Ariel Sharon is still in surgery and it’s late. I remembered a story I read recently about Ariel Sharon.
In a recent staff meeting Ariel Sharon received a favorite dish from an employee’s mother. He enjoyed it so much that he called and thanked her in person. It has nothing to do with all this. I was never a big supporter, actually opponent would probably be right. But I got used to him. Too many balls in the air for him to just take time out like this.
Ehud Olmert is now the official Prime Minister. The security service in charge of VIP security has set up outside Ehud’s home in Jerusalem. He is now the most protected political figure in Israel….Today was the day “Kadima” received its official paper work, finally giving it a legal identity. An identity that tonight is in hospital under going extreme surgery.
Good Night Ariel – Feel Better.
