i remember about 1995 or so, one of my dad's friends tried to tell a joke.

netscape and yahoo recently announced a merger to take place in israel. do you know what the company will be called?

i waited about 10 seconds for somebody else to get it, a lesson i'd been taught by my grade five teacher, who was pissed off that i answered all the questions, often sarcastically, and wanted me to shut the fuck up.

netanyahu, i said.

the guy looked at me, stunned. i was about 15.

that was thirty years ago, which is an unusual amount of time for anybody to stay active in politics, anywhere.
