wasn't directed to fly that mission, he was actually on more of a 2-week dog & pony show. He wanted to go on a mission and the USAF allowed him to go. I don't think he was qualified on the B-52 at all. There is also a film he made for the USAF, touting the B-58, another plane that the film inferred he flew, but there are no records of him doing so. AFAIK, he was qualified on the B-24, B-36 and B-47. The B-36 was a big airplane, bigger than a B-52. In civilian life, he had several aircraft, the most famous being a P-51.

Remember it. This will be a great memory and a story to tell him. We

I think Obama said that raising taxes in a recession is a bad thing. Good thing that we're not in .... Ah, never mind.
