    Netanyahu's legal troubles mount as police seek new bribery charges

    JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli police on Sunday said they had found enough evidence for bribery and fraud charges to be brought against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife in a third corruption case against the Israeli leader.

    Authorities allege Netanyahu awarded regulatory favors to Israel’s leading telecommunications company, Bezeq Telecom Israel (BEZQ.TA), in return for more positive coverage of him and his wife on a news website, Walla, owned by the company. Netanyahu denies any wrongdoing. 

    If indicted, the four-term prime minister would be facing one of the greatest challenges to his political survival. Despite his dominance of Israeli politics, the newest police recommendation comes just after his right-wing coalition’s majority was reduced to a precarious one seat in parliament. 

    The final decision on whether to indict rests with Israel’s attorney-general, who is still weighing whether to charge Netanyahu in the other two cases.

    Well that's the mentality here because here, it's just given that the Israelis actually have a right to do such things, and there's no end to the depth of the morally depraved apologetics that defenders of such barbarism will offer. 

    They need to do that in order to fulfill prophecy so Jesus can come back, end the world, and send them all to Hell. A Hell they don't believe in. 

    Duh. Religion makes perfect sense. Get on board. 

  4. Here's an interesting factoid. Ohio State and Washington have never faced each other in the Rose Bowl. I wouldn't have guessed that. Michigan and Washington have played each other in the Rose Bowl four times, splitting the series 2-2. (According to stassen.com.)

    I had a good time enjoying wings and beers with some Washington fans at the original bw-3 location when the Huskies came to Columbus back in 2003. I didn't make the trip to Seattle in 2007. I'd love to see a game in that stadium sometime.

    Not only that, the millions spent on golf, who did that money go to?

    At least the modified golf carts for the SS were procured from a company not owned by Trump. According to that article, though, that accounts for just a small fraction of the $77 Million spent on the president's golf outings.

    Are you dumb? One of them is 7-2 in the conference in first place. The other is 7-2 in conference in 2nd place in the conference and didn't play in the CCG due to a head to head - that took place in the fucking snow. 

    The former is 9-3 with an OOC loss to Auburn. The latter is 10-2.

    And... which team do you think is objectively better? 

    Well, Leach is 1-6 against Washington so I'd say Washington is objectively better. Petersen doesn't give an entertaining press conference, though, so I can see how you might be confused, never mind that he's 5-0 against Leach. Maybe if you're playing football in the North where weather might be a factor in November it would make sense to have a running game and not build your offense strictly around the passing attack. 

    Mike Price's Cougars were better than Leach's Cougars. He didn't give an entertaining press conference either. He only won a pair of conference championships in Pullman.

    I get the love for Leach. Don't make him out to be better than he is.
