I wasn't overwhelmed with interest in today's paper, but found a few topics of interest. The article about the Republicans' feelings toward Israeli PM Netanyahu was interesting because it shows a leader from a different country basically engaging in US politics and proceedings. The Obama Administration called on Netanyahu, as a lobbyist figure, to help Congress not block new aid to the Palestinian Authority. The fact that certain Republicans look to a foreign PM before their own president is frighting for the US and bipartisan proceedings. The state of US politics currently is astounding as one party will do almost anything to see the other fail, even if that means creating strong bonds overseas rather than at home.
Another article I liked was on the other side of the news spectrum. West Hollywood, a small town in California, is the first town in the nation to ban the sale of animal fur. Other laws passed by the town include a ban on declawing cats and selling animals in pet stores, all of which tie in for the purpose of pushing animal rights on a national stage. Its nice to see a small town trying to make a difference in a big world and as one who dislikes using real fur for appeal, I'm all for the new West Hollywood law.
