    Umm, Georgie dear, how come you’re not giving Bibi Netanyahu and Ehud Barak the same treatment?

    “An accused terrorist was re-arrested for repeatedly getting too close to London’s Olympic Park thanks to a GPS monitoring device that British authorities have used in special cases to track terror suspects who may pose a risk but cannot be prosecuted, local authorities said Sunday.”

    in non-jewish-media speak, the person looked muslim, and hadn’t done anything criminal.

    yes, a delicate thing, language.

    may i take this opportunity to warn agents using voice-activated technologies, that they should avoid confusing the phrase “terror suspects” with its innocent near-homophone “terrace Uzbeks”.

    the former term was first used, though not with its present sinister connotations, by Shakespeare’s butler, Zebadiah Bandage, a minor poet in his own right, who penned in his Sonnet Upon a Deyde Ratte the words:

    …so, gripped by terrour suspects his bosome freynde…

    the harmless phrase “terrace Uzbeks” is a term employed by chic Muscovites to refer to those nouveaux-riches whose behaviour is loutish in the manner of a Central Asian football supporter (many of who have since emigrated to make a new life in Israel)

            munsters? (which, according to at least one fiction-writer, had “a subtext drawn from St Theotokos the Archimandrite’s secret history of Khazar palace life circa 8th century.” – see Marilyn Dunkelstein’s excellent and scholarly article “The Precursors of Soap – a Historico-Theological Re-examination of some Misconceptions about early Television’s Impact on the Development of the Pre-Teenage Superego” in last month’s Critical Review)
